this is really toxic shit and fuels backlash all over the place. it's nakedly censorious but its done through the vector of reputational damage rather than authoritarian control over outputs (which wouldn't work, we have so many channels to speak with now).

you know what happens when people are browbeaten into avoiding topics in public to preserve their reputation? they talk about them IN SECRET in trusted company where their ideas won't be challenged. this intensifies echo chambers by a lot.
