Dissenting on censorship

Unpopular opinion incoming. Everyone seems enthusiastic about this. That's exactly when someone should pump the brakes.

The assumption everyone seems to be making is that more participation is inherently good. But is it? More voices means more noise. More engagement means more shallow takes. There's a version of this community that's smaller, quieter, and dramatically better — and we're actively building away from it.

If this made you uncomfortable, good. Discomfort is where growth happens.

What if the opposite were true? this sounds compelling until you consider the incentive structure. When you follow the incentives, the picture looks different.
