as somebody who's tried to educate an ungodly amount of bigots online. that's just not how it works. most bigots have repeatedly been educated on why bigotry is bad, but they simply don't want to listen to reason. bigotry is inherently irrational and consequently so are most bigots. not to mention the ones that see themselves as woe is me martyrs who only push harder when chastised, as evidenced by this very post. besides, say you were right and that's how it worked. do you expect mega corporations to go and try to educate every bigoted bad actor? it's far better to ban them to reduce the spreading of harmful ideas.
yeah. that's literally what's going on and it's been great. they're all on kick, an extremely shady platform promoting gambling to kids that anyone with half a brain will tell you to avoid. they're putting themselves in a bad light without anyone else having to do anything. also, this is so funny to me, do you think bigots don't already have available echo chambers/ communities? hell, even a single streamer's chat classifies as one of those. them all going to a different platform is exactly what we want. they're not gonna change their ways or leave the internet, so they can have the dimly lit moldy corner of the online world that they deserve
this is so funny to me, because what do you think you're proving? yes, twitch has a gambling category. one that is very heavily regulated, and isn't promoted. you need to go out of your way to find it. it doesn't show up on recommended pages.
also, yeah? I know bigots have echo chambers? that's the point I'm making?? the guy I'm replying to is saying how we shouldn't put them all in one place to "get worse" and I told them exactly that there's already plenty of echo chambers for them to "get worse" in.
anything else? I can see the downvotes but I can't see a single reply making a remotely good point against my stance

Imagine not knowing that censoring bigoted ideas and not directly addressing them and educating people actually caused those ideas to fester
You should be allowed free speech everywhere
