Who is "you faggots"? I'm exploring your position. If a downvote is "only" speech then why does it have a different effect than a negative comment would?
It is clearly more than that. But as you point out, if Poal doesn't like it actually being used why have it instead of a report spam button like every other site in existence?
I liked Voat better than this place, but the downvotes from redditfugees did negatively affect its character from when I joined close to 6 years ago. Still Poal seems designed like an experiment in obedience training.

I had been on voat since alpha.
I have never once seen any DV brigade. Ever.
I keep hearing about that and am only hearing about it on poal and only since voat closed. It's a retarded, wrong, and made up point. People are just angry that their garbage posts were hidden because they were garbage and likely had subversive intentions.
It's not a matter of brigades. It's a matter of individual voting behavior.
When in Alpha? It didn't really start until after the second big migration (the first being FPH). Was it r/Coontown or something?
Before then downvotes were exceedingly rare. They weren't used for disagreement at all. They indicated spam, illegal content or truly off topic posts and comments.
Then large numbers of people came from reddit and brought their reddit voting behaviors with them.

Which couldn't be more than a few DV before it turned off your ability to do such.
So you're wrong. It didn't happen. Voat had a pretty advanced ruleset to check against to prevent such DV kikery.

That is so incredibly wrong. I had a near 1:1 DV:UV ratio for all 6 years I had been there.

Not reddit behavior. It's human behavior to silence subversive (((opinions))).
No one wants to hear about your ebin baste nigger. There are none. No niggers are acceptable in once White nations. No jews are good jews, none. The holocaust didn't happen. jewflu doesn't exist. Trump is a jewish puppet. etc. I shouldn't have to reply to such comments to show the (((user))) posting such kikery the way out. I shouldn't. No one should. I shouldn't have to post a reply to show other users what's correct. Thos things are as common knowledge as water being wet is.
This argument and the fact that it's been argued SO FUCKING MUCH just today is exceptionally questionable, obviously subversive and malicious in intent.
