Can anyone explain in one sentence what Ruqqus is? Are there any radical (politically right or left wing) discussions? Is it comparable to reddit or 4Chan? We are running a few business apps on on Heroku and this is slightly worrying. On the other hand, isn't Heroku a really expensive choice if you are running a popular website with many users?

Based on the front page it looks like another place where /r/TheDonald ended up. Except even more radical. So far right wing political including what many would call hate speech, racism, etc.

It's comparable to 8Chan or Gab or Voat - it's a refuge for all the people who have been censored from places like 4Chan or Twitter or Reddit, and it turns out there's a reason why those folks get banned from such sites and when you get them all together in a room, predictable things happen. (This is one of the few examples of such sites showing technical competence, so I wouldn't put too much stock in their decision to go with Heroku, and I wouldn't worry about your own apps.)

  You can be censored from 4Chan? Wow!

    It's ironic but 4chan has quite a lot of moderation and bans and is also more pro-actively cooperative with law enforcement than other platforms like reddit, facebook etc. That last point might be why it has continued to survive.
