Once the baconreader app developer stated it would stop due to API nonsense I left.
I tried another one called something like Squabbles* for a few months and really liked it, then the owner of that site decided that the racists and nazis that were joining were allowed to say what they wanted.
There were a lot of trans, gay etc, and non whites on that site who tried to reason with the owner but ultimately left due to the hostilities. The place went downhill fast and about a week later I left. It may be far better now.
I only go on Reddit now if I'm looking for info on the PC and one of the links is from there. However most of the time it doesn't give me any real info, usually it's just lots of people having the same issue I was searching an answer for.
Edit: it was called Squabbles, not Squiggles
Edit 2 Electric Boogaloo. Squabbles seems to have died a death, and I'm not surprised tbh.
Another site tried to do that years ago, Voat, and like your story, died as a free speech absolutist Nazi hell hole.
I remember that, I signed up for Voat and poked around a bit but it was empty and boring
