An interesting perspective: when we discuss issues with genuine disagreements, relying on technical bureaucrats to rigidly define the boundaries of discourse is actually very dangerous. A truly free ecosystem is not about suppressing controversial voices; the key is to prevent platform algorithms and incentive mechanisms from infinitely amplifying certain content, which can eventually evolve into an opinion environment hijacked by a minority of voices. The balance here is very delicate — we must protect the space for diverse viewpoints to be expressed, while also preventing systemic content pushing from dominating the direction of public discussion. The original intention of decentralized community governance actually lies in this.

The core issue is that algorithmic power is more covert than censorship power, making it much harder to prevent.

That's right, excessive decision-making power by technical bureaucrats is indeed a hidden danger.
Algorithm hijacking public opinion has become quite common; decentralization is truly necessary.
This analysis hits the nail on the head; the balance is indeed delicate.
On the contrary, those who shout "protect freedom of speech" but conduct behind-the-scenes censorship are even more outrageous.
Decentralized governance sounds easy in theory, but implementing it is a hellish challenge.

Algorithmic manipulation of public opinion indeed hits the sore spot, being more covert and more deadly than censorship.

The thing about algorithms hijacking public opinion... has been obvious for a while, it's just a bit late to mention it now.

The point that algorithms hijack public opinion is spot on, even worse than strict censorship.
