All great points. I agree with the doxxing and brigading points completely. What do you think of a site-wide block user button instead of handling it on a subverse basis? Then users each have the tools to block a heckler without affecting anyone else on the sub.

I think it's a great idea for Voat, actually. I will readily concede that it comes with the risk of users echo-chambering themselves, but I think we can generally trust Voat's users to seek out enough dissenting opinion on their own to prevent that becoming a sizable problem. At any rate, users are still free to speak whatever they wish, but as always with Free Speech, it is incumbent upon the speaker to be persuasive enough to get others to listen to what they have to say...the same concept applies with this ignore button/command idea, so I see no conflict with Voat's historical support of Free Speech.
