This website is growing, and unlike Voat, and hasn't been overran with racist schills/bots/sockpuppets plus maybe a few actual racists. So, this website is shaping up to be fairly promising. And unlike Reddit, no there isn't any brigading or mass flagging, at least not yet. So right, I'm actually finding this site to be more enjoyable than Reddit.

That Voat statement is spot on. I feel pretty confident the posters are attempting to be edgy....... and yet I feel like I need to take a shower after perusing the site.

Nice username !

I mean, it's not that I don't kinda like Voat. But then again, I don't get offended by much of anything. And one of the sad realities of the Internet is that edgy, rough, and vulgar sites tend to have a better view of what's going on than the sanitized, censored, and politically correct sites do. To Quote: "I speak the saddest words of tongue and pen, Now I know, /pol/ was right again".

It's actually done to protect free speech. Every time there's a new influx of people on voat the old goats (me included) start a bit of hazing.

Once we get rid of the people who think they like free speech until they get called a 'kike nigger" as a term of endearment.. Then the conversation goes back to normal.

It's militant free speech. I just ignore it, generally.
