Voat was founded to be free speech maximalist relative to Reddit. Basically the only subreddits Reddit ever banned that weren’t bigots or pedophiles were r/shoplifting because corpos don’t like being stolen from and r/chapotraphouse to present an appearance of impartiality when banning r/thedonald.
When someone online bemoans a lack of free speech, you have to ask, “free speech to say what?” in much the same tone as you might ask, “states’ rights to do what?”
