If we deplatform whole communities, they will meet in the dark and we have no way to see who is a shady mf
So should reddit have left subreddit a like r/The_Donald up?
As long as nothing illegal was written there, in my opinion, yes. But something against echo chambers should be done, I agree. But again, with banning them you encourage more echo chambers since there is no one thinking different than them in does dark not regulated chambers where they will flee to and find each other again. Hope that makes sense for you, generally problems don’t disappear by hiding symptoms, they just get out of sight anf come back worse than they where. I think, a better choice would be to invest in more (and better) education instead of ways to censor people.
I agree completely, I was just wondering if you applied it to situations like that
It was ok when neonazis had no wide-ranging platform to organise in and were marginalized so they didn't have a way to consolidate into a community that makes them feel supported enough to do anything stupid because they were so fragmented. It was a good way to keep them under control without harsher measures.
