I’m not a fan of racism/antisemitism and the prevalence of it here on Voat is a reason I’m not as active here but I also don’t actively discourage it on nab. There is no punishment, nor even a requirement to associate an identity/reputation with speech.

My goal is to give people the tools to find, discuss or avoid whatever topics they prefer and I think this is achievable without silencing anyone.

On Voat, you can say pretty much whatever you like but it can be difficult to find what you are interested in if you have interests other than identity politics and nationalism and this effect is self reinforcing.

Nope, I still lurk and post occasionally.

Not really.

Idk if splintered from Voat is accurate. I’m still here. The downtime issues last year helped motivate me to build out nab but the idea of a decentralized Reddit alternative is something I’ve had for a while.

Any person in charge has the potential to do what Reddit did and flip from supporting free speech to being an active enemy of it, so IMO the key is to reduce the power any individual has over such a network.

Nab was never meant to be an indictment of Voat in any way, and my hope is that in time technology might unify these disparate alternatives into a single decentralized system where information and speech flow freely and are difficult or impossible for any single entity to censor.

Unify? No, diversity is better.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is Nab?
