    Your suspicion is incorrect. Yes I am a new member, and in this short time I've been exposed to many discussions I'd rather not see, and make me feel like Tildes isn't going to be the alternative to HN, Reddit, Lobsters, etc that I was looking for. If y'all want nazis sitting at your table, fine. But I won't be there.

    Ban hatemongers, make them feel unwelcome. That's it, it doesn't seem that difficult. Saying it's the users fault for not liking these opinions is missing the point. You're building a community...

    Ban hatemongers, make them feel unwelcome. That's it, it doesn't seem that difficult. Saying it's the users fault for not liking these opinions is missing the point. You're building a community whether you like it or not, if you don't eliminate these folks it pushes people that vehemently reject these views away. There are many other places to receive entertainment on the order of Tildes where I don't need to deal with eugenics advocates on a daily basis. If you're intentionally taking this position because you approve of the posts, then this will be my last visit. Throwing your hands up and saying "it's too difficult" is a cop out.
