I don’t think so. It’s probably what keeps it small and more personal. There is also the notion of responsibility: if a person I invite causes trouble, it’s potentially on me. Maybe not on the first infraction, but if one invites 20 spammers/cryptobros/venturecapitalists, it’s reasonable to block the inviter too.

I’m not arguing one way or another (that’s not my decision anyway), but I can understand why they do this.

You’ll probably enjoy Lobsters: https://lobste.rs/

You also can’t play the socom games from PS2, because of the idea of glorifying terrorists. Since if they win, the announcer says “terrorists win”.

Wouldn’t the same apply to Counter-Strike? Did they change it since the last time I played ages ago?
