I have never understood this argument. As a person of colour, I have been at the receiving end of hate and threats many times, including on Reddit. That doesn't stop from going to it and why should it? Unless Reddit is explicitly and only doing this, I don't care. There are hundreds of good subreddits that are strictly moderated and harassment is not allowed. And yet there are others which I cannot stand. But I can easily ignore those.

Should we stop using the Internet because there is violent stuff and discriminatory content? Or should we using Twitter for the same reasons? Where does one draw the line and how?
