I have been here for a good while, originally OzarkMoutainGoat. I don't comment much anymore, I just lurk. This site is basically dead, it has been so for a while. It was dead from get-go. The admin hates the user base and a substantial subsection of the user base goes way out of their way to be unpalatable to anyone but the initiated.
I used to recommend Voat to people, but with all the jew and black hating on every god damn post about anything I haven't been able to do that in a long time.
Of itself, it doesn't bother me - what bothers me is that it comes up in places where it's not even close to the topic of the post to the point of often being unhelpful; and has become so ubiquitous that it becomes a deliberate filter against new people, which is kinda fucked up, really.
I'm simply pointing out that I can't recommend the site when all the person will see is a wall of hate; er go, no growth.
Either free speech is allowed, including saying nigger and faggot every other word if you please, or not. Along with that comes the ability to upvoat or downvoat at will.
The alternative is Reddit where they just censor whatever the fuck they feel like if it hurts someone's fee fees.
Free speech is absolutism by nature, there is no real middle ground in that concept that I can see.
There's nothing wrong with using those words but when all you do is spam "nigger," "kike," everywhere with nothing else of substance then that's the problem.

There is a reason for hate.

At the same time, what really is the alternative?
