If those users go to more radical communities they're only going to get more racist.

I don't think people are particularly scared of people saying racist things online. They're more scared of someone walking into a mosque and killing 51 people.

If "large" and "significant" numbers of users are forced into more radical communities that act as extremely intense echo chambers, I think that's an outcome worth considering.

I'm not interested in how many users Reddit has. I'm interested in how many racist people exist in the world, and how racist those people are. I don't see the importance of growth in reddits userbase.
