I love the fact that people with different opinions are all allowed here.

SaidIt is not full free speech because of the pyramid of debate and the desire to "not become voat" (see /s/holocaustskepticism).

It's certainly better than reddit right now though.

I too like that there are people from all different sides here, I might actually gasp learn to talk to people with differing opinions and incentives again.

I do think it could be something special.

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.

To be fair, there are people equally racist and shitty on the left (aka ChapoTrapHouse and BLM), but there's not really a catch all term for them. Communists maybe? Identitarians? Historically, communists have murdered a lot more people than the Nazis ever did, but a lot of functional communists don't really embrace the term.

Communists murdered homosexuals and them you have people here saying that communists embrace perversion such as pedophilia. Sorry but, if anything commies push it to ideologically subvert a foreign nation, corporations probably do it to keep people apathetic and consumer happy.
