There was one called Homophobia that got like 50 members after being created like 10 minutes before. And of all things, a community about homophobia. With a drawing of a Confederate beating up gay people.

    That feels like the only explanation, especially for a community such as Homophobia when I’ve hardly ever encountered homophobic people. They were either trolls or banned almost immediately

      It’s not necessarily pro homophobia. If it is, people might join in order to report hateful content when it appears.

        Adding on to that, some communities with bigoted concepts in their name will be intentionally hijacked by anti-bigots to eliminate that community as an easy platform for bigots
