@realcaseyrollins Yeah I would say most of the people I meet here are fine, but every once in a while you come across someone with a swastika as a profile pic or sharing an overtly racist meme, it is a problem that this instance has and there's no good way to fix it without banning users, which goes against the free speech principles of the instance.
@haxonek If you look hard you can find a lot, esp. those with a ton of followers.
@realcaseyrollins I suppose I should add antisemitism is particularly bad, although if I’m honest I’ve muted a lot of people so I just don’t see that type of stuff much anymore. I’d believe it if there are some dark parts of Gab though
@realcaseyrollins Since the researchers are no doubt boomers they'll probably be looking at the rest of Fedi too. Or at least, the small chunk of Fedi that Gab doesn't remove from it's public timelines @a
