I agree with the sentiment that morally bankrupt people are people too. The problem is that these people end up flooding and drowning out open access platforms and create a toxic environment for everyone but them.

And I don't believe it's impossible to have a platform that these people can be on without them subsequently destroying the platform. I've personally got a design for a network I think that can accomplish these objectives. I'm sure there are many strategies that can work.

But if a new social network makes a pitch and it doesn't go way out of its way to say how they're going to contain the massive influx of toxic runoff from the mainline social networks, then I can assume that if I join, that will be the environment. I can assume the only people on that board are the people too extreme for 4chan. I'll pass.
