For me I would hold the social media companies more to account when it comes to hate speech and harassment online and force social media companies to do more to stop online harassment and hate speech.

      And yet if there’s no moderation, entire areas get so toxic that there’s only assholes left. Blocking only gets you so far.

      It’s kind of telling that many people prefer a place without acceptable behaviour outlined. Is that because those people prefer being dicks? Or they prefer seeing others being dicks?

        No moderation isn’t ideal on most sites, but I do not think moderation should be relied on more than people’s choice to block people. My response to areas becoming toxic is avoid those areas, or, assuming you mean community when you say area, they would moderate themselves.

        The latter, they prefer for everyone to be able to be a dick.
