    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

      It was just reddit with a nicer interface but the exact same awful users. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to use it.

              it’s no different than calling an Italian a wop or a chink for an Asian.
