As someone who has managed a website: This is utter bullshit.
A website is someones private property and the organization is purely hierarchical in nature. It goes owner > admin > moderator > user and each one has control over the others.
The components to host a site (a server, hard drives, etc.) cost money. The connection to the internet costs money. The physical location costs money to exist in.
That private property still lives in a physical location and must abide by local laws. The laws differ based on the physical location, but there are laws they must abide by, all the same.
When someone bans you, what options do you even realistically have other than getting your own private property and spinning up your own site? Usually arguing about a ban goes badly.
I want some of whatever you’re smoking. Websites are the complete opposite of open and community operated. Computers were never built for democracy.
Well websites are moneyless, classless, and stateless friend. We aren’t talking about rocket appliances here. Do you even definition?
