Mine is hands down - KiwiFarms.
They have gained a reputation as, rightfully, a hate forum. A forum where its userbase has not and will not grow out of their edgy teenager phase, thinking Hitler/Stalin is awesome and have ‘humorous’ spins on controversial issues.
They are responsible for being linked to a handful of suicides. Even services like Cloudflare have dropped them from protection.
Reddit is only bad because it is horribly mismanaged (simply because Spez doesn’t care and loves to profit off of his chaos). But KiwiFarms is bad because they are a unified bunch of hate-filled people with the sole goal of spreading hell and misery on people they don’t like if you so much gaze in their direction.
They pride themselves in free speech in that, they will use racial slurs and slang. Any word of course not allowed to be said on the surface web and even the fediverse, they’re going to use. That’s probably the only thing I even remotely agree with them on, is that censorship on the internet has grown very overboard and it is relieving to use some words unpunished whereas you’re moderated and/or banned in moments for using some words.
I just don’t approve of the spamming of racial slang/slurs though.
But man, talk about a bunch of riled up angry teenagers who’ve gotta take their anger and mischief out on the world simply because they never amounted to anything in life.
I agree with your points but I disagree with your belief that all of them are shit. I’m in some to follow some small youtuber because I keep not getting notified of their be uploads (I’ve been following Etho’s Lab for over a decade and watched every single upload of his as soon as possible since then but youtube still doesn’t show me his videos), an artist server to catch their latest drawings and go hang out with other people who like his art and nargacuga in general as well as some friend servers to play games and share memes. I literally just got out of a call I was for about 4 to 5 hours with my friend as I played one game and they played another until enough people got together to continue playing R.E.P.O.
Discord has its horrible servers, but you can def find some good places to hang out, you just have to avoid the absolutely gigantic ones with hundreds of people, but even then you can get good ones. Etho’s fan server is big but I’ve always had a great time there. The labrats one is another that I’ve had a great time sharing my horrible lab stories with and gotten good tips back. Discord is not too different from other social networks, if you don’t curate it right, you will get a lot of shit, but if you manage to get it right it can be great
