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?

Pick one or the other, shlomo. Fuck off.

Can't pick a different ethnicity, Adolf.

You’re not even trying anymore, you fucking yid.

Do you even know what 'Jewish' means?

The first thing you need to learn about us is that we know more about your beliefs than you do, demon.

Doesn't seem like it. I'm a Christian of Jewish ethnicity and you don't seem to understand that. What do you think, that I live by the Talmud? I don't. Its value, to me, is cultural, not religious.

Pick. One. Or. The. Other.
Pick. One. Or. The. Other.
If you are one of the LITERAL single handful of genetic jews who has genuinely converted, then you would have absolutely no problem with jew hatred whatsoever, because as a Christian you would actually recognize what The Jew is.
You’re (un)surprisingly unaware. We see RIGHT through you.
