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?

No, I mean that would be the sort of question we would ask them. Every so often there'd be a thread where we voaters not confined to the purgatory subvoat would vote if people would be released into voat or have their incarceration continue until they demonstrated sufficient ideological reform to the community.
Obviously we'd only parole the ones we believed to be fully reformed and no longer a threat to the voat community. Particularly vulnerable minority community members like /v/fatpeoplehate and /v/murderingsjws.
