'ex-4chan users' isn't really an important criteria, especially if you're including the people posting there before 2016. In fact, some hobby boards like /co/, /mu/ and /lit/ were notoriously left-wing. "Ex-" usually means the ones who were smart enough to leave.
But furthermore, calling Mastodon a white supremacist site is just funny. Might as well be saying that about Lemmy.
yes, mastodon absolutely has a white supremacy problem.
and so does lemmy.
Also, ex- 4channers and fascists we have found don't necessrily give up the language or ideas from it once they have left, no matter how 'smart' they were.
Both people online and offline we have met that were fash in some way have a certain energy and way of speaking to them that we find disgusting and offputting a lot of the time.
If you look at our comments we made it pretty clear that all of fedi is like that, including lemmy.
