voat became what it is today because of what reddit did after pao.

I don't know if you were their during that whole fiasco but average redditors flocked over their in droves to the point where their servers crashed for like 2 weeks and they returned back to reddit and the ones who couldn't remained and that is what you see today. they took over to the point where the owner just gave up on it and they retaliated and banned against anyone "normal".

and you see what reddit has became today because of "pao's" censorship.(pao may have been more of a scapegoat in order for reddits implementation)

Yes, but voat also stood by while they let neonazis take over the site, and we don't intend for the same to happen here

How will you go about ensuring that neonazis and the like don't "take over" Saidit?

By enforcing the pyramid of debate. Turns out neo-nazis are usually pretty terrible at arguing their points in a calm rational respectful way, if voat is any indication.
