I have been on Quora to ask some questions about society and things that I can't seem to understand, but my naivety has gotten me into trouble with random psychopathic and abusive users. The site has an issue with racism and promoting racist viewpoints. Racist answers with clear white supremacist undertones get the most likes for whatever reason. Calling them out can get you in trouble with the mods, because they highly favor white supremacist content. Oftentimes random people will leave a snarky answer on your question that isn't helpful and serves to bully you in front of the whole community. On the opposite side you have "leftists" that pretend to fight for civil rights and pretend to be for social justice, but in reality they get really nasty with you because you're introverted, have poor social skills or neurodiverse (autism, adhd, PTSD). So these "civil rights warriors" have underlying ableism that you can't call them out on because of silencing by blocking and reporting you. Surprise surprise, most of these fake sjws are located in California! The flakiest and phoniest state in the entire country. There is also a large issue with xenophobia, too many users will think that they're somehow "better" because they're American or always push the fact that the USA is always the "best country" which is more of a personal opinion, but these kinds of people bully others who disagree with them. They also get a lot of upvotes for saying the most horrible ish. Mods love them! But don't you dare criticize the country or military for ANY reason. Not to mention the dirt flinging and toxicity on the topics of religion vs atheism and conservative vs liberal. It's just a shouting match full of slurs and insults, forget about a civil disagreements or respect. I've seen people refer to native americans as "primitives", people saying that black people or other POC incapable of inventing anything (civilizations, tools, electronics, etc), people blaming autism on the child and "feeling sorry" for the parents, dog worship culture, unsolicited pornography, victim blaming, child abuse, misogyny, apathy for the environment, etc, and the mods seem to be ok with it! The mods have allowed a once civil and educational website to turn into a dumpster fire by accommodating to former Yahoo Answers, 4Chan, Reddit and Stormfront users. YOU are the one who gets punished for calling these people out. It's toxic, hate filled, anxiety inducing and bad for mental health. Unfortunately I don't believe that there are any better Q and A websites at the moment that are moderated well.
