That confuses silence for consent. The users still there aren’t necessarily endorsing the policy; many are likely just tolerating it. Meanwhile, the hundreds who have already left are the proof that it’s driving users away.

Ah, ‘different principles’… Now we get to the heart of it.
Enjoy your principled stand with the racists. Blocked.
