> The same is true for good ideas. Absolutely. This is precisely why I don't think there is any form of feasible solution out there. Things get weird when forum moderation is used to snuff out dissenting opinions. You see this a lot on certain forums on Reddit in the last few years. r/Conspiracy, for example, was initially overtaken with right wing conspiracies peddled by Alex Jones (Pizzagate being the most obvious), with certain mods banning anyone critical of it and the Trump administration. Not entirely sure why my post above is receiving down votes, though, as there really isn't a realistic approach to suppressing hate speech outside of the free market that doesn't teeter on opening the door to totalitarianism. The spread and incubation of hate speech, debunked conspiracies and just general misinformation is, unfortunately, just a byproduct of the existence of the internet. Not much room for inoculation outside of education.
