That's great if you can trust the moderation/censorship team to use a rational definition of bigotry. But what usually happens is they begin to enforce the standards of an ever-closing Overton window, to the point that mere disagreement with the hive mind is considered bigotry.
The limits of discourse never stay "this far out". Moderation distills this enforced consensus into a weird, unhinged fanaticism, one "deviant" at a time.
