And you will be the one deciding what constitutes hate, whose voice to cut off?

As long as we have ways to give feedback and affect the system this is a good thing.
The less recourse we have the more authoritarian it is though.

It will be me. You have freedom of speech. I am also free to ignore, mock or ostracize you if you spout hateful nonsense near me.

The community tends to vote with the little arrows.
And thankfully, hate is pretty easy to identify. Take any group of people, if you don’t like one in particular, the whole group, that’s hate. I don’t like trans people. I don’t like black people. See? It’s easy.
There is acceptable hate, and that’s based on human morality. I hade racists. I hate pedos.
If everyone lived with that simple philosophy in mind, love thy fellow humans, not hate (except you, pedos) then the world would be a better place.
