If that were actually true you'd need to downvote yourself

I downvoat censoring faggots too

Me too. If you don't believe in free speech you won't get free speech from me.

You will out of the ability to down vote people quickly.
Stupid runs deep here just like at reddit.

Yes, those! They have no idea how the Jews keep controlling them!

Absolutely. I've always thought of it as the Fuck Off button.
But Sometimes I upvoat something particularly stupid in the hopes that the OP catches a bunch of comment DVs as well as S DVs.

This has never been the case in the history of Voat. In fact, it was new niggerfaggots who complained that being downvoated equated to being censored. We laughed at them.
How new are you?

I'm alpha.
I never complained about downvotes, but I always argued that they shouldn't be a disagree button.
I still hold that position. I just accept that downvoting and moving on is more effective at preserving free speech than allowing stupidity to go unanswered.
It's the morons who got upvotes for telling you what you wanted to hear and never received any offsetting downvotes who now control the narrative and are stifling free speech.
Whereas the truest free speechers never downvoted morons, morons still downvoted the truest free speechers. And so to the other morons, it looks like the retard was the correct one. This is the culture that I inherited when I got here, and this is the culture that I have maintained.
Inb4 >yeah?! Well I was here since Whoaverse and I negate your narrative.

You're genuinely stupid if you mistakenly believe you're smarter than everyone

We're not talking about agreement or disagreement. We're talking about downvoating stupid shit, which takes up space and needs to be discouraged, not ignored.
I dispute that free speechers never downvoated moronic content, because that was the recognized purpose of the arrows.
You didn't even spell it right.

From ο Ιδιωτης, a private person, one who does not engage in the Agora. The swirling of private, personal pseudologic, rather than the stillness of vast, objective logic, which underpins reality, in order to reach a conclusion.
I gave some examples in the OP, such as: fallacies, personal attacks, circular reasoning, and the refusal to accept reasonable evidence.

So it WAS the jews then?
[–] 18019172? ago
I imagine the latest Q-wave users are keeping you busy downvoating then.
[–] 18029494? ago
What a twist: OP is a Q-wave faggot.
