Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

They're a bunch of tankies who dogpile, sealion, and brigade at basically any opportunity.

They literally have a community on their website dedicated to shitting on people they disagree with while having rules that require you to provide a link to them and not having a rule against interacting unless it's with instance admins. They'll defend it saying it's not for brigading but it's obvious what it's for. "This isn't for brigading," then doesn't condemn brigading when it happens.
