I realize the irony or futility in attempting to submit a post such as this. If it is censored then my course of action is clear: I will no longer be using this site.
In recent weeks moderators have removed comments which discuss censorship on Voat.
Every single popular subversive which I checked has clear examples where users are saying Voat is censoring content, and those comments are being censored. It's of trivial difficulty to find examples by looking at removed comments.
It's good that we can check removed comments to see whether this is happening. Well, it's happening.
Note: I do not agree or disagree with what's said. I support them saying it. Censoring people who want to discuss censorship on this site is imo quite tragic.

Take notice and help keep voat free. Remember why we left Reddit.

Voat's new censorship
Downvoating is what reddit uses to silence dissenting views.
People don't typically upvoat, even if they like something. They will just look at it.
But when people get butthurt or see things they don't like they DO DOWNVOAT. You're assuming that people use both buttons the same way.
Voating is a censorship tool because it doesn't depend on rational argumentation. It only depends on CONSENSUS. That's why SRS use downvoat brigades because they know it's only purpose is to censor content they don't want seen by others.

I found all of these after about 3 minutes of looking.

This is not news, in fact most of the things you posted are from several months ago. If you want to discuss mod censorship/abuse you can do it on /v/ProtectVoat or /v/whatever.

So your claim that "this is not news" is clearly something we can disagree on and your decision to repeat it is unnecessary. I know you believe it's not news. What's news is not objective. It depends on the person you ask. I did my best to find an appropriate place to put this.
If a story broke about something that happened 12 billion years ago, it can still be news if people didn't know prior to that time. It can still be new information. So the actual time an event occurred does not determine whether it is news.

You can argue as much as you want but that won't make what you say true, you are free to disagree but I won't waste my time on this anymore, I won't reply to your next reply. What you posted is not new information because we already knew about it, it was discussed a lot of times before.
