I'm concerned that I'm actually loosing IQ points from my time over there, but I can't seem to stop myself returning.

Anyone else?

i check back regularly to keep my finger on the pulse of redneckbeard america but i've been done interacting with the loony bin directly for a while. i find it kinda inspiring that some dumbasses can still think that there is some "storm" about to hit and that some random dude on 4chan is a valid source.

john titor would be proud.

Next QAnon post:

Clouds. They're fluffy.

Pyramids. Spaghettios. What do they have in common?

Don't tenderize my meat.

There is too much bread at the reptile exhibit.

I don't know where you live, but voat is in no way shape or form representative of what the rednecks of America are like or what they think.

I would challeng you to visit the south and get to know some actual rednecks in small towns.

note the redneckbeard. i know they arent rednecks, they are just neckbeards who push redneck ideas to their extreme.

I check the top posts occasionally, but rarely log in since they ramped up the already heavy censorship.

Is the hivemind showing flexibility or internal debate on any issue?

I tried to debate with someone about letting people run their own subs however they want.

This apparently makes me a Rabbi and I'm trying to "trick" him.

I'm interested in the gist of your argument - as I think there should be limits on letting mods do whatever they want with subs.

Maybe I'll start calling you Rabbi in a few comments time...

My argument was that freedom applies to everyone. For the rules that everyone expects on Voat, you get that with default subs. If it is not a default sub, it can do whatever it wants. This gives users the freedom to continue to use the sub, or to go to another sub.

If its not default, they can do whatever they want. If they censor the shit out of everything, everyone is free to make an alternative and not support the censorship.

I tried debating that with PV maybe 30+ times. I never was called a Jew though, just SRS.

Earlier today there were some posts about Trumps betrayal, then after a bit the usual shit stirrers started accusing them of being shills. The truth about trump may get some traction this time, but I'm not holding my breath.

I keep forgetting that I used to use Voat constantly until I see posts like this that remind me it exists. What is this ordeal about?

You're more likely to gain IQ points, reading different view points including extreme ones helps to build your own opinion.

I do both now ... but much less on Voat than I used to. It's just not the same as it was with all the refugees flooding in in waves.
