Behold and beware as I say things that are politically inconvenient and uncivil until inevitably I am yet again sealed for another hundred years for daring to question the unquestionable and having the balls to defend my beliefs openly and honestly!
Rejoice, as the forum you came to enjoy degenerates into the same madness that befell /r/Kotakuinaction2!
Make comments about women's role in the downfall of civilization? Banned.
Make interesting but schizo-fueled OP posts that get mass engagement? Banned.
Make jokes about historical events that must not be joked about? Banned.
Rule 16 was and is an abomination and must be fixed. There is no sitewide rule requiring these stringent adherences to communistic speech conventions.
Half-assed optics will not save this place from a purge if the powers that be so desire for it.
All we accomplish by limiting our discussions into spartan molds of "acceptable speech" is creating avenues for degenerate drivel to take root in the gaps between linguistic interpretation.
Good, honest discussion by legitimate users is currently being stymied. Multiple high profile users have copped sudden bans for speech that was previously acceptable. This is an unarguable point.
EDIT: LMAO I got instantly banned. DoM lay the fuck off the ban button bro you're becoming just like pinkerbelle.
Imagine asking a man a question you know he can't respond to publicly because you literally just finished banning him? 🤣
This is what I was banned for two weeks ago.
AoV's comment is still up and he's yet to be banned for any of his ridiculous statements. Bans only go in one direction, even though the rationale used precludes that both parties be banned.
This is what I was banned for today.
I broke no rules either time.
I say again, beware. The janny is turning into another brimshae/pinkerbell/davidme.
See you all in a month when I'll point out again that DoM is slowly becoming everything he fought against in making this escape boat, and again get instantly banned for it.
✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
You're killing your site.
People have also told me I'm killing the site by allowing the stuff I'm NOT banning.
I think the site is going to be okay.
People with sites think that, but once you're commonly recognized as a censorship site, the demographics begin to reflect that.
I suppose whether or not that's a good thing depends on the purpose of the site.
I actually think that letting National Socialists squat can be a real problem for growth, as they are likely to make whatever place they inhabit basically too uncomfortable for normal people to inhabit, while they also harass everyone who disagrees with them, and turn themselves into a boring one-trick pony.
If all you do is scream about the Jews, and then call someone a Jew when they disagree with you, you are going to be so inhospitable to be around that everyone's going to avoid you like the plague.
I mean, hell, if it weren't a problem, Voat and Poal would have taken off and replaced reddit by now.
Instead, Poal actually insulates itself by having it's users basically hurl racial epithets to begin with on the welcome page, as a form of gatekeeping. And sure, it works to gatekeep people, but it also gatekeep everyone but Nazis. However, where VOAT went truly off the rails is that by allowing delusional racialist Leftists free reign, they went absolutely hog wild and basically destroyed the place by obsessing about Jews, and exerting social pressure on anyone who didn't toe the line.
Absolutely agree, there are places on the internet that offer good articles that I juddt don't even recommend anymore because of these people. Everything is the Jews fault for them. And like you said, they sperg out the moment you disagree with their views. Right now I got another clone of me(4 in total) because the retard got banned for breaking the only rule on the website(no blood on images). I'm for free speech, but I subscribe to the idea that people like them should be subjected to the laws and rules their ideology supports. After all, they censored everything under the sun . And thus they have to eat their own medicine.
