What's more egalitarian and accessible than allowing all "hate", "vitriol", "prejudice" and "disregard for the basic humanity of others"? What you do you prefer? A non-egalitarian and inaccessible place where only the hate, vitriol, prejudice, etc you agree with is allowed?

You say that like the latter choice is ludicrous, but community moderation is very normal online and off.

Normal maybe but that doesn't make desirable, certainly not for everyone - hence spaces like 4chan.

True but we also live in lands of common law, and 4chan is still at the base level limited by those.
