I used to go on Fark like 20 years ago and granted I didn't care much about politics back then but it seemed like a cool place where middle-aged office workers hung out and talked about random stuff, free from the children of other forums. There were differing opinions and they even used to have IRL meetups that looked genuinely fun.
Cut to 2021, and it's turned into a low-IQ, TDS-obsessed r/politics seethefest, full of posts with unironic titles like:
-
Trump cultists launch bioterrorism attack on a mall (because a bunch of people didn't wear masks in a shopping centre)
Are there any places left online where politics hasn't ruined the community? The Register is mostly jaded middle-aged British IT workers and it tends to avoid politics, but then it's not really a community as it's just comments in news stories rather than a forum.

What always happens. Money. You can't sell advertising if your users make politically incorrect jokes. So then the very funny people leave. Median iq normies pile in. The marginally funny also can't take it and leave. Now it's a safe space for the terminally offended.

I only remember Fark for two things:
sometimes funny photoshop threads
the shit posting Terri plug pull
Frick, it was so long ago. Life well wasted, laughing at r-slurs while being r-slurred.

Good memories, Fark was one of the pioneers of memes too. I remember nearly pissing myself laughing the first time I saw https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/aRjqM7B_700b.jpg in a comment thread there. And then you had mustard guy, centipedes, is this a UFO?...

What's the story surrounding the "UFO" picture?

Ah, good times. My favorite was probably the user Tatsuma, single handedly keeping Israel from the harm of disparaging words.

OJ and mustard guy are classics. And of course, Squirrel Nuts. I see all the archives are up, maybe I'll take a peek later, unearth some stupid arguments from the past.
Fuck, I forgot it was the different Internet back then, so much dead

There is absolutely nowhere on Reddit (except maybe The Great Awakening) where stupider, sadder, scareder, or crazier comments consistently get upboats and support than this place you linked. You might think, Hey look! A place where women aren't all sucking
peen! Weird! But then you find out that they are scared of 
peen, and believe that in a couple years, women who don't assimilate and get a peen themselves will be locked up in suspended cages, let down from their gibbets only to be repeatedly viciously r*ped and denied STEM jobs.
That place is like r/drama if everyone here felt scared for their lives, and could only find possibly recourse in demanding mayocide and bussy. Swap our memes for 'white-female ethnosexstate now' and 'kill all men before they kill all women' and you have a pretty fair idea of their topics.
And that's where it gets interesting: they're unironically probussycide, unironically antifemayocide. Truly, r/drama has its antithesis.
And believe me: it is dangerous.
