If you click down on the file to see what's left in underneath, it continues with loads of duplicate rules which do the same thing. This feels like tidying up to me, as a complete outsider.
The rule that was removed:
- Hate speech is not allowed
The rules that are still there:
- Hate speech is discouraged
- Illegal hate speech is not allowed
You'll notice that this has opened up an allowance for legal hate speech, which is merely "discouraged", which of course no malicious actor is going to care about.
Bottom line, yes, hate speech is now allowed.
