I mean, it's also not like a weird debate party either. To stretch more analogies, it's like a building hosting permanent parties for every group, and you can go to any of them you like. Just don't go to the nazi party party. Easy.



Oh yeah, that's actually what I like about the Internet. In general, communities stay isolated. The problem with the guys on Reddit is that they'd leak out. I'd be sitting there enjoying my photos of San Francisco when suddenly, out of nowhere, bam! "(((Chesa Boudin))), Jew Extraordinaire, son of Weather Underground Illuminati will stick you full of Israeli heroin and marry your daughter off to a homeless guy who kills police wives". Yeah, no thanks. Back in the box, you go, mate. Back. In. The. Box. Fortunately, Reddit goes after the big hives of these people, and when that's done they actually just go away to their own community, with blackjack and hookers, yelling all the way about free speech.

It turns out just discouraging them from having an SSO that lets them go to the other parties is enough to get them to leave you alone.
