Well put. I agree with this.

They often have other communities that validate the bad ideas. So they feel “censored” when they act the same way in public and get reprimanded. When it is actually just communities moderating hate.

Okay. I’ve been pondering myself for a while. I think I asked the wrong questions previously.

The situation isn’t about ostracizing users, it is about a desire for a company to not platform and financially support fascist people. Which makes total sense to me.

Thank you for your response. I hear you loud and clear.

I appreciate your response. I do not want to be in the same room as people that think my peers or I shouldn’t exist based on identity. Therefore people experiencing desires of fascism aren’t welcome. I still personally ponder how to rehabilitate them.

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying.

I just want people to ponder this: What happens when we ostracize people with bigoted beliefs from our communities? Does that mean we have given up on the idea that communities can change people? Does that mean our community is not responsible for helping people realize their bigotry?
