r/moderatepolitics was the worst for that.
Their moderation policy basically allowed any abhorrent view as long as it was expressed in a "civil" manner.
Trolls and racists could say things like "well, in my humble opinion, black people are just inherently violent and unintelligent" and anyone who got irate and called them out would get a warning and/or banned.
Unsurprisingly, that’s a fast track to becoming a racist sub. See also the Nazi bar parable.
In my experience, the more obsessed a sub's mods were about civil language, the more "be civil" meant "don't sass the nazis."
Won't anyone think of the nazis?!
Ah, centrism. God love it.
The term Nazis has lost all its meaning with how watered down its become.
You're responding to a three month old comment.
Your point?
Yours? You joined a 3 month old thread to whine about how much you get called a nazi.
Oh you think you know me? Go back to Reddit and stop crying about being called out.
Called out for what exactly?
