There is one.

It used to be Sounder. Then Clement Lefevre's comments about Mint not
to be used by anyone anti-Palestine caused a political bunfight.
Canonical closed it down (a bad move, IMHO.)

Most of the community moved to a new list called the Bikeshed.
However, one member kept spamming it (like their own Teo En
"Turritopsis Dornii" Ming). They couldn't persuade him to stop, so
they all quite and moved to a 3rd one, named ``rm -rf /``.

I left in 2016 after Trump got elected -- some turned out to be
Incel-type MAGA-heads, others turned out to be gun-totin'
pro-Trumpians, but whatever, they kept ranting and shouting about
"SJWs" and "snowflakes" and all that kind of objectionable rubbish. I
had enough and quit. I added a handful of people as friends on other
sites.
