Funny how you can have a community/forum/server for years without issues but when you go against the grain new accounts come out of the woodwork to post something rule-breaking which gets the whole place shut down.

Just looking at a site like Reddit, where over the summer most major subreddits were flooded with ACAB posts and the comments said some pretty extreme stuff without issue. But then a new account on T_D, a blue-lives-matters sub, said something anti-police and that was justification for shutting it down.

Don't let your dislike of certain communities cloud your views. Punishing the lawful majority for the actions of a few, often outsiders, and letting those few define what a community supports is not something our society needs more of.

It may not be said eloquently or politely, but assuming you know better than people because you don't like the language they use sounds elitist to me.

That said, choosing who you do and don't interact with is your own business. Perhaps "I know I know more than them because they use homophobic slurs" isn't the strongest reason though, as one does not always map to the other

fyi, the "hate speech" in question here is the fact that they were calling THEMSELVES "retards".
