With it though, people should be free to call out issues such as someone being racist, homophobic, ableist, etc.

I agree. But this is how it was pre-2020. For at least a few years during the early 2020s, things changed. I feel like it was a factor in the election and super high political polarity that exists at present tbh as so many people were annoyed by it. I remember when yahoo removed their comments section in 2020 because nearly every comment was about how fauci mishandled the pandemic by not adequetly considering non-public-health consequences to lockdowns. I remember youtube got rid of dislikes when the fauci doc got downvoted so hard. Seemed to be the straw that broke that camel’s back.
