Am I welcome? (OR: A Stupid Question, By A Noob)

posted by ThisIsTest on AskPhuks

I'm one of those rare gems who don't fit in anywhere.

Then again, ain't we all?

I'm too liberal for the conservatives, too conservative for the liberals, too extreme for the moderates, too moderate for the extremists. The term "radical centrist" is a tad too radical for my tastes. I can't truly pick a side except my own, but I make a decent "devil's advocate" according to my high school Oral Comm teacher. And I probably have a bit of a messiah complex.

Not of organized religion, nor am I an atheist. Both seem pretentious to me. Rather, I see energy and matter as a fluid force, beyond our silly human concepts of science and religion. Nothing inherently wrong with scientific inquiry or religious observance, I simply refuse to believe the word of any animal can fully be trusted. And we humans are just another animal. We may think ourselves the superior species, but some cats and dogs may feel the same way.

Enough about me though.

My question(s):

Where does Phuks fit in between Rabble and Voat? I like the general format of Reddit-type sites, but the community itself never really appealed to me. Or rather, I never appealed to them, being myself and all. More importantly, how is the censorship/moderation on this site? I know I could just lurk around instead of asking all this, but making an account is easy enough, and this is a much better litmus taste for my purposes. Oops, I mean test. Test, not taste. Heh.

Most importantly of all:

Is this the right place to post this?

EDIT: I think it only polite to explain exactly why something is downvoted. Can't change bad behavior if you don't know what to change, y'know? I'm guessing it's the turnips.

I think you'll enjoy it here, most of us used those sites and, speaking for myself, this is a much more laid back community who don't get off on drama like those other sites.

As far as moderation/censorship goes there is a TOS we abide by so the hosting company doesn't fuck the site over (don't burn the spot essentially). However mods can decide what they want for their subs as you can see with /s/SoapDoxBanHammer

As far as censorship goes the general consensus is don't be an autist, most people can make a point with being that guy at the bus station shouting at people while directing invisible traffic with his penis.

Anyway, poke around, judge for yourself.

Damn, and I just so happen to be an autist! Probably. I honestly thought of crossposting things on Voat and Rabble, just because, but Voat isn't accepting new members. And Rabble alone doesn't seem worth it.
