One look at the front page (unmuted) and comments reveals it’s clear this site needs all the help it can get. The flip side of the censorship coin is offensive, intolerant, anti-social, paranoid conspiracy ramblings that repel most people. I’ve been told to go back to reddit but all sites appear to be wards of a mental institution.

That was my first impression as well. But thinking back on 4chan there was always a bunch of insane or racist comments you had to scroll through. I think Reddit just made me used to not encounter differing viewpoints or ramblings. It takes some re-adjustment to get back into ignoring the shitposting, but ultimately, I think the benefit of free speech by far outweighs the inconveniences. ...especially considering how little diversity is actually left on Reddit.
