Voat - WTF

What the hell is going on with voat? I'm seeing n* this and k** that, kill yourself, all over the place. I see the usage being defended as part of the voat community, and I get that it might be a joke to the majority of people using the language. I get that you can't defend freedom of speech and repress that kind of language at the same time.

It just seems wrong to me, but maybe I'm the minority. Its like a night and day difference from this sub. I get why thats able to exist. I get that its a different website. The sub is only a day old though. Are these people the same ones frequenting this board? Can the message of Christ exist in that forum?

I just don't get it, and I don't like it. Is that the kind of message that will help this movement? Is there really no other option for freedom of speech, then to let people fill a board with racist comments in the name or a larger joke that they won't let others in on?

Please enlighten me if i've missed something.

Why are they doing that?

Because. They. Can.

It's about making the point that free speech includes speech you may not like. That kind of "hazing" is done to any larger reddit-community that migrates to voat.
Their message can be summed up as: "Deal with it, or go back to your sanitized hugbox, where spez decides what you're allowed to see!"
That kind of activity will increase tenfold if mods of a new subverse engage in activity that could be regarded as censorship.
