View submission: Removing harassing subreddits

View parent comment

That's one way this could work. It's also possible that a good way to increase bigotry is to create communities that nurture it, that make partial-bigots, closet bigots, and even mostly-not-bigoted people feel as if bigotry is OK and most other people share their bigoted views. So it's very possible that shutting down these subreddits is more like destroying a spawning site that would otherwise just keep on periodically spitting out trolls into the wider reddit community.
