Posting content of any kind that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group of people because of their belonging to a race, religion or nation is strictly prohibited.

Seems to be the elephant in the room, for those who are apprehensively singing up, over the past 24 - 48hrs. Part of the reason that voat blew up, was due to the fact that you could discuss things that were beginning to be labelled "taboo", elsewhere. I've seen others, in my short burst of lurking, that they're posting things like, "fuck Islam" as a proof that this place isn't reddit 2.0. That's cool.

I'm just looking for clarification; I get that inciting hate and violence, and simply stating your hatred towards something, are two different things. But in the spirit of not coming in here to shit up the place, figured I'd ask first. If I just have to tone-down the shitposts and jew-memes, that's cool. If I have to tip-toe around saying anything negative about things that I sincerely believe in, because it might offend someone and get me banned— even if I'm being completely objective and reasonable, about my views, then you could consider this my last post. :/

Mainly stuck around voat for the shitposts and endless stream of news, from different random sources. Also, Phuks kinda seemed like a ghost town— even by voat standards. But, alas, times move forward. Gonna stick around here and gab, for a while. See which one grows on me. Mainly, I have a question involving this line, from the ToS: > Posting content of any kind that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group of people because of their belonging to a race, religion or nation is strictly prohibited.

In over a year now, only a handful of posts/comments have been deleted by admins for breaking this specific part of the TOS.

Was this at the request of the hosting provider?

No, we have never received any kind of request either from our hosting provider or any other entity.

The provider is not responsible for maintaining that, we are. If you read their policy broadly, they can just choose to drop us if we are clearly doing nothing to enforce their policy, hence the reason we have some of the same rules in the Phuks TOS.

The only case in which we would possibly receive a request from them is for copyright infringement. If someone contacts them about some of their content that we are distributing for free, say, they would notify us to take it down or they'd take it down themselves.
