People who do this sort of thing are incredibly rare lol. Most interracial violence is black on white.

Sure, there were a bunch of genius-level physicists capable of building an atom bomb and the US Government didn't use them because it wanted to be mean to people. That's believable.

If they're getting paid and you're required to listen to them then they have the power and you're the oppressed one.

There was one threat which was immediately removed by the moderators. Why is it your business to take down an entire site because one user on it broke the rules and was stopped by the site moderators?

People always pretend this shit is about "professionalism" or whatever while ignoring that if you have leftist political opinions you can run wild rubbing them in people's faces and nothing whatsoever will happen to you.

It's so utterly and transparently self-serving, it's disgusting.

Pretty sure you don't want to admit the outrage mob is real because you are part of it.

It's scary to read the number of people responding to you with "actually, the solution IS to silence everyone who disagrees with me, we should do that as quickly as possible."

Especially the number of them who don't even seem to have read past your first sentence.

The fact that corporations can silence whoever they want doesn't change that silencing everyone who disagrees with you is a bad solution that won't work, sorry.

The actual problem isn't "trolls", it's people who call everyone who disagrees with them a troll.

Remove practically all the tools built to combat "toxicity" and force people to talk to each other and use their words again.

Also: Fire every moderator, everywhere, and never let anyone be a moderator ever again.

Trolls are a trivial problem, easily dealt with.

The real problem with practically every internet community is its moderation, because the worst people with the least business doing that job inevitably float to the top and are then impossible to dislodge without voting with your feet and creating an entire new community.
