Whatever. Unless it's carefully moderated (ie., censored, to some) it will gather a large collection of angry right-wing posters or angry left-wing posters. One side will harass the other and the other side will eventually go elsewhere. Then it will be just another echo chamber.

If the creator has pivoted to the alt-right, it's a pretty sure guess that it will wind up being another 8chan/stormfront/what have you.

You could bubble them. Left folk who don't like right wing folk only see left people, right folk who don't like left wink folk in their own bubble.

Let people see who they want to see, but if they & enough of their friends say "don't show me X" then don't show them X.
