Yes the same heavy moderation that worked wonders for curtailing the rise of hate speech online over the last decade. It did not at all just incentivized the hate mongers to simply build their own platforms and audiences were they cannot be fact checked by anyone sane.

Let people spout and indulge in all the hate speech they want, instead have social mechanisms to dissuade from it. You know, like the real fucking world. The downvotes on reddit are such a simple mechanism that works at a level similar to how social feedback leads to self censorship people do in the real world.

Also fuck outta here with fact checking bs. You don’t hear more disinformation than the kind that gets repeated in barbershops daily, even before the internet and no one ever thought you had to fact check the shit Tony is saying this week. You just learned to take everything with a grain of salt.
