I just joined voat today. One of the biggest reasons I joined is because all the drama between reddits, which involves a lot of closed minded thinking. I've bounced around from the redpill, to kia, to srs, and one thing I can't stand is how censorship minded EVERY subreddit is. The real problem isn't feminism or srs or the redpill- I realized long ago as an atheist the problem I have with the censorship on reddit is the problem I have with all these sjw or anti sjw movements. It's the same problem I have with strick religions to misquote the movie Dogma "Beliefs are dangerious. They don't change. But having and idea- that van be subject to change." Ideaologies like social justice or redial feminism, or even the redpill bother the shit outta me because they look at the world through there own specific frame work without much flexability. It's like a fundimental religion that cannot allow free though as there is a fear of it "poisoning" the message - ideology is what's turning me away from reddit. Reading dworkins and srs quotes piss me off. Yet dispite that, I still want her to be able to express that- a sentiment she expresses displeasure in letting others have because of her idealology. Maybe thus is just my American upbrining, but I believe that speach- even speach you disagree with- should be allowed. After all, if one day the people in power decided what I'm saying is worth censorship, no matter how popular it is now- you'll get censorship like your seeing on reddit. That's the major reason I joined voat. I'm terrified of posting on there because of how ban happy, doxxing friendly reddit is. The administration are going for censorship control and giving certain user free regine, and it scares the shit outta me. This is the first time I've felt safe posting in almost a year- the environment is terrifing to many lurkers. I'm just waiting for subreddit approval to take shape and watch voat explode.
