Facebook is by-and-large not meant for the streaming of terrorist acts or pushing of white supremacist agendas. 4chan and 8chan (at least /pol/, /k/, and maybe /r9k/) are heavily based around this, and the main subvoats (is that what they're called?) are purely right wing propaganda. The right wing crap leaks a lot onto the other boards of 4chan as well, even the worksafe boards. Which is unfortunate because some of them aren't bad.
Maybe if people want freedom of speech they shouldn't use it to incite racist acts of terrorism.

They call them subverses. Man I miss old Voat. During the fatpeoplehate banning is when I first went there and it wasn't so bad. Very different now though.

Well, right-wing propaganda is allowed, but I think the difference here is no downvotes. If someone believes that stuff and they see posts against it they can't punish the poster by dragging their karma down. Also, they are expected to ignore the post unless they are able to debate in a respectable way.
For instance, I'm very pro-science. I see there is a climate skeptics sub and I just ignore it since I completely disagree with it, but I'm not looking to debate them. I may at some point post something about climate change, or pro-vaccine, or pro-gmo somewhere, but I don't have to worry about getting downvoted into oblivion for doing so.

This is the Pyramid of Debate.

Also, given time we'll get more subs so hopefully people go where they want to be and debate what they feel comfortable debating.
