The irony of this being posted on Twitter is not lost on me. Twitter, the site where bullying, racism, illegal content, calls for violence & discrimination, political extremism etc. are much larger in numbers than on any of the 2/4/8/whatever-chans.
What accounts for the difference? IMO it's all about paying lip service - and occasionally providing a feature to help users. The feature may get yanked out anyway, like "Quality Filter Discrimination" was.
