The users are so biased at this point that nobody with differing opinions will even want to use the site anymore,

Thats kind of how I feel about phuks. But here I am!

Everyone has biases. But here I don't get downvoted or harassed for having the 'wrong' opinion.
I think I have disagreed politically with everyone here at some point.
But I was never downvoted for it, and they usually engaged in, at least somewhat, productive debate.

I don't use phuks much, but go look at my submissions.

The one anti leftist post, one of my first posts here: +0, -5.

Link your dissenting opinion not getting buried, b/c I'm curious.

As you say, everyone is biased. It's true.

Here's the most recent example

I couldn't find any downvoted comments in your history, but I'll take your word for it. I had not seen anything like that. It doesn't usually happen. The only downvoted submissions I can remember seeing were either spam, or intentionally offensive. Meaning someone being a dick, not just having an unpopular opinion.

Don't get me wrong though. I'm not trying to claim it's perfect here, or there aren't assholes. I'm here, so it does have flaws.

Edit: I'll send the first paragraph that was here via PM: probably a discussion better had in private.

Like voat, this is some manner of reddit-like site: ordering content by voting is appealing to users. My content on voat and yours here might end up being less visible for those too lazy to look, but I think having the opportunity to make our case as much as anyone else is what matters if we accept this style of website.
