Reddit is a website riddled with entitled people and obvious product placement. It's just an enormous hive-mind that sometimes feels like brainwashing, and the rampant censorship doesn't help either. Meanwhile, Voat feels like a place where I have to be a purebred German male who only eats food grown from his backyard and brushes his teeth with some weird natural plant extract to fit in. It's great that it supports free speech, but you're not really allowed to have opinions that differ from the majority or you'll be tagged a shill (which is why I was always reluctant to post anything on that website.) This looks like a place where there's both free speech and a respect for other people's viewpoints, which has been the Reddit alternative I've been looking for all along.

I love voat, but there are a few schitzos and quite a few more on the spectrum. Every post I made ended with me having to prove I wasn't a shill. I made a post about finding my birth parents recently and because I mentioned the DNA service i used I got attacked as a shill and went from 100 submission points to -30 On that post and lost 300 ccp. Even made a post that went to front page "calling me out" Love most of the crazy fuckers but damn man not everyone is out to get ya bud. Hell i consider my self a white nationalist but those fuckers just make us look bad.

I remember that post, actually. And I remember the post calling you out. Granted, I would never use DNA services because of the known ways they fuck with people and the legal ramifications but I realize not everyone operates like I do. You used a service to find your parents and that's a good thing, yknow?
