Better to compare it to gab than Facebook. Steam community supports and allows way worse shit than Facebook because they have no advertisers who will pull out if the site is crawling with Nazis.
As a general rule, Steam itself doesn’t moderate their forums - game forums are moderated by the dev/publisher or whoever they designate, and user communities are moderated by whoever runs that community or whoever they designate, barring content that is actually illegal in the US (like CP) which Steam will actually take action on. Steam will rarely moderate user profiles, but only if it’s extremely egregious.
Well generally I’m referring to the Steam Forums and reviews, but you’re right they don’t moderate game pages, and most game Devs aren’t attentive enough to do it themselves or limit the pages to customers of the game if not lock them entirely. It’s a very bad combination.
