What sort of asshole joins a community as a tourist, and then reports THEM?! That's for people disrupting a community's conversation...you can just leave.

I was part of a community, someone from the community hanging out on server A (which the community has designated as official at the time) says, hey come join us on server B, we're the same community (and they do indeed use the name of the community)! Server B is racist vitriol garbage against the TOS of the platform. I report them. Easy as that :) I think WSB will last longer if we don't get sucked into that kind of garbage. "4chan with a Bloomberg Terminal" is satire, not a goal. - Off topic, but your anger is so delicious, you're exactly the kind of person I live for, it's like my very existence is kryptonite for you :) People who think I don't have a right to be offended at something enough to report it... but are offended enough that a black man reported someone who's spamming the word nigger on a platform that bans hate speech that you called the black guy an asshole. People who think that banning racist speech and homophobia is creating a safe space... but whine that no one will host their safe space for white supremacy. The reverse-snowflakes, if you will :) You're all being chased off the internet, Parler's dead, whatever trash platform you come up with next will be dead, Trump's out, all the companies that run the world kowtow to the dirty liberal agenda of being against racism and homophobia and white supremacy, and even if you think it's just lip service, here's a great example of it working out just fine :) We were all worried wrong-think would end up being anything that goes against those in power... turns out wrong-think is saying nigger hundreds of times, and I'm ok with that as a black guy :)

  Not everything is identity politics dude. You should chill out.

  The smileys, the manner of speech, this comes off as fedora-wearing levels of embarrassing.

    - Nothing I wrote is embarrassing. - I don't think a fedora would fit over my afro. - If you'd be too embarrassed to stand up to someone calling you an asshole for not tolerating racist drivel, you need to work on your self-esteem :)

  The racists et al will find another room, another platform. IRC/Usenet groups, meshnets, bathroom walls, it doesn't matter: if people have ideas, they will express them, unless Totalitarianism. Best to refute, even if it doesn't scale.

  > "We're suffering from success and our Discord was the first casualty. You know as well as I do that if you gather 250k people in one spot someone is going to say something that makes you look bad. That room was golden and the people that run it are awesome. We blocked all bad words with a bot, which should be enough, but apparently if someone can say a bad word with weird unicode icelandic characters and someone can screenshot it you don't get to hang out with your friends anymore. Discord did us dirty and I am not impressed with them destroying our community"

    ... this would be a great reply if my situation didn't happen months ago. Discord didn't ban them after they got proof an admin was spamming the word nigger, you think they got banned over some unicode letters? The place was choc full of racist garbage, not typical WSB edgy satire, rtfa. - There is another WSB discord which used to be the one linked, had tens if not hundreds of thousands of users, and never devolved to the level that one did. Know why? Because the mods weren't the type of people who spam nigger.
