    Better to compare it to gab than Facebook. Steam community supports and allows way worse shit than Facebook because they have no advertisers who will pull out if the site is crawling with Nazis.

    I saw someone saying literal Nazi shit and it never got taken down 😬

      As a general rule, Steam itself doesn’t moderate their forums - game forums are moderated by the dev/publisher or whoever they designate, and user communities are moderated by whoever runs that community or whoever they designate, barring content that is actually illegal in the US (like CP) which Steam will actually take action on. Steam will rarely moderate user profiles, but only if it’s extremely egregious.

      one of the worst ones, for a game I still somewhat care about is Arma 3

      the community section and to some extent the workshop, have become a free speech zone for russian fascist war propaganda.
