The downvotes do nothing. Hell, some instances don't even allow downvotes. And sure, it gets buried, but it's still there. There for eyes to see. Curious eyes that want to see what was so terrible. The same curious eyes that the hate groups depend on for recruitment. No. Delete it. Ban the user. Make it known that that content is NOT acceptable. I'm telling you guys, as someone who grew up surrounded by that shit, you give them an inch, they'll trash the place.
Funny that’s how I feel about censors.
