I understand being guarded against this. I have several queer identities, one of which is being trans, meaning that I'm often the target of hate speech. I have no desire to see this on this platform, and the easiest way to explain our space is to say that we are a safe space (this is itemized in another philosophy post), but we are not a sanitized space. I'm not sure how best to collect "best of community" type posts, or show examples of what gets left up, but I think you're not the only person that this would benefit, so I'd love for them to get collected and shown off at some point.
This post was mainly to quickly address issues like the one I highlighted above, which are tricky to navigate. This post was to help users understand when they do come across content like this (which is awesomely quite rare) why it may have been left up. We of course always encourage you to report content if you are unsure, but we don't always have time to explain everything and this is our attempt at a compromise where we explain the ideals as an attempt to gain a little bit of trust.
