I am also very in favor of this because of radicalization. I have absolutely no experience running or moderating any sort of online community so I can appreciate that this might be dumb, but to me I wouldn’t even ban openly belligerent liberals or fascists in hopes of working the long game and changing their perspective slowly behind closed doors (or, at the very least, the minds of silent lurkers represented by such people representing their ideologies having their points torn apart). I know the risk of corruption though, if for example GZD or lemmygrad had done that I would have been a severe risk of slowly losing its ML backbone, there’s definitely pros and cons to it.
