Leftist article where Islamophobia (convert or kill non-believers) and anti-Semitic (Jews control world finance, media, and manipulate the US Congress) posts can equal sharing facts about all semites. The hate part should be banned. The truth needs to be told, and told again. Truth is not hateful in any way.

TLDR: because Reddit is not using precrime detection to pre-emptively ban subreddits which will turn into "hate subreddits".

Not a single mention of bad actors vs. sub communities as a whole.

That is one tone deaf article.

I created an account just to say hate communities should exist. Love communities exist. Hate communities should exist too. All this talk of hate speech is a scary slippery slope. And there are plenty of hate communities from all kinds of perspectives, not just “alt-right”.

anyone against "hate" is against the hatred of child rape.

ppl so braindead that shit like "dur hate bad" resonates with them are trash and responsible ppl can't listen to them. it enables the child rapists that want to use "dur hate bad" to build out the legal and tech infrastructure for censorship to keep their crimes hidden.
