Yeah, the vibe was definitely left-wing before, and it was a shock to many of the more prominent members. You started getting the appearance of subs which were “this is to discuss how Jews control all the money globally” and prominent members who avoided saying anything completely explicit on the site, but whose twitter accounts would reveal them to be prominent members of swastika-using Nazi groups.
The owner declared himself to be “a free speech absolutist” and that he wanted to promote conflict on the site and a lot of people, myself included, just went “yeah, I see where this is going” and left.
I’ve no idea if they’ve changed course again. I went there out of curiosity after this post but it’s all hidden behind a log in screen and i couldn’t be arsed to sign up or try to remember or find my credentials.
But since you don’t really want to hide your content if you’re small and trying to grow, I’m going to assume that it’s insular and doesn’t want people to stumble on its content.
