The discussion here in this specific chain of comment started because I responded to this: > I would like reddit to be a place for completely free, uncensored expression. By saying: > This is nice in theory, but it basically requires defending the rights of hate groups to silence those they hate. Allowing the hate groups a home on reddit makes them feel comfortable. Deleting the hate group subreddits reduces their ability to silence others. It sends a message to both the haters and their targets that the hate is not welcome. If it's a choice between censoring a bunch of evil bigots, and letting their uncensored speech censor the people they hate, I will pick censoring the bigots every time.
