Is there a place on the internet that is appropriate for talking about politics?

> YouTube has been such ... over the last six months ... still talk about violence ... gather people into anti-government groups?
Sounds like YouTube wants to avoid "official disfavor".
I'd assume there are still plenty of such spaces, though without YouTube's scale and open registration. Perhaps some of your old acquaintances from YouTube would extend invitations to you?
I'd also assume that the NSA was keeping detailed records of your interests. And that the "action threshold" for official disfavor could change in ways that you don't expect. Especially if you live in the US.

Sounds like you'd benefit from a website who's share button is known as "retruthing"
Isn't that owned by a government official?
For me, disqus feels like the wildwest days sometimes. Sites like mediaite using disqus can be a real goldmine/minefield of back and forth on politics
There’s this site called Reddit that’s growing in popularity
Agreed, as long as you join the appropriate subreddit and follow the rules
They are well-known for too strict moderation, and they were first who used to invent a shadow-ban. I am afraid I cannot speak about Coronavirus or about regulating population of invasive species on Reddit.
You can say practically say anything on Reddit in my experience. You just have to phrase it politely enough, and that is an art you need to learn.
I've been on Lemmy communities for a while, most are left-aligned (e.g. solarpunk). Think of Lemmy as a federated alternative to Reddit. Of course, there are "tankies" and "right-wing" people. Sometimes we end-up commenting on the same thread and it turns out bad... but regardless of it, I think you may enjoy the experience. My recommendation would be to jump into a Lemmy fork, just like PieFed.social :) from there you can follow communities (subreddits) in bulk, thanks to the concept of "topics".

Internet communities are heavily censored if you want discuss anything that falls outside of mainstream centrist or conservative right-wing narratives. Try discussing left alternatives to capitalism on any of the major platforms. Shadow banned to the void. Even discussing industry centric unionization efforts and workers rights issues gets you zapped.
Are there any websites on the Internet where you can still talk about violence, proprietary software, coronavirus and gather people into anti-government groups? Please do not suggest places that require a phone number for registration.
