    I love steam. but something you need to realize is, the community is just gamer facebook.

    every idiot, shitposter, racist, bigot, propagandist, and cousin-fucker is on there and outside of a few specific cases, allowed to say whatever they want.

      Better to compare it to gab than Facebook. Steam community supports and allows way worse shit than Facebook because they have no advertisers who will pull out if the site is crawling with Nazis.

      I saw someone saying literal Nazi shit and it never got taken down 😬

        one of the worst ones, for a game I still somewhat care about is Arma 3

        the community section and to some extent the workshop, have become a free speech zone for russian fascist war propaganda.
