I turned the video off at around the minute mark when he said "dog whistles", a term that culture warriors use when they really want to call someone racist but can't point to a single instance of actually racist remarks.
You admittedly would have 0 idea if any instances of racism were pointed to since you turned it off after a minute due to a single phrase that's exited for a long time being used.
The dog whistle idea has a decent amount of merit with me, but one signal is not enough to call dog whistle on, it's the combination of many.
I see people online with "88" in the username and lo and peep another comment featuring a black sun, later on they're suspended for hate speech. I see people mention "international bankers" and what do you know they're later dropping parentheses around random words and denying the Holocaust.
It's a just a heuristic, it doesn't map to the real world all the time but fairly reliable online. For a crypto group I can totally see this applying.
Nah, not good enough. I've seen people accused of being racist for using "dog whistles" like the "ok hand" emoji or the letter 'H'. It's not a good heuristic, it's a way to accuse people of being racist for no reason.
Given how effective this has been for me I'm going to guess this is actually a selection bias issue.
You're noticing people doing it wrong because when people do it right you don't see anything at all, the accounts just go poof some point later when they're banned for policy violations.
