Jesus man. I almost teared up reading that haha, you write eloquently. I very much agree with everything.

I came here to escape censorship as well, I just mean I don't go to the_donald either because it's a hivemind. I have v/politics blocked.

I don't blame you for blocking /v/politics, and I certainly don't fault you for not visiting the_donald. In my first few months on Voat I had /v/politics and /v/news both blocked because they utterly consumed my front page. I have them unblocked now and frankly they still consume it. I do find it nice seeing the takes on current events that you won't easily find elsewhere.

Do we want to be the anti-reddit though? Just the same thing with a right wing twist.

I just wanted a forum online where you could literally have your say without being written off as a jew/shill/nazi/cuck/nigger for having an opposing opinion. Downvoating dissent is almost patriotic in v/politics at this point.

And I feel like when I first came here (you and I joined within a couple weeks of eachother); that was the general idea. Nowadays, idk.
