Quantitative differences are still differences. 1% is different from 1.01% and from 80% .

My preferences determine what communities I prefer to be a part of.

I prefer to not be part of a community where the majority says super racist garbage.

As such, I choose not to join such a community/website.

That's where idea of public platforms as infrastructure (and actual infrastructure like DNS and carriers) if coming from.

This reminds me of people wanting to ban or filter torrent protocol itself, instead of illegal content on it.
