I'm so sick of the political/racist/shill bullshit that I'm not super interested in contributing much to the platform anymore. It just gets buried in bullshit anyway. The entire internet is becoming a fucking time suck/echo chamber.
The people that get off on that political/racist bullshit on voat have censored their opposition, so they're bored/lonely and coming after the rest of you.

It may be that no one sees your free speech because others ignorantly down vote anything that doesn't support their narrative, but you're not being stopped from posting anything. I think this is the only discussion site on the internet that I haven't been banned from. If I had a button that would eliminate the statist/racist/trumpcucks and the sjw's they create, I'd hit that button so fast. Sadly, they'll keep running the show here because good people usually have better shit to do than attempting to drain this swamp.
Read the disclaimer - unpopular people can't post anything at all.

Smallpond has difficulty seeing this. What I've read so far in this thread constitutes many unpopular opinions, yet there are still upvotes being given for quality content regardless of the viewpoint.
I noticed that. I'm genuinely a little surprised. Since the update, a screen flashes between page loads here and I noticed that I had over 400 votes a day to work with. I haven't been voting on stuff much unless it really inspired me but I want this platform to survive so I'm going to start culling a little more BS and putting more content up. By culling, I mean down voting posts and users that just sling insults and waste bandwidth instead of contributing thought out opinions, evidence, research, and entertainment. If a troll/shill brings the funny, they might get a free pass... Hopefully it catches on.
There are some of us who make the Voat spin by upvoting (and reserving downvotes for spam, shills, and addlebrained bandwidth wasters). I wish more users would do it. Voat would be a much more dynamic place.

If you can't figure out how to get ten ccp, you probably don't have an opinion worth reading.
