I understand and agree with the desire to keep explicit, intentional racial hatemongering and overly divisive off-topic rhetoric out.

The rest of your post suggests otherwise.

We're all familiar with exactly what you want, which is to not be punished for hate speech and harassment. Your chosen path to this is to pretend they're "ill defined". The old "you just call anyone you don't like a nazi" defense. And it's just as bad as it's always been, because big shocker, only a very small and very specific subset of toxic personalities ever seem to struggle with this. It's never a problem for the overwhelming majority of people. That's part of the reason discord servers are chaotic, because clearing that bar is no problem for anyone except the exact people who are supposed to be filtered. If the standards were high enough that only lefties were allowed, servers would be a lot better! You're just mad because the kind of bigotry and harassment you or one of your friends or idols keeps getting banned for is something you think the targets deserve, that shouldn't be disincentivized. And uh, you're wrong.

That being said, we should take from Orwell's playbook, particularly from how he dealt with this ideology in Spain.
