True. But if the vast majority of your userbase (cough voat cough) is calling everyone a NiggerFaggotRetard then the problem might not be the platform. It will be the users. SaidIt thankfully restricts and punishes personal attacks in Pyramid of Debate.
If SaidIt had dislikes then users like socks would be downvoted into oblivion. At the moment, everyone who hasnt outright blocked him just call him a filthy shill and point out how wrong he is. This is much more productive than memory holing his opinions.

Disagree. "Platforms" provide a place to present your beliefs. With no other criteria, shills and trolls are free to present their lies and disinformation as facts.
