They're not saying fuck you they're saying this dude is bad for our platform and we should remove him for the enjoyment of others.

That's subjective.

I find your comment offensive - I'm going to get my friends to report you to reddit admins because we disagree with you.

Do you think this is an acceptable system?

You're not allowed to talk here - there's just a comment box - a reply button - you can communicate with me, but if I don't like it, you shouldn't be able to.

I can get people to report you - we can silence you - is that okay?

Should it be okay for me to do that?

The answer is no, never - unless you're literally inciting violence or making threats - but we don't hold companies to the same standard.

You should be outraged if you care about your freedoms at all.
