As stated the article is from 2014 so I wonder how involved TBL is at this point. Second point, I signed up. I checked the open groups under news. Largest group under news? "100% True News For Patriots!" and "Breitbart News Outlet". Looks like a home for bots, trolls and the alt-right. I'll pass.

It's OK for people with different political views to use the same communications medium.

I browsed around a bit and don't fully agree; there appear to be quite a few legit/harmless interest groups. But also a pretty good sprinkling of, as you say, alt-right; for example under "atheism" one group (not the largest by a lot) is the "Anti-SJWs". Under "skepticism" the second-largest appears to be anti-vax excuse me skeptical about vaccinations.

Disappointed that I see no way to read a group's posts without joining the group.
