They are a good example of how the anti-moderation philosophy of economically privileged white male techie libertarianism leads to sites being taken over by the worst elements of humanity. On Reddit too, the site admins are delusional idiots who think it is OK to give racists and fascists a megaphone to propagandize and recruit new followers because it's "free speech".

I miss the golden age of internet message boards in the early 00s when the internet was filled with well-moderated message boards that kept out the bigots, trolls, and shit-posters.
