“Read the room” has long been my least favorite internettism because it implies failure to conform is embarrassing. “Posting through it” is getting high on the list for the same reason.

Responses to this thread are pretending my argument is "let in the racists and be nice to them". *I don't want that.* Keep them out! I want normies to come here and find it fun. There are 1m daily users here out of 8bn people. Saying "I want more people here" doesn't mean "let racists in" ffs.
