Allowing racists and fascists a seat at the table under the guise of 'fairness' or 'free speech'. Reddit became polluted with far-right astroturfing in the last six years.

It is not tolerance to welcome those persons who seek to harm you.

Reddit was full of racists even back in the early 2010s. /r/Coontown was a prime example of that.
