I guess I just assumed that that was commonly understood, As soon as I saw that it was going to be run according to Facebook’s moderation standards, I took that to mean that it was going to be tailored to suit white supremacists and Christian nationalists, like Facebook.
Back when I used facebook, I barely ever saw any bigots…mainly because I never went looking for that kind of content on any website I’ve ever been to.
The real reason why Facebook sucks is because they collect literally everything they can about your entire life, they look through your files on your local storage. And if you block any of their spying, they’ll want to see your ID and SSN.
There’s bigots on every platform. Have you ever read any youtube comment sections ever?
Your activity on this thread implies you have a vested interest in downplaying Facebook’s bias. I’m not sure why…
Anyway - of course there are bigots on every platform, and of every stripe for that matter. The internet has enabled bigotry on a scale never before imagined, and the steady slide of much of modern civilization, and the US and UK (and lately Canada) in particular, toward overtly corrupt overt plutocracy has left more people than ever desperate for some way to assure themselves that everything wrong with the world is somebody else’s fault, which makes bigotry a growing enterprise.
But while bigotry is ever-present, each individual site has its own expressed bias for the particular forms it’s more or less likely to at least tolerate, if not actively encourage.
And Facebook’s expressed bias is toward white supremacism and Christian nationalism.
That’s what I expected from the start.

Your inference is wrong. Facebook is terrible.
