I've already noticed that some of the people who have high stakes in Reddit, are coming over here and "staking claims" to "their" subs by creating the names here (effectively taking the usernames and any variation of them) and will eventually infiltrate Voat when the time comes.
These are people who have done grave and hideous bullying and abuse to multiple members of the Reddit community who they perceive as threats / just do not like for one reason or another. I also happen to know that they are in very deeply with the Reddit admins thus being able to continue their abuses and not be punished for it.
If it's just going to be the same people running stuff over here, why are we even trying to grow this site? It will be the same childish BS from reddit under a different name.

That's why I'm concerned as well. If Pao is actually censoring harassment and offensive things, then those bullies will come here because they are free to harass without punishment.

Agreed- I've heard Voat referred to as 'where the trolls of reddit are headed'. I hope not! Seems chill so far, would be great to see it stay this way.

My goodness, I would not like that.

It's not the harassment she's censoring. It's the harassment that the people who are high up in reddit's tiers are allowed to continue with no consequences because they have so much control over the site, there are whole sections that would collapse if the company turned on them. They're bringing their antics here and "staking their claims" to their territories already (their words)

She shut down FPH for going outside of their sub and harassing/bullying others.
