This has been proven wrong time and time again. People dont want to casually interact with nazis and hate-mongers so it drives away any reasonable people, leaving only the despicable views. Look how quickly twitter turned into a cesspool. Look at 4chan, which was always awful but has only gotten moreso over the years. Show me one place with low moderation that isn't completely overrun with nazis and other scum, and that still has a thriving community of regular, tolerant people.
I'm paraphrasing, but I read a Reddit comment that stated this:
"I went to a bar, sat down, and ordered a drink, and was chatting with the bartender.
A dude sat down next to me, and the bartender immediately said "No, get the fuck out, right now."
The other dude said "What did I do?"
The bartender pulled out a sawed off baseball bat, and said again "Leave right fucking now, or I'll call the cops."
The other dude said "Fuck you!" and all the other stuff, but left.
After he left, I asked "What was that about?"
The bartender said "He was a Nazi. He had the tatts. When you let the first one in, they're polite and well behaved, scoping the place out. But then, if you don't get rid of them right then, they invite their friends, and the next thing you know your bar is Nazi Bar. And all the decent people will leave. Fuck that."
Why saw off a baseball bat?
Because it's easier to use in small spaces, and faster.
