The Question and Answer Board

[IH Geek [Dave]]

This not a democracy. It's a benevolent dictatorship. As is the case with every privately owned social media website. If you want a "democratic" website then create one and take no part in moderating/curating the content there. See how well that goes.

Let the board posters decide. Are we democratic or are we not?

1984 was about government suppression and thought control. Private websites are not government. Although recent events in federal court and elsewhere have exposed the government leaning too far into suppressing protected speech on the interwebs in violation of their constitutional limits.

Allowing only one person or those not completely submersed in the daily chats to act as a supreme dictator and judge is akin to living the 1984 saga.
