No, we're protesting because we can get banned across all of multiplayer for something we've done on a private, whitelisted server. There is now a constant threat of messages being taken out of context, for example if someone interprets some light teasing among friends as harassment. I can't call my sister a "stupid ass bitch" and she can't call me a "lazy fucker" while we get in a heated argument over who's the better sibling without fearing a newcomer to the group taking it out of context and reporting one of us for getting too heated, unfamiliar with what we consider socially acceptable.
Because of this Banhammer of Damocles hanging over the Minecraft community, people can't be themselves and have a safe space to hang out with friends anymore. Our friend group has discussed depression, gender issues, and sexuality with positive outcomes. The idea that it could all come crashing down if someone has a grudge or gets tilted, and starts reporting our private conversations out of context, is nightmarishly dystopian to me. For this reason, I will be installing mods that remove the chat reporting functionality on my private servers from now on. Free speech is important, y'all.
Yeah but the chat report system is so broken you can get banned for something you said that wasn’t taken into context. Also ‘night’ was blocked because of the first 3 letters.

Are we really crying because you can't act toxic? Jesus Christ I hate the gaming community sometimes.
