That is a very good and valid point.
I believe pretty strongly with the line of thought that if you sit at a table with 8 Nazis, there are now 9 Nazis at the table, and I think it applies even more strongly with online communities. If a person is still engaging with a cesspool like the former Twitter at this point, it's tantamount to being a collaborator. I hold that the tolerance of intolerance is suicide for any society.
The creation of those communities at a different "table" is just a click away. Change is hard, but sometimes necessary.
