The problem is when one side is calling everything they disagree with “hate speech” and banning everyone that even questions it.

Individuals blocking people isn’t “silencing” them. It’s not infringing on free speech.

It’s funny that you mention an echo chamber when this heavy handed Moderation and censorship is literally making one. When you only allow one viewpoint and ban all the others you’re literally making an echo chamber. You guys want an echo chamber, just one that echos your viewpoint.
