I posted this in another thread.

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.

-John Stuart Mill

The community will deal with content they disagree with through discussion and voating.

From the FAQ:

Will you censor comments and submissions?

While we don't necessarily approve or agree with all content that users submit to Voat, our policy is to not meddle and not censor content unless said content is illegal in Switzerland.

I think the only banned things I've seen are based on spam not content. And even then you can still discuss the content from the banned site.

The "as long as it's legal" part actually comes with two stipulations as specified in the User Agreement:

Rules

Keep Personal Information Off voat: You agree to not post anyone's sensitive personal information that relates to that person's real world or online identity.


Respect other users

You may not purposefully negate any user's actions to delete or edit their content on voat.

I just came to talk about this, because I saw a doxxing post in /v/TooPersonal and that sort of thing seems out of line to me, even though it may not specifically be illegal. I think that's probably the only non-illegal thing I don't approve of since it can lead to harassment so easily.

Ah thanks, It wasn't in the FAQ that I saw. That should be mirrored over there.
