Why so much hate on MN?

Why so much hate on MN?
Posters hiding behind complaints about the government, presenting themselves as reasonable actors, to push hate about asylum seekers, people with disabilities, benefit claimants..Mostly the same names all day everyday.
I am told to report - MN just not interested.
I am told to hide the thread..
Why isn't moderation better?
I know this will always exist and exists on other platforms but MN makes no effort to even try to anything about it.
You can't really sell MN as a caring, supportive site with all this stuff offered on a daily basis in active.

Blimey, some people believe MN pulls rank favouritism - in the form of deciding whether to delete posts flagged as possible hate or not - for the sake of a fiver a month ?! Really??

Why would they choose to spite people who don’t pay for premium in the form of deliberately not bowing to their assessment of what constitutes hate?

Fwiw, I don’t pay for premium and I don’t remember any times where I’ve
reported hate and it’s been ignored. I don’t report everything I see mind you - often the misogynistic hate from TRAs posting on the FWR boards is really useful to leave standing, so casual observers can see it and make up their own minds. MN are still making money off me from all the ads - and given how much the site is stuffed with them now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they earn more than a fiver from what I view per month anyway.

I think it’s just rounding on someone for no reason. It’s obviously not true.

@LuckyHazelFoxhang in there!

Nobody is rounding on someone, it was just an observation.

Some posters agreed, others disagreed.

My username was generated randomly by MN. No I'm not laurence fox. There are some failed Colombos 😆 🤣

I never imagined you were that Fox. He wouldn't make money by posting here so probably wouldn't be interested.

I won't be hounded off. I'm just ignoring silliness x

To be clear, I'm not saying that I think MNHQ does consider premium membership status when making moderation decisions. I have no evidence that either substantiates or disproves that suggestion.

I merely observed that this was not a possibility that I had even considered previously when trying to understand the very inconsistent nature of their approach to moderation.
