By your very nature, you can't.
As you reach a certain size, it becomes nearly impossible to moderate due to the volume of material. Also, what to moderate will always be a fight. If you have a 10 million users, and 3,000,000 of them say that something is offensive, and 3,000,000 of them say that it is not and needs to be left, you're in a real pickle. If you listen to either side, you're possible siding with a minority opinion. Even if you're siding with a minority, you're going to upset millions of people. And no matter what your stance, you're taking a stance (with either action or inaction).
What is the morally correct choice? It's the trolley problem every time a group gets offended (or counter-offended, or counter-counter-offended or...) Is it supposed to be a truly democratic state of majority, or a civil environment? What is the goal? None of these questions have "right" answers, just opinions. So what if you feel that your opinion is opposed by most of your users, who do you listen to?
