I was always against de-platforming people. I was one of those people who protested against removing Trump from Twitter. I was one who protested against limiting hate-speech instances. I always thought removing people is dangerous. Now I believe I was wrong. Removing some people from some platforms is one of the best tools we have to protect humanity from harm. I admit I was wrong.

arh@mstdn.io's status on Saturday, 19-Nov-2022 08:45:25 JST arh @lxo exactly. Our ideas change when we are presented with new facts and knowledge and there’s no shame in it. It actually shows we’re growing and not close-minded.
Btw, I always get happy when I see you read my posts and reply to me. You’re one of those people I always admired and it makes me happy that you interact with me.
