  How “open” a website is, is up to the owner, and that’s all.

  As someone who registered this account on this platform in response to Reddit’s API restrictions, it would be hypocritical of me to accept such a belief.

    Well, until we abolish capitalism, that’s the state of things. Unless you feel like Nazis MUST be freely given access to everything too?

      I can see that things are the way things are. Accepting it is a different matter.

      Unless you feel like Nazis MUST be freely given access to everything too?

      To me, the “access” that I am referring to (the interface with which you gain access to a service) and that “access” (your behavior once you have gained access to a service) are different topics. The same distinction can be made with the concern over DoS attacks mentioned earlier in the thread. The user’s behavior of overwhelming a site’s traffic is the root concern, not the interface that the user is connecting with.
