When I started using reddit about 7 years ago, it was a bastion of intelligent, sometimes irreverent community discussion. But with things like this, and the recent talk of "segregating" communities which reddit "wishes didn't exist", its become a very different place. The mass logging of users by a certain segment of those users is extremely troubling. It actually makes me watch my words, and where I comment. The path they're going is having a chilling effect on speech right now.
Its an awful shame, and what's crazier is that in their zeal to make a safe place, they're enabling shaming and bullying on a massive level. I don't even think the SJWs behind this even comprehend what they're doing.
Reddit will fall. And where the people go, the SJWs will go also to yell at them. How will Voat handle them when they eventually come?

Voat should write a digital constitution visible on the front page, that way, when shit goes south, we can all point at the digital constitution and tap our feet.

Who writes it? how is it going yo be amended? There is no way we are going to be able to vote on this.

I'd say if Reddit is bureaucratic enough to make narwhals and bacon their mascot, I figure We The Voaters can come up with something more pragmatic. How about instead of narwhals and bacon...freedom and anti censorship.

These are indeed rules, and those dictates what happens to you if you break them. We need the opposite, a bill of posting rights...if you will. Things that you can't be prosecuted for submitting, and things that admins should never do, like segregate offensive subverses and filter them out of the search.
