I agree, it's annoying, but here's the deal: Any free speech platform will also be used by idiots and racists, even Ruqqus will eventually. The only way to get rid of them would be to institute censorship. Problem is, censorship doesn't stop with the people you disagree with the most. It will always spread. We have to stand on principle and just ignore/ riddicule these people. That's the best we can do, because free speech of those we disagree with is the necessary price for our freedom of speech.

    Absolutely, though you can only refute an argument if the other person has made an argument to begin with. "X group of people suck" is not an argument that can be refuted, just a statement that should be ignored or riddiculed. Also, it gets exhausting in my opinion to have the same argument over and over again, hence the ignoring part.

    Easy to dismiss a straw man
