very tolerant of racist behavior

it seems that spam of racist articles is tolerated on this app but the moment someone criticizes it without using a single insult the post gets removed for “privacy concerns” ? there is zero option to appeal to top it off. but they’re allowed to talk about how race mixing is “white genocide” ??????? disgusting

Allows blatant racism

I reported a post that is racist and islamaphobic multiple times and stated the reason for the report. Mind you I’m not someone that’s even keen on reporting things often. The image was making fun of Gazans and insinuating that Muslims have sex with goats. I know it’s a common trope that some people might find funny, but it’s overall extremely poor taste and hateful. Seriously disappointed that Yik yak will at times remove posts and ban people over silly things, yet tolerate blatant racism simultaneously.
