Discord show white supremacists the door

3.8
After the horrifying events that took place in Charlottesville, USA last weekend, Discord Inc, the company behind the popular VoIP app, are in their own small way taking a stand against hate speech and Nazi ideology.

Responding to user complaints, Discord have taken down servers created by alt-right and white supremacist websites along with others linked to the tragedy in Virginia. The company clarified the situation on Twitter, posting a statement along with the message: "Love. Not hate."

Like clockwork, certain Twitter users started demanding that Discord treat left and antifa servers in the same way. Discord’s social media manager responded with a bit more class than I would have.

Beta SJWs never learn do they. Watch as they let left wing extremist run rampant across their platform as usual. Anything right of far left is "White supremacy" or "White nationalism". Filthy commies.

Glad to hear this, so tired of all the ridiculous things happening in the world this year, we're all humans no matter what you look like, no one needs to get rid of one another.

Violating terms so makes sense to take down their servers.

I love this, this is showing that SOMEONE will put a foot down to what's right. If the president will not do it then companies like Discord will do it.
