There was a little website called ruqqus that emerged for a while. It was mostly people fleeing reddit so it quickly filled with "far right" and "far left" extremes, but that kinda made it interesting. However after only a few months of having to moderate the creator noped out because no human should have to see the things a moderator of a public web forum would have to see.

Its going to be a tough road for anyone who wants to create a public web forum at any scale especially if they get brigaded.

Before the migration from Digg, reddit was full of libertarians. Actually, same with Digg, in 2003.
