This comment doesn't deserve downvotes. I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a good alternative without much success.

This comment isn't using these labels incorrectly - the people on most of the alternatives post blatantly anti-Semitic and/or legitimately racist content (not ambiguously or twitter-classified racism, but full-on, hard-R et al, good old fashioned racism), anti-vaxxer mobs, doxxing, calls to violence, etc.

And yes, much of the time this sort of content is the majority.

Can't someone take one for the team and set up a place to absorb all of this? It's no fun trying to hang out with someone who's grinding the same old axe every day, especially if it's some lame anti-whoever diatribe.

I don't mind people having whatever views or even irrational and harmful biases, as long as they don't shoehorn them into everything they say. I'm happy to have an interesting discussion with someone who stays on topic and says interesting things, it doesn't matter to me (right then) if I wouldn't think much of other aspects of their life. You don't have to "bring your whole self" to hn or new-reddit or wherever else.
