why such a hurry?

Perhaps keep commenting, don't try so hard, get into the vibe of the place.

I'm sure most of us here don't care even slightly

Voat is for retarded 15 year old nazis who just want their views validated by a big-brother figure.

It certainly seems that certain members here are trying to take this site in a Voat-like direction.

Bound to happen. Anywhere people are allowed to run wild, assholes congregate.

We have the benefit of the PoD keeping the people who aren't coherent or only want to shout slurs from being a dominant force. So it all comes down to whether or not we let their ideology control the site

Them vs Us, is it?

To many, that kind of thinking is the rot itself.

Voat seems to have a pretty divisive ideology, no? Voat is infamous for brigading those that disagree with them, to the point where many users can't use their accounts because they got swamped in negative karma. Regardless of specific positions they hold politically, it would appear that the mindset of "agree with me or I will raid you" is quite toxic to a site devoted to equality of thought. There is certainly issues to be had with the dominant political ideology though

They love free speech but hate different opinions.

no idea, don't use voat.

assuming that there is a dominant political ideology simply because people don't agree with yours is a bit soliphistic, though.

I've been here a while, and there's a good mix of people and most of them piss me off, but that doesn't make the site have a 'dominant' ideology, just makes mine a 'minority' one.

Yea bc it's the only response to retards who spend millions on research but can't see the obvious. We are so advanced people have no basic needs.
