I've been on reddit since 2014 and really liked the voting system, as I felt it was a perfect way to discuss on a large scale. However, since then, I've noticed more and more censorships - always the same ideas making it to the top; few downvoted comments because any controversial content would immediately be deleted and its author banned. Obnoxious censoring of even slightly controversial ideas on subreddits that were supposed to be neutral (ELI5, iAmA, AskReddit, worldnews, news...). The obscurity of the voting system was also a big turn-off.
Then I discovered voat. I really like the idea of an open-source, reddit-like platform with no censorship and clear voting. The community, however, really, really seems to despise my kind (Jews). I'm okay with them expressing their ideas, because that's the whole point of this site. But I would like to know if there is any point is investing myself into this community, or if I will always end up being ostracized for what I am.
I value free speech, I'm a Christian, and I'm Jewish. Can we still be friends?

Gee, you got me! My evil plan is foiled! I wonder how you could guess I was a Jew... :(
One thing's for sure: with people with the same level of deductive ability, who knows, maybe people will find out who really runs the state of Israel...
