The difference here should be noted....

There are multiple mods in /v/pizzagate that are censoring posts on a rEddit-esque level.

And honestly? There's nothing wrong with that. Mods are not required to censor, and pizzagate isn't a default sub. You want a version of the sub with no deletions except for illegal content? That's great, make your own. Some people prefer curated content. So long as the default subs are free of non janitorial moderation, I'm happy.

Then I assume you also have a problem with how fatpeoplehate moderates too? Why aren't you complaining about them?

I've been banned from FPH for this post....

It only took one post in that subverse, and my ban isn't/wasn't censorship based on protecting a specific race -or- religion.

I tried but it didn't seem worth my time TBH.

It's a circlejerk sub.

You don't need to participate in those subverses, you can make and promote your own or find somewhere else that you feel comfortable with. This might come as a shock but it really doesn't matter if a moderator isn't running a subverse the way you want.

No one here is required to take your feelings or desires onboard. Do you even know how reddit became such a fucked up place? It started with emotional appeals, a small minority of users felt it was their right to remove anyone with opinions and content they didnt like in communities they were not a part of using emotional appeals like "fatty cries when fatty is called fatty" or "my ovaries mean I need special attention" and best of all "that is just offensive to X minority" because that is what authoritarians do, wait and see. It hasn't quite happened yet but when it does they will start trying to do that kind of appeal here and use baited comments and article submissions to put pressure on Voat as a company to "filter" content and users based on emotional nonsense.

Let those who want a second Reddit try and turn Voat into Reddit, they will either adjust to how things are done here or create utterly insignificant fiefdoms and toil endlessly trying to exert the slightest bit of control over narratives, communities, and the wider site in general. Subverse users and creators have a few tools at their disposal to rid themselves of jackasses and restart in another subverse whenever they want.

p.s. this kind of stuff will only stop if Voat is made read only.

3 paragraphs of "blah blah blah" when you could have just simply said "I support censorship"
