It continuously baffles me that some people don't learn from unmoderated online communities. They become dens of bigotry, doxing, attack mobs, racism, misogyny.

- s9w 6y agoThat's a difficult discussion. These sites offer so much more than what they're always reduced to. I would even argue that they're sometimes nicer places than Reddit or hn. And even with those icky subjects they're not always as black or white as they're portrayed. Even if you don't believe that they're right about them, they're evidently more open to their debate.
