If someone’s being a prick, just clown on them. They are entitled to speak their opinion, regardless of how stupid it is. Social ostracization will always be worse than anything moderation can do anyways.
There is no objective truth; you can’t say someone who is intolerant is objectively incorrect, because in their worldview they are correct. Yes, there are bigots in the world, but taking away their right to speak is a theft of their basic human rights, and the issue is not a question of tolerance, the issue is that by silencing someone for their intolerant worldview you are righteously proclaiming your worldview as correct. I wouldn’t want my morals righteously applied onto other people; because I don’t believe my morals are objectively correct. That doesn’t mean I’m not gonna confront someone if they something I don’t jive with, it just means that I do not think they should lose their right to an opinion just because its “wrong”
People really want free speech until they don’t.

This is a clown shit comment, so I’m gonna clown on it. You are a clown. 🤡
That works while there’s enough people. If they outnumber the ones doing the clowning, it starts working the opposite way.
The tolerant must not tolerate the intolerant
