What will get me banned?
So have you guys prepared quarantine procedures for pieces of shit like kevdude and protectvoat and banhammer type subs? Those really polarized voat. I figured this was a butthurt site but I can respect wanting to have actual discussion not just circle jerk.
None that I am aware of.
But by starting with a small, mixed, and open-minded community, I hope that example will attract others that are similar.
If we don't start polarized, and avoid letting politics creep into moderation and administration, we may be able to stay this way.
I don't think we need to (or should) keep anyone away. I just hope that we can first establish a balanced community that has a distaste for that type of drama-baiting. Someone like Kevdude would find no traction here.
If he made accusations, people would look into it, and discuss it, before starting drama and flinging shit around.
It's mostly just a guessing game/experiment. I think the goal is to create a site where different types of people can get along, and as much as possible, avoid drama, all while being as free and open as possible.
It's an ambitious goal. It works well with a small group but I don't know how well it will scale up.
It won't scale up.
At least, I have very little hope that it will. But I love having a place that I can go for legitimate discussion. So enjoying it while I can.
I'm not sure you would call us 'pc'. Some are, some not.
We're just prefer communicating and understanding over shouting and polarization. We're here to exchange links, ideas, and to have fun. We're not here to push any political agenda, force opinions on anyone, or silence anyone.
There are people from left, right, and center here. I've had a few discussions with people I do not agree with, but no insults were launched, and we respected each other despite our differences.
There are some hate-speech type limits due to the service provider. But that doesn't mean we have to be PC.
For example:
Fuck muslims.
