Why should hundreds of users have to migrate to a third-party app because the official platform refuses to stop one person from spamming racial slurs? The problem isn’t the community, it’s the lack of moderation.
So instead of basic moderation, filters and decency hundreds of users should abandon the official group chats so ignorant racists can have a slur-fest?
That confuses silence for consent. The users still there aren’t necessarily endorsing the policy; many are likely just tolerating it. Meanwhile, the hundreds who have already left are the proof that it’s driving users away.
Arguing that the targets of harassment should be the ones to leave, rather than expecting the platform to curb the harassment, is a profound failure of community principle. I see absolutely no value in continuing this discussion with you.

idk, but apparently hundreds of users also have no problem with the policy of the official platform. So maybe that isn’t the right space for you.

Not all communities are for all people. Maybe it’s refreshing that there exists a place that doesn’t have the same community principles.
Ah, ‘different principles’… Now we get to the heart of it.
Enjoy your principled stand with the racists. Blocked.
