Generally speaking, when a much stronger party forces upon you a mechanism, it doesn't work in your favor. Whether they call it free speech (for bot campaigns too, while you get banned) or moderation (your opponent insults you in every comment, and they are fine, but you insult them once - you're banned).

The super weirdest thing is that people again and again believe that the strong party belonging to "their" side will do things right this time in history.
