And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

My recollection is that Voat took a turn into being fascist Reddit 2.0 pretty quickly itself.

Turns out when you build a platform around anti-censorship you wind up with a small number of free speech enthusiasts and a large number of people who will be banned from any site with rules against hate speech.

Then when you have a site where 80% of the content is racism the 20% non racists leave.

Voat was so fucking toxic. Radioactive hate swamp.
