Saw this when I dropped by Voat and thought it was a great commentary on the site of late, and those still defending it. This was one of the last two posts before Voat went down 4.8 hours ago. Voat Link
Didn't say it was bad. Just dumb for those going balls to the wall defending the place when it's one and only admin doesn't give a damn. Especially with viable alternative. Hey, I liked Voat, great concept, good folks, but mama didn't raise no fool ... when Putt decided he no longer cared, why should anyone else.

I think there's a difference btw not caring and getting burnt out. Putt became a very public figure supporting absolute free speech and got nothing but shit for it. He's argued to allow stuff on that site I personally found reprehensible. There was this whole "starlets" sub of scantily dressed young folks. Since it technically didn't break any laws he allowed it. I remember bitching about it to him in chat.
It made me uncomfortable but like he said didn't break any laws. I wholeheartedly believe in free speech. There are aspects even I can't tolerate. I actually believe we can have free speech but need additional laws to protect kids. Let kids be kids. I'd even suggest social media should require an adult brain. Many people will think I'm wrong.
If you wouldn't hold a retard accountable for everything they said then why would you hold a 16y/o accountable? The internet never forgets

Again, I'm not anti-Voat, hell you know me. My trouble with it now is that Putt absolutely refuses to accept the slightest help from the many good users who would gladly donate time and effort to keep it up. Being burnt out is one thing and I can respect that, being stubborn is another.

As long as a block function is available, I can decide for myself what I want to see. As important as the right to say it is, so is my right to ignore it.

I was cool with Voat until it came to the pedo apologism and that is when I deleted my account. There's always a line and Voat found it.

I defend 4chan as well. Even stupid people are allowed to talk :P Voat's a lot less interesting to me these days but isn't inherently bad or anything.
