To be clear, if someone is open about being racist, or sexist, or transphobic, they'll be free to try and convince other folk that racism is good actually as long as they keep it civil and don't start throwing insults?

that is exactly it. Let’s start having civil conversations about these things. Maybe we all learn something new, regardless of the side of the discussion you are on. The key here is civility.

I have zero interest in going to a place where people who want to take away other peoples rights are given a welcome mat.
The people that will go there are people who want to (civilly) hate on other folk, and free speech absolutists.
What you won't get, is a genuine cross sampling of perspectives and viewpoints, because it will end up being dominated by hateful voices (civil voices, but hateful). And that's what the other person meant when they said that no moderation is a form of censorship/bias in and of itself. Which is to say, you won't saving anyone any time soon, because the people who do want to save folks will be the least likely to use the spaces

We aren’t looking for your concern, because we do have moderation in place. Now answer this, why should they not have an opinion? Doesn’t make it right, but we do want to be inclusive for everyone regardless of their outlook on things.
Besides, if enough people actually downvotes the person, it will help teach them about how wrong they are in the subject. People with the right attitude about this will help drown out the recklessness of these haters.
We also require links to sources that back their belief. These have to be reliable sources such as media websites and government websites.

Minorities are outnumbered by definition. Putting minority rights up to majority leads to minorities getting fucked over...

I came here thinking they want to launch the next right-wing "free speech" platform. But now I'm not so sure any more. Maybe they genuinely think the marketplace of ideas works. And it'll be the right idea coming out victorious... Which might actually happen if we indeed were to do rational and logical arguments.
I'd say be aware they might just not know, how people get targeted for identity. Or face more than moderate disagreements on technology and politics... This is all my speculation but to me it sounds like the genuine perspective of someone who doesn't have a clue of the reality of the community you advocate for.

All identifying info is sha256 hashed and is not available, even to the administration. We also don’t ask for any identifying information other than email address, and that can be a throw away mail if they want.
We are taking this into consideration and are doing everything possible to mitigate that. Hell, you don’t even have to use your real name, and the only people who see the up addresses are administration, which is me and our co-founder. This info is only for security reasons which require banning an account.
If you put any identifying information on your post, then that’s all on you not us. Hell we don’t even show what state or country you’re from.
