All it appears to have done is turn Poal into a Twitter clone echo chamber.

It lets users prevent anyone who disagrees with them from commenting. Opposite of free speech.

There are a of useless retards around here. Being able to block them so I don't have to deal with their staggeringly moronic inability to comprehend ideas that take more than two brain cells to express is helpful to maintaining sanity.

What about users who use this feature to prevent any legitimate concern or complaint about the users presented information?

All someone has to do is block anyone who disagrees with them, and they can go along spouting their own echo chamber bullshit without question. Users like Conspirologist, AKA Alex Anderson - Trinity from GLP, etc.

It turns Poal into an echo chamber. Completely eliminates any desire I have to have a conversation if someone can just pretend they're right and run away.

If I wanted an echo chamber, I'd use twatter. This was a poor decision by admins.

Please post a link to the new website you build that is like Poal but without all the echo chamber things you think are bad. The site you build should not have a block feature or any other features you deem as poor decisions to a forum type site. Once you get the site going and the link to it posted here, we will all go over to your site and tell what kind of poor decisions you've made in implementing its features. You shouldn't ban, block or ignore any of our comments on it because that would make your new site an echo chamber where only speech aligned with your opinion of things will be allowed.

Now hurry up and go build that site so we can critique your decisions.

Freedom is choosing to speak as well as choosing not to listen.

[–] • 1 pt

Choosing not to listen is all well and good, but this "feature" also prevents someone from speaking at the same time.

In other words, I would have no complaint if it blocked the user from seeing my message but allowed my message to be posted for others to see.

Allowing users to selectively enforce who can respond to them at all is censorship. Period. Full stop.

They can still speak, I can choose not to listen, seems fair.

But they cannot speak.

Once you block them, they cannot reply to your comments or submissions.

If it just prevented YOU from seeing their response, but they could still respond and OTHERS could still see it, I would agree with you.

By disallowing anyone who disagrees with you from even posting at all, you block the ability for an idea to be defeated by a greater idea, and turn this place into an echo chamber.

I'm blocking you now. How many miles of dick do you suck a week? Jesus dude.

I believe it is there so I can block incessantly whining little bitches like you.

freedom of association is bad goyim. You must allow kikes and niggers to fuck up your thread and reply chain or else muh freeze peach!!!

[–] • 0 pt

Want to know how I know you're a jew?

muh freeze peach

Individuals blocking others is not a free speech issue. Just as me not letting niggers onto my property isn't a (((civil rights))) violation.

You're being intellectually dishonest.

Of course, you're also a simpleton.

Lets see you argue out of this one faggot - why does the block feature also need to prevent someone from responding, unless it's to CENSOR other people reading them?

Information is defeated with better information, not censorship.

When did you become a censorship-happy piece of shit, smokretez alt?

Information is defeated with better information, not censorship.

So if someone posts;

niggers are equal to Whites

White women are attracted to niggers

jews are good

not all jews

jewflu exists

faggotry is healthy

faggots are okay

transexual is real

trannies are oppressed

niggers are oppressed

jews are oppressed

sandjews are oppressed

faggots are oppressed

I should have to listen to them and let them reply to me so I can "argue" the point that's been known to be false for thousands of years?

No.

Fuck that.

I want to censor that kike drivel. I don't want propaganda used against me.

Free speech is ONLY good in a homogeneous, high-trust, intelligent community. There is no discussion here. None. This isn't an opinion of mine. I don't feel this way. I know this way.

For the same reason my door prevents me from having to deal with outsiders, it prevents outsiders from having to deal with me.

It's a one way decision too. That being under normal circumstances only me, the resident of my home, get to decide when the door functions as a barrier or not.

[–] • 0 pt

Wrong, and you're a liar.

I can still stand outside your house and scream at your door all day long. This is the equivalent of silencing me.

You're still as intellectually dishonest as ever. Just like every other poor white nat nigger.

Y’know when you log on, and 80% of the first 3 pages is bullshit spammed by some retard?

That’s what it’s for.

[–] • 0 pt (edited )

Ok. That's fine. I have no problem with it blocking you from seeing their content.

Why should it also block them from responding to yours, however? What is the reason for this, other than to censor someone completely from defeating something you type with a better idea?

If, for example, you block me, and I can no longer reply to ANYTHING you type - then I am censored from pointing out information that defeats your ideas with better ideas.

It's censorship. Period.
