How do you reconcile that with censorship in general?
Censorship is being put in actual jail under threat of a gun for saying something. Private individuals and organizations should not be forced to subsidize your speech.
I think that's kind of a limited definition. You can be censored without being put in jail or forced into it by violence.

Notch is absolutely right. Shame on Microsoft.
He is right about Pizzagate being true and Q being legit? Enlighten us.
It's sad how wealth affected Notch or perhaps magnified his character. A long time ago, I started following him on Twitter and I think I lasted about 2 weeks before I unfollowed him. The sheer negativity and woe is me is bananas. If there's a prime example that money doesn't buy happiness, he is one.
To be fair- The Notch you are disliking is the same person he was __before__ the influx of Micro$oft cash. At very least, he's consistent.

Enlighten yourself. I have to post here with a throwaway account after my other account got shadow banned for not being PC. 99% of HN are sheep. Silicon valley is blinding you all. Logic is going down the drain. Diversity in mental illness is taking over.

(Replying to this comment as it's at the top, though the poster should read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ) From the links in this article: he called Zoe Quinn a c-word (which many people have), tweeted "It's ok to be white." (which it is), and says he doesn't regard biological men who identify as women are women (which is a fairly common belief). QAnon is a weird conspiracy theory, but the rest do…
>Zoe Quinn a c-word (which many people have) Examples? Sounds like Microsoft won't invite those 'many people' too then. His statements on Pizzagate being real and QAnon being legit have been used to push those theories among the alt-right and white supremacists. >It's probably worth having a Code of Conduct which requires explicit hard left belief systems if you're going to exclude people with mainstream beliefs. Piz…
Pizzagate is indeed a fringe belief, as the comment you're replying to already mentions, but should anyone who believes conspiracy theories be excluded? What about left wing ones like Russiagate?
Notch is not racist. If you think it's not OK to be white you may wish to look for racism closer to home.

Given all that, it's pretty predictable what "jerk" plus "money" will add up to.

We've banned you for primarily using HN for ideological flamewar, ignoring our requests to stop, and using multiple accounts to do it. Would you please not create accounts to break the site guidelines with? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Microsoft is simply applying a strategy that's known to work (see: the study confirming that banning problematic subreddits has had a positive effect on Reddit as a whole). This is what happens when you hold views decent people don't hold: you get silenced, ostracized, and your name blotted from your own work. Want decent people to engage with you? Change your mind.

Someone in the Minecraft YouTuber community speculated that perhaps he got involved with party drugs (MDMA) and it affected him permanently, as they had seen something similar happen with a friend of theirs. Pure speculation.
