Did you consider maybe just letting people enjoy things that aren’t for you instead?

Nope :) I'm black, I didn't like seeing a guy say ni*er hundreds of times in charge of the place where WSB users end up, I reported it :) (and don't give me some dumb bullshit about "wElL yOu GuYS sAy Ni*a" it's not the same no matter how upset that makes you) Took a while but I'm glad it's gone :) - I spent a lot of time on the main Discord that existed before this one (which most people had abandoned at the time since it was devoid of intelligent speech even by WSB) WSB by it's nature has some rough edges, it's not the most politically correct place. But a mod, a real mod with admin, not the joke WSB mod stuff... saying that stuff so much? Nah I'm going to report it. WSB is on the edge of satire and outright toxicity but it toes the line fairly well. That server was the opposite, mostly toxic (and not even in a humorous or satirical way) with very occasional coherency.

  I fail to see how someone saying a word in a place you have no intention to hang out in hurts you.

    You fail to see how encountering casual racism hurts a person of color?

    ... what? I did have an intention, the mod killed that intention. I had enjoyed the other WSB discord very much, and was looking forward to a new server I'd enjoy and because of a jackass mod who say nig*er a lot I couldn't enjoy that. So a very proportional response is to report the server they moderate! I didn't lie, I didn't misconstrue anything, I said "this server has a moderator that spams nig*er very casually" Are you defending that? Or blaming me for their behavior? Or faulting me for not liking that? Which is it? - Because make no mistake, if this wasn't an admin level mod saying this I wouldn't report them. I even get the WSB "everyone is a mod" meme. And I get moderation is tough, things slip, that's life. But when your admin says nig*er hundreds of times for fun... you're crossing a line.

    Did you read his post? He was active in the community. Was active in the one Discord server. Wanted to continue being active in the other, and saw all this racist crap.

I will admit that racist clubs aren’t for me. However since they are against me, my race, and the continued breathing of my family... I reserve the right to report them. Racist groups start with talk, then inevitably end with burning crosses and dangling nooses. This isn’t hyperbole.

  It is hyperbole, and it isn't going to work for you much longer.
