While MeFi has its own blind spots, it is definitely one of the nicest communities online because of:
(1) $5 fee to sign up. (2) It doesn't believe in absolute "free speech" like Reddit or HN. The moderators will tell you to cut it out.

HN absolutely moderates certain speech, and every subreddit is different - I'm a mod on one, and I absolutely do not hesitate to swing the hammer when necessary.
