If you agree with the majority then censorship is ok.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

That is an interesting thought experiment, but I would have say no. We all could be wrong, it has happened to me in past. Mass hysteria happens,
I'm thinking that maybe hysteria is the normal state of the masses. Or maybe its sanity is just very fragile. And social media is a rough place.
I understand what you are saying. The Internet is a BLANKhole, as my continued participation here is starting illustrate, but think a lot better of offline people.
Yes, that sounds like how I'm thinking too
With that shared, I must also add, as I have seen first-hand, from the people closest possible to me, roommates & brother & brother’s child-
Once they started spending way too much time online social media, verse online message boards & E-Mails & offline person to person or person to group, communicating, like their abilities to be good/respectful communicators, not just speaking to someone, & just generally their treatment of other people drastically changed for the worse. Like I said it is BLANKhole & it has a huge cost.
