Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We’re really concerned about Threads and that’s a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?
I’m pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it’s been forced into a bunch of people’s feed.
If not that’s fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?
Voat was founded to be free speech maximalist relative to Reddit. Basically the only subreddits Reddit ever banned that weren’t bigots or pedophiles were r/shoplifting because corpos don’t like being stolen from and r/chapotraphouse to present an appearance of impartiality when banning r/thedonald.
When someone online bemoans a lack of free speech, you have to ask, “free speech to say what?” in much the same tone as you might ask, “states’ rights to do what?”
