It was in the etiquette before you even joined and before this whole thing ever happened that hate speech and racism is not tolerated. If you want to be racist or hate groups of people, you've always got voat or 4chan or 8chan or whatever. Stormfront? I'm just glad I've found a website kind of similar to reddit that's willing to shut it down. Pretty cool in my mind.
It's important not to equate the defending of hate speech with the desire to produce hate speech oneself. I'm not sure what's happened in the last few years but it seems that the tolerance for free and open discussion has really waned. It's disheartening to see an new platform like snapzu follow that trend
Nope. Places like coontown still exist. This is the only website I know of like reddit that actually does disallow that sort of thing, and I find that refreshing. That way people who want to participate in hateful stuff can be happy somewhere else while this website can be happy not to have them.
