>Because those conversations do end up happening elsewhere All research shows the opposite in fact. Adding friction to something causes a chilling effect in nearly any and all examples we have ever paid attention to.

When reddit banned a bunch of toxic communities, the entire site had less toxicity, even on subreddits that were unrelated to the toxic communities Friction works. It works insanely effectively too.
