Site is a graveyard - How can boards save itself? [Threadbanned users in 1st post]

Yes it happens a lot here and I was banned from a thread for mentioning this before that's how ridiculous it can be.

The double standards on boards is incredible, it's usually the liberals who try to shut down speech, this is why Musk took over twitter, to make it more open and honest because it was controlled by liberals and would shut down speech if they didn't agree with it, same on most platforms, Google, Apple etc. They remove content all the time they don't agree with.

Mods of particular threads should be impartial, non biased, should allow free discussion but this is not the case, they frequently ban people on Boards for just saying things that go against what maybe others think and it's as simple as this, the mods are usually the biased ones who agree with the topic, for example, in the motors section, talk about electric cars get banned, in the EV section, highlight anything the shows electric cars in a negative way in any way shape or form = ban. This is wrong and people need to learn to listen and not shut down others. This is what is going to happen in the hate speech laws too, allow minorities to dictate and rule the majority, this is wrong.

boards.ie is declining and it won't be here in 10 years as this form of communication is ancient and only appeals to the 30's + the 20's are all on instant gratification platforms shuch as youtube shorts, tiktok and instagram, there's probably others.

I got banned from one of the EV threads simply for posting an article about the damage lithium mining is doing.

I created a new thread in the EV section about the concerns of lithium mining and why don't we destroy our own land to get lithium is electric cars are so environmentally friendly ? there is lithium around mount leinster and cobalt in the south west but guess what ? the whole thread disappeared, boards.ie mods simply should not have this level of power.

As it stands boards is a site you visit if you want to have a argument with some randomers online and is useful for little else at the moment.

Say what you want though, r/Ireland is far, far worse, absolute pure toxic, I thought this place was bad until I discovered that and I'm talking more about the SS style modding where you really can't offer any opinion that goes against the modern day liberalist view or you can be banned from the whole platform not just r/ireland this is the extent the folk at r/Ireland go to , they will have you banned off the platform entirely so that others won't have to hear anything you got to say that they don't agree with.

I do firmly believe Mods on Boards have far too much power, thread bans, Site bans, even deleting threads they don't think should be seen FFS, it's an incredible abuse of power on such a platform. Just because someone doesn't want to hear or see something shouldn't give them the right to have it removed even if people complain, what type of platform is this if only boards approved content can be displayed ? I know they have the right as a private company but still, it's an abuse of power and free speech which the internet was supposed to be all about.

We all have social media accounts ?

I don't.
