Me, too. I have tended to agonize over posts because there's always an a-hole on the internet. I've tried to be the asshole but that just hurt all of us. So far, Voaters have been pretty interesting and supportive.
But does that mean that Voat is more tolerant overall, or we're merely setting up our own echo chamber? I genuinely enjoy it over here, but I need my views challenged from time to time, just to be sure that I can still defend them in my own mind, rather than letting them pass from "Beliefs" and "Ideals" to "habit"
I really have no idea how to tell, although most discourse seems very gentleman/woman-ly around here.
Well, the downvoaters have shown up. Humor always walks that line. I'm not sure what the voat culture is yet. I don't think the creators are, either. Right now, it's in that honeymoon period. But it's not an echo chamber. The first experience with a real echo chamber seems to be either a cacophony of gloating about who's been blocked or a labyrinth of missing poasts.
