Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We’re really concerned about Threads and that’s a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?
I’m pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it’s been forced into a bunch of people’s feed.
If not that’s fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?
Was it? I don’t ask that to be a jackass. I remember being on there briefly before the racist and jailbait bans on Reddit and it didn’t come across as terribly racist to me at the beginning. But it sure as hell got really racist, creepy, and fat-hatey really damn quick.
There’s a possibility I just missed it. I’m pretty oblivious unless something is right in my face.
IIRC, Voat either was created in response to or got popular after the banning of /r/fatpeoplehate and some other shitty subs.
