Actions like these unite communities under a common threat. Voices of moderation and internal division is reduced as they fight for their common space. The people who are saying "it's us v.s. society at large" are lionized and the people who want to criticize violent or hateful acts are ignored. The community will find a way around this, there's no doubt. But now they're more radical and more threatened than they used to be. The harder it is to get to the community the more insulated and radical it becomes as fewer outside voices come in. Only the most dedicated continue on, and those are the people you want to deradicalize more than anyone. These boards have been open to everyone, if others wanted to talk to these people and provide counter arguments they're free to do so. It's the only thing that's going to go a long way in dissolving toxicity in these communities.
