Maybe to an extent, but at least we have content here that isn't purely political. As soon as the election campaign ramped up, all content on Voat started to revolve around politics.
Depends on what your subbed to. I blocked a lot of political subs.
I like both places. This community is just a slice of the voat community though. Most people here seem to use both
I blocked /v/news and /v/politics ages ago. It became an issue in subs that had nothing to do with politics though. /v/ModernPowers, for example, became really difficult to moderate as a direct result of heavily biased users with an alternate view of history starting to play.
Some users probably use Voat, but I think the first group/wave that split off and made Phuks has stopped using it pretty much entirely. I like to look at the frontpage a couple of times a week, or whenever there is an incident like the Charlottesville attack to see their take on it. I respond to pings/messages there, but other than that I don't post/comment anymore.
Thats kind of how I feel about phuks. But here I am!
