I tried using the site and used it for a while, for what little non political and non flame war content it had. It got boring. I don't particularly like some of the UX decisions and features, but overall it is a pretty well built piece of software. I don't believe ruqqus federates, so "instance" would be the wrong word. It's a standalone server.
Well, pretty much to be expected. Saw that lots of subs that got banned attempted to move to Ruqqus, but they never gain any traction. Reddit as a platform is just far too convenient - lots of people won't visit an entirely new website for just one sub in their feed.
Is it possible to create a free speech reddit alternative that doesn't immediately turn into a right wing extremist site? My mind immediately turns to the Paradox of Tolerance, and I think the answer is no.
Yes, that's lemmy.ml
Even lemmy as software was not in favour of free-speach for the period they had that famous(ish) forbidden words filter in the default build.

If you're interested in a federated Reddit clone, check out Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
I like it, but in particular I think some UX design that apply to reddit and any other centralized link aggregator don't make sense in a federated system, multi communities on one server are fine but the way they're implemented in Lemmy is too Reddit like to be fully useful in a federated network.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You explicitly upgraded the terrorism connotation to being part of the meaning by using it to draw a distinction between the two words categorical referents. Instead I think you should have directly questioned whether the connotation of violence was part of the point you were responding to.
Okay so would you like the criteria for all site's users to be a "connotation of violence" to meet the extremist threshold? That is even looser than wishing death and would cover many more communities. Let's clear things up by a simple question: How do you define "extremist"?
I'm not really sure what you mean by:
