Is cancel culture a good thing?

Granted if you haven't been racist or insulted a religion or something. If you just have different opinion on certain issues.

Easy: no.

My thoughts exactly.

No, it's not even a good thing if you been racist or insulted a religion. It's an attack on you as an individual to conduct commerce and make a living.

Cancelling opinions removes them from the public dialogue where they can be openly debated.

If you mean our current society with culture. yeah, cancel it. it's broken.

Hahaha true

Are you a celeb worried about being "cancelled?" Then pay attention to what you say/do because you do not the right to other people's money in the form of paychecks or platform access.

TBH most people crying "cancel them" have no impact whatsoever. If it did, no one would be reading Harry Potter any more.

I mute freely. Local Cancel is how Nostr works :-)

The best practice to do is blocking somebody you don’t agree with.

All the cancelling is part of something much bigger: Control.

Fuck that, honestly.

No. Free speech is the only way.

Yep

What you say is racist may not be to others.

And from where i heil from i can tell you this is very nuch the situation

Isn't "cancelling" a function of culture? People's problem is that their culture is just not the current dominant one.

Not really

Every culture has, and currently still, engaged in it. Each has their own thresholds for what is acceptable and what isn't and anything that falls outside the bounds of acceptability is "cancelled". I have yet to see anything besides this.

Even free speech absolutists usually drop it once someone pushes for things they don't want.

two of my books got cancelled by the publisher, they are not for sale anymore ... so my ego says: it's not good

Hahahha you're funny

On a serious note, I'm sorry

it's all good, they were shitty anyway 😬

Oh LOL

I seriously still don't get how any adult can get mad, insulted by words.

of course not

No. It’s childish. Who am I to cancel someone? Ignore and move on.

It is

Well, I don’t think we should cancel the cancelers or we’ll become the cancelers. But in general mind your own and stay off my land.
