This is very disappointing to read. It tells a lot of what the behind the scenes must look like. Also good to see a mention of Sri Lanka in there. It took a network block to finally start seeing some level of response to hate speech reports in this country. I've reported text and video posts where extremist parties are stating that there's a higher race and other races should give way or get out of the country. I've also reported far more threatening foul languaged posts. In almost every case, I've received a batch of "nopes it's ok but thanks for trying. Have you considered blocking this person" type replies. After a while it's exhausting. The attitude displayed in this post about premature worrying of slippery slopes is a good hint at why this happens. Denial of certain events is actively harmful in reconciliation activities. Just because people aren't physically harmed, doesn't mean that they aren't harmed at all. Today when considering properties to rent I have to consider communities living around to ensure long term safety. There are businesses which are actively targeted to be boycotted based on the race of the owner. From a tech company perspective, it's hard that you might alienate or give the impression of being unbiased. For anyone who might be starting a community, please consider the distance to a slippery slope before worrying about it. Lying is not the same as making a mistake. Suggesting racial dominance is just as bad as advocating for racial harm. Facebook is running a thought experiment that's based on false equivalence. And I imagine the behind the scene discussions are full of "what if" type bike shedding. As a tech community building products that allow amplifying voices we can and should do better.
