If any of the fringe groups try and post shit in the defaults, they get their crap deleted.

Are you talking about Voat or Reddit?

There's a difference here. On Reddit, you can't run a fringe group now, because you'll be "quarantined" which is a fancy word for being discriminated against because of your opinion. On Voat, you can run any sub you want, with the same rights as anyone else, without having to abide by special rules. (as long as it's legal in the US) In both sites, there's the healthy rule that if you post your fringe crap into the wrong default, it'll get removed, that simple. Reddit on the other hand, has gone way beyond that since now you can be banned in some subreddits for merely posting in a non-sanctioned other sub.

Voat though, has had some subs allow controversial content sometimes, which gets a lot of oversensitive nannies yelling that we're a racist/ misogynist (never misandrist!) conspiracy nut site. I'm happy with that label though, because if it keeps all the fucking soccer moms over at Reddit, where they can post their forwards from grandma, that works a site wide quarantine system. The longer Reddit stays as a catch all for all the authoritarian slacktivists, the better. When people here say they're looking forward to Reddits demise, I just want to give them a slap in the face and tell them to shut the fuck up.
