To be fair he isn't wrong. While I absolutely don't want a bunch of kiked-out, leftist, faggotry infesting Voat like it has the rest of the internet the opposite is nearly as bad insomuch as it cripples any real conversation about anything. It's all censorship in one form or another. I bet that thought has kept Putt awake more nights than he would care to admit.

Are you saying "downvotes are censorship" too?

They can be used as such. To be clear I'm not talking about the community rejecting someone and downvoting them into post/comment restrictions because they are a cunt and noone wants them around. The community should be able to protect itself from cancer. I am referring to how an individual can use a ton of alts in order to effectively silence someone for whatever reason.

Both instances are a form of censorship although the former is necessary to keep Voat from turning into reddit. It's the latter that I take issue with. So it's kind of a double-edged sword. And it has been abused in the past.
