People still use Ruqqus?

Apparently. I looked at Ruqqus recently and there seemed to be users. Even that commie Hexbear site had 700 the other day.

Seems to be lots of racist kids. Diogenesjunior started a guild there not long ago, and some of these kids think he's a Redditor who is up to no good (which must make him laugh).

How could a conscious person not be racist? That would be like failing to be breedist towards canines. There are physical and mental differences between different human races, and different breeds of dogs. The same goes for all animal species, and pretty much all life forms.

Yes - we all have 'implicit biases' or 'unconscious bias' that includes racisism, and those who complain abour racism against themselves are sometimes from groups of people who have some of the worst implicit biases, and in some cases racism (eg. South Asia, China, Japan, etc. etc). In practice, this can further marginalize underrepresented groups and work against an inclusive society. Some people want to combat cultural relativism, but this also converts unconscious bias to conscious bias, and creates diision in society. Alt-right news media and others want to create this division, which creates chaos and anger in society, and results in more votes for Authoritarians and Republicans who are seen as the least tolerant of the chaos, whereas they are at the root of its cause.

I don't know anyone who uses Ruqqus exclusively. They're like 9gag, kinda background noise.

Yeah, because that's where everyone is. I mean, unless you want to go back to reddit, which...yeah.
