Letting it fail freely is a win for free speech. If their message is so compelling it should be able to endure on its own without someone propping it up. If it isn't then it'll die.
The message itself is what's being attacked. Someone wants to control the narrative and they'll do whatever it takes to nudge us even a tiny fraction towards submission and censorship. We cannot provide them that fraction.
It's not a problem. It's not a system sub. Nobody is required to babysit it. If people don't like what it happening there they're free to create a different sub. The strict moderator policies should only ever apply to system subs. Unless Voat wants to take them in to that context (and they really, really don't) they need to let whoever is large and in charge there do his thing.

Option 1. Letting v/niggers fall is a loss for free speech and will see many users losing faith in what we are doing here at voat.

Don't really care. It's not a system sub. Let it devolve any way it chooses.

It's not devolving, it's been subverted. That's the problem. The subscribers have no say in the destruction of their sub and we cannot abide.
