    What are they referring to here exactly? Multiplayer games? Steam friends’ list? I have never at any point ever experienced extremist content on Steam; I use it as a convenient location to buy games. It’s a retail shop, not a social media site.

      Click on the community tab. There’s forums and shit there. There’s a shit ton of blatant racist shit, including people using highly offensive slurs and ascii art swastikas and stuff. It’s fucking disgusting.

        I’ve never clicked on this, and I have no desire to do so. Why does Steam even have a community tab? When I go on Amazon and purchase a spool of Cat6, I’m not in the slightest bit interested in Amazon community about networking. I just want the shit I paid for in a semi-reasonable time. If I buy a game on Steam, I just want to receive and enjoy the product I paid for. If I want to talk about it with other people, I’ll come to Lemmy.

        I don’t even touch steam community because all it is is swastikas and Nazis. You’d think it’s the Odysee or Rumble or Twitter of gaming at that point
