No, I said the result was overall positive and the study confirms that.
You've cherry picked what you got out of that text a bit:
> They specifically call out that departed users in past studies end up MORE Radicalized.
The text specifically says "found a subset of users". It's not "departed users", but a subset of them. Of course there's going to be a few that got worse... they're people.
The main point is: How did the whole system change? - Slightly positive. Where did the most toxic people go? - Away, where others won't easily find them by accident. We're not going to prevent the already evil from finding each other, but we can succeed in creating environments where they're not the normal group.
