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.
Pretty much any Steam game’s forum is full of nasty toxic fans.
I don’t know it’s the worst, but the phoronix (a Linux news site) forums is an absolute mind numbing concoction of shite. The people there seemingly get activated over some keywords and begin puking in the comment section with no moderation
LinkedIn
Full of HR and “ass kissers” glorifying the work class exploitation as a “way of life”. Pure sewage.
Not as bad but still quite terrible are probably the steam forums. There are some systems in there that literally encourage and reward saying the most stupid/offensive shit, and with a very lax moderation it’s just a complete mess.
Obvious one? Twitter. Youtube comments are pretty awful, and a secret third one, steam community comments. LORD they are so awful. Full of bots/people who just have awful takes or argue over the most benign shit
The internet. We’d probably all be bettered off if we avoided it.
I’m gonna say FunnyJunk. It’s mostly right wing memes and downvotes if you say anything close to “I don’t think this Trump gut has it all figured out”
It’s hard to beat KiwiFarms tbh. Like, you basically have to name a CSAM channel or something. They’re fucked up.
Yeah maybe 8chan? Or those neonazi telegram groups that exist to incite terrorism
thinking Hitler/Stalin is awesome
Guy who did the holocaust versus guy who stopped the holocaust. These are not the
unless you’re pretty stupid.deleted by creator
Only one I can think of that’s not on government terror registries is Rumble. Dunno if it’s just livestreaming or general video hosting, but it’s mostly klansmen, nazis, and anyone banned from twitch for being creeps
JD moon face is a major investor in Rumble.
pr0gramm.com, German incel IT/gamer guy site
I don’t know if I would call it an incel site. Isn’t it just generally “edgy” humor with an IT/nerd slant? Meaning they straddle the line between dog whistle racism and mysogeny and going full mask off.
That reminds me: 9gag
Oh 4chan, no question.
I clicked here to say Kiwi farms too.
Maybe I’m weird, but I don’t avoid any of them, I just take them for what they are, and some are total shit. That said, sometimes you’re looking for shit, so it makes sense to go to the shit farm.
You know what, scratch that, I avoid whitehouse.gov and foxnews.com.
hexbear.net, they’re really annoying
We can confirm, yep.
Yeah I swear, in previous fediverse communities I’ve been in, 9 times out of 10 the first few assholes I run across are from that instance.
