Deplatforming makes cliques more valuable. Cliques robustly preserve clique knowledge. Deplatformed cliques "know" some caustic bullshit.
I'm not proposing any solutions in this thread. (I'm working on one, though.) Instead, this is just a prelude to a prompt: What's the strongest experimental or empirical defense of social network deplatforming and platform-controlled moderation that you've seen?

This doesn't answer your question but it may be worth considering that we got to this point after decades where the far right absolutely didn't have access to sympathetic mass media or platforms with wide reach. And yet Trump happened and was explicitly endorsed by Stormfront.

This is *kinda* an entirely different domain, but might be of assistance: The Sad/Rabid Puppy offense against the Hugo Awards. It was very Gamergate-like; a mix of outrage and trolling. They struck some serious blows. 1/2

But: (a) The Hugos proved pretty resilient, specifically thanks to "No Award" being a viable vote. Puppies could get crap in the spotlight, but the wider community could say, "Yeah, no." (b) Good voting systems, that were improved further, in wise ways.
