when did it catch on for sites to start putting hateful comments behind a little "click here to see the hate" instead of making them go the fuck entirely away? that just draws attention to it. oh here's a long thread of comments that look the same... with one line that stands out in a different color with an offer to see a special sort of comment.
this very observably does not discourage haters from coming back to leave more special comments on post after post, nor does it stop people from responding and derailing the whole conversation onto a topic of the hater's choosing.
putting little decorations on hate speech is not site moderation. site moderation is making a fucking decision sometimes.
