having private discussion groups is different than banning someone from contribution simply because you think they might be something.
You are inadvertently supporting the same bases of bias that racial segregation came form.
And seeing as how everything is an echo-chamber nowadays, I am not surprised why that filter is established. It isnt always some great-evil yknow.
It isnt about the “safe-space” it’s about the hasty judgement of someone and banning of them all based on suspicion.
So, say I was anti-Trump and I posted there… I would still be misunderstood as an “other” and labeled, banned, etc. Then have to appeal a ban for a judgement incorrectly pre-passed on me.
Which is, yes, 1000000% the same basis of mentality, the bias of a group, that people do when being racist, sexist, etc. They arent that way for 0 reason, they rationalize stereotypes as truths and then deny the entire group. That is this, in a nutshell.
