Their tolerance of racism and bigotry was why I left
It seemed like every shitty person wanted to make it a far-right safe place
I'm glad it failed
It was just reddit with a nicer interface but the exact same awful users. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to use it.
centrists Ideals are a bit more subtle some what a ballance of chaos Haha.
There was once a reddit alternative, namely voat, that started normal and became the most alt right incel qanon thing imaginable. Here's a dataset with voat data and posts https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.05933v1

I had interactions with a few, and they were very much the typical, stupid, bigoted yank
haha
Is it a slur if these people are proud of it?
yes.
it's no different than calling an Italian a wop or a chink for an Asian.
Yes, the majority of those are all slurs.
Yank isn't a slur. You're just a racist.
first, all of those are slurs.
second, gaslighting doesn't work on me.
I'm not the piece of shit making excuses that yank isn't a slur.
It's crazy how little I value your opinion
you valued my opinion enough to respond. I'd say that's enough.
