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.

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. :/

I will say that it can sometimes help to get things off your chest. I have worked in and around all sorts of people and have noticed a close difference in character and treatment. The internet is sometimes the only outlet I have to vent those issues. Not saying I go around forums constantly screaming nigger or kike. That's just annoying.

I get that, I understand it totally. I used to work helpdesk and supported people in a larger, more uhh... "ethnic" town. Rest assured I can and have gone off about that. I try not to, I try to repress any of that internal hate because that not who I want to be. But sometimes, man, sometimes...

Glad to hear that. Also, somebody downvoted you before I replied--it wasn't me. I'll even it out.

I don't mind downphuks or upphuks. I come to places like this for many reasons and none of them are for imaginary points.

I agree to a point. Repressing ones opinions or reality is never good. Those feelings will come out in one way or another. There is no reason to live with hate inside of yourself. But calling a spade a spade isn't exactly what I would call hate. It is being a realist.
