It suck that they implements karma and collapsing downvoted comments. Two censorship methods
The collapsing of downvoted comments is configurable in the user settings, so it's possible to disable it or fine tune it to the way you want it. The discussion is still valid for what the default settings should be
I'm still learning about the karma side, so I don't want to comment on that yet
Should be the opposite, people who want to collapse comment with lot of downvotes should activate it
The downvotes and karma do not stop you from saying whatever you want. It just means you have to say it somewhere else. Hence, you are not censored.
Are you being glib?
When a comment is collapsed , people tend to skip the comment. Hiding stuffs is censorship
It's just improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
Yes; through censoring unpopular comments. Whether or not it's a good thing is debatable, but not so much whether it exists.
