That's literally every platform. There's no nazi-or-not test to take before you're allowed to use any of them. All platforms allow varying degrees of racist rhetoric ranging from dogwhistles to death threats and I'm not aware of a single platform that doesn't have racists in healthy numbers.
I think a better definition of a far-right platform would be found in its intended audience or in the percentage of racist users/content.
