I can see both sides on this one. On one hand, curation is valued, and on the other hand, free speech is valued. It's beneficial for subs to stick to their stated goal, but also for people to be able to speak on this site. I think that there's definitely room for both approaches on this site. Does the fact that /v/gaming is a default matter? If so, how does it play into this? Should that default err on the side of free speech, and that instead, leave curation to say completely dedicated gaming-news, gaming-reviews, gaming-video subs? I don't know the answer.
What I do know is that both are valuable. I agree on free speech, but a better case overall ought to be made for curation along with all that sticking to a stated goal . With mod logs, thankfully curation on Voat.co can also be done in a transparent manner.
