Like old school reddit, people do say inflammatory things to get reactions but usually get downvoted. There are also good tools for muting people.
* EnoughTransgenderSpam: Transgender ideology makes no sense.
* SimpsInAction: Simp - A man who foolishly overvalues and defers to a woman, putting ...
* JustBeWhite: A place to discuss racial dynamics in the dating market.
* JewishQuestion: This community is dedicated to discussing and exposing Jewish control...
* SoyBoys

This is fresh air?
What finally made me quit was a post of a meme involving Kamala Harris in a non-political section which was one of the most upvoted things I'd seen on the site, yet the meme itself was childish and racist.
I dislike censorship, but if the initial source of people visiting a site which has these anti moderation policies are low quality, good luck climbing out of that hole. Smart people are attracted to smart people, so your initial userbase is paramount. This isn't a condemnation of all on ruqqus, but the majority are looking for a right wing echo chamber.
The site is nowhere near as bad as voat, but give it a little time, it'll get there.
If you want something to grow, you have to invest in it.
