I'm genuinely curious and wanting to understand what makes you feel that way.

Are you colorblind and the colors of the text are hard to read? They weren't very readable on light mode but I wouldn't call that political

Is it the mastodon instance? The overall peppy feel of the page?

If you're not colorblind, you may notice the rainbow progression of navlinks under the title. Then there's the choice to include pronouns as a special data item in the markdown, and the specific choice of "they/them" in the example, even though that's probably much rarer than the two more traditionally-expected choices. Then, of course, there's the affiliation with a Mastodon instance; we're all aware of the developer's politically-motivated choices and limits on federation with the main Mastodon instances.

Is "burning crosses" over-the-top? Yes, obviously. Does it say, "You're not the kind of social we have in mind," to a sizable portion of potential users? Yes again.

You're so hard done by.

It's nice, playful, and youthful branding.

how's the water?

Odd that you reply to me with a bitterly ironic link, yet not to the other commenter. Have a nice day, you need it.

The other comment was not posted in good faith.

it's bait

by the way, I posted that link sincerely.

It screams "everyone is welcome here."

"...as long as you agree with us about everything"

As long as you agree not to shit on other people's identities, which should be a given.

What if it's a false identity?

> agree not to shit on other people's identities

I believe you mean, "agree with me on gender and sexuality". When you take away the tendentious wording, it's a lot less clear that it "should be a given."

"Peoples identities" is a relatively new concept, and certainly still a political topic. Do you really not see the political undertones?
