It's almost like this kind of thing does not exist. Just go to 8chan or whatever it is called now. You will want to pour Clorox in your eyes. Feel free - enjoy "free speech".

The Internet was actually LESS free back in the day, in the sense that we hung out on tightly moderated Perl CGI discussion boards, where idiots and trolls were not tolerated. Usenet was great too, without moderation, as it required one to be pretty technical to get there.
