MODERATORS
maybe if you were actively looking for them or are very easy on the trigger of calling people racist, yeah they weren't contained I guess
Apathy toward intolerance only allows it to fester. You don't walk past a pile of embers and shrug just because nothing's currently on fire.
im sure banning those communities will end racism
they almost always were in their own little corner
there's no protecting minorities if they choose to go to racist places
on the typical subreddits mods or even the admins themselves were fast to remove comments or posts so they were "protected"
can you give an example?
If you were lucky enough to never encounter them, then well, congratulations. That certainly wasn't my experience, or, I'd wager, a common experience.
I'm sure installing fire hydrants in cities will end structure fires.
well if you want to compare people to fires be my guest
