...and it tarnishes burnishes Voat’s public image.

Voat is still acquiring its own public image. v/niggers does more than tarnish Voat. It's a defining characteristic of Voat's 'No Censorship and Freedom of Speech Model' and, by extension, Voat Inc.

It's definitely keeping voat from growing. Whether you think that's good or bad is up to you.

FWIW I support option 1 and simply blocked the sub.

Growing into what? A site with a bunch of cunts from bullshit liberal personality cults running it like reddit? Look at reddit just 2-3 years ago. It isn't fun anymore it's too fucking safe. Voat is where you can get a taste of some raw fucking internet and let it know exactly what's on your mind. Using reddit feel's like a fucking human resources panel is watching you. The fags/niggers/pussies/edgelibs on reddit are extra bold knowing your tongue is tied and it amplifies their voice to the point where you can only go to your subs and talk about your specific things. All just incase some fucking pussie post history checker decides they want to go run and tell because you were being whatever the fuck you decided to be, Reddit is fucking itself Voat isn't reddit don't try to be reddit

Growing into what?

A platform with millions of daily users and tangible influence in the world. WIth meetups, and popularity, and getting share links on other popular platforms. In short, powerful. LIke reddit was before the fattening.

I don't support site-wide censorship or coddling, but you're delusional if you think the toxic bigotry is helping voat grow. On reddit it was a minority and easily ignored. On voat it infests /v/funny and /v/whatever and it's making voat feel like a niche sight for the ignorant and the bigots.

If it weren't for /r/HistoryAnecdotes and /r/interestingasfuck I would think voat was made for racists by racists and populated exclusively by racists.

If we want to keep voat small and weak (I don't), we should keep doing exactly what we're doing.

Currently, v/niggers may be keeping Voat from growing. But it may also prove to be Voat's true canary, as has been said many times before.

I think option 1 is best, option 2 has some merit, and option 3 is interesting, but only if that's what the v/niggers crowd wants.

This anonymous posting format will not be able to demonstrate the will of the minority/majority core of v/niggers.
