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. :/
Here's my question for you: why would you feel the need to constantly talk about the people you dislike? That's where the rub comes for me. I don't care that much if you're a bigot or a racist, we'll find common ground elsewhere. Just don't bring it up in every conversation, that's dumb. Why bother with memes about them?
This sort of stuff, it doesn't make sense to keep watering the garden of your hatred. The adult thing to do, if you don't like or if you outright hate something, you cut it from your life. Make sure it is no longer a part of your life. Living in constant uproar is just... wrong.
Whatever. I'm not staff, I'm just vocal about this topic.
The ToS says what it says, make sure it's legal under US law more or less. Err on the side of safety.
Maybe I won't really get along with you that well, but welcome anyway. Opposing viewpoints are still welcome in my book as long as it's open for level discussion.
