That’s the Reddit and Youtube we need again.

  IDK, the internet of that era was a pretty toxic place. Sexism and racism were rampant, such that many people I know IRL simply refused to participate in most internet spaces (including HN). This gave the impression that those viewpoints were mainstream, but that was never the case. I don't think losing out on so many voices of people who don't want to be around that stuff is worth it.

    I can’t support this idea. These thoughts and people exist. Silencing them or pretending they don’t exist is not something I subscribe to. I would rather see it, be educated that it exists, and choose to think the way I want to. Thought policing is a slippery slope.

    so who should get to device which people are blatantly censored and silenced on what is basically public space?
