Do you find it oppressive that online communities tend to restrict freedom of expression to an "acceptable" degree for their theme/userbase?

I’m talking about things such as restricting hate speech, discrimination etc. Like we did with rule 7.

No, because you don't run out in public and start insulting random passing strangers without repercussions well you don't do it and not expect repercussions unless you are mentally ill. So why should you be able to do it in public here, just because it's online. If you want to say hateful things in RL you have to find like minded hateful people to say them with why should being online be any different?
