Collective ostracism is compatible with anarchism.

That's a very good point, and of course the question between the values of freedom and the values of inclusivity arises. In this case, they are unfortunately opposed, and thus leads to one of the ambiguities of anarchism.

For this reason I've dabbled in thinking about some sort of tribal-anarchism, or other subforms that may give an answer. Unfortunately, any solution to this problem requires the sacrifice of a value. If I were to pursue the route of thought in my original post, yes, very likely a set criteria of values would be developed, and thus unfortunately a state is born. But if one were to remained laissez faire about such social values, the current state of social dynamics would remain constant - would it not? And isn't anarchism, in part, a reaction to such unjust social values?

So, maybe my not very critical reaction to the state of this sub wasn't sufficient in providing a solution. I admit that; I read the post about the deletion of the r/bestofrape and saw the bigoted responses merely 3 minutes prior. I hope this clarifies my raw sentiments.
