Think of it as someone’s private house or warehouse. Everyone is invited in to hang out and talk. At first there is a lot of freedom and no one is really affected. It becomes popular and there are many different types of people and open conversations are happening everywhere.
A new owner takes over the place.
He decides that some people shouldn’t be allowed to talk. He has a bunch of loud mouth obnoxious friends with extreme ideas and he starts giving them a louder voice. Anyone that disagrees or challenges them are drowned out, pushed to the back or told to leave. It’s become their place and their hang out now.
It’s not a public space and you really have no rights to anything there because it’s all privately owned by someone else. Write, share and save as much as you want there but none of it is really under your control or ownership.
You can shout, fight, disagree and challenge them all you want but it’s their place. You have no power there because if you put up too much of a fight, you’ll be pushed out, told to leave and never come back.

No. Let it die. Let it become an obvious negative, like 4chan.
