That is the trick. Alternative sites have a balancing act. On one hand, they want to support free speech. But on the other hand, they don't want to become a cesspool that are only visited from the literal neo-Nazis ejected from other sites. I don't think Voat's quite that bad, but it does have a lot of "edgybois" who think it's fun and hip to call everyone the n-word. Those types of idiots shouldn't be banned, but too many of them also can really kill a site's adoption.

Curious. What is up with the go-to of bad online personalities being Neo-Nazi's? I think the far left (reddit) has been the most malignant, nasty, and oppressive personalities that I have run into.

People have been taught that Nazis are the most evil thing you can be, not that being a Stalinist/Communist/Marxist is equally or more evil in many instances. They default to Nazi = worst evil because of the lack of knowledge about Marixsm and Stalinism.

TBF, the Nazis were kind of cunts.

Fair enough but from what I hear, that Stalin guy was a real jerk.

He changed. OK with the Nazis, a cunt afterwards.
Russian history is a rabbit-hole, expect no sanity there.

I can tell you also that I have met very few actual outright "neo nazis" in my time online and FAR more out and proud "communists" and "marxists".
Just anecdotal

You need better friends. Neither should be an option.

"met" is a loose term, I was mostly referencing online users. Unfortunately it seems communism and marxism are far more publicly acceptable and more people I know are trending towards them.

They certainly were evil, but we don't get taught just how evil the Communists are.
