I like poal and the no downvote button but I could see It leading to people just blocking people aka their own little censorship kingdom. That is fine but there where goats on voat that I really disagreed with but every now and then they would post something really profound or insightful so I was glad I didn't block them?

Is that what happens here or am I missing something

Lol! Ok that was pretty funny. Not a shill and if you read my post I like the no downvoat system I think it leads to more debate and discussions... I do shill on one topic.. if you didn't know and you should never forget

There are upsides and downsides to this downvote thing. The upside was that spammers could be downvoted to obvlivion,the downside was just what you mentioned,the echo chamber. That is pretty much what reddit is. If I like your opinion,regardless if you are logically or factually right in a debate, you will get an upvote, if I dislike it, you will get a downvote, if enough people think like me, your opinion even if it's factually right, will not matter and the debate will derail to a circle-jerk.

My solution was to have a poll button next to every post... like/neutral/dislike you only see the results if you hover over it. So this way u can see real quick if op is an idiot in general or if a real debate is going on. It wouldn't affect things being upvoted.

Also poal and poll come on man... as pedo commie Joe would say. It makes to much sense

You can block only 20 users, so it's not like you can hide from everyone.

That Is a good rule. Might need to be related to how many users are on poal. Maybe u can block 1% of total registered users or something

Blocked some dipshit called ‘psycho the rapist” Only took 3 imbecilic comments and a quick look to see who had started it.. really glad to be able to block people.

Been here over a year, haven't banned anyone. It might change if I get sick of the refugees bitching and shitposting ad nauseam, but I don't think so. Heretofor the quality of interaction has generally been higher, both informational density and politeness. Poal is far less suited for an echo chamber than voat was.

I think the block option will primarily be used by those who misused downvote brigades to silence people, as they liked the echo-chamber quality of voat.

Nah. You are over thinking this. I am blocking known Niggerjewfaggot shills that are simply here to shit in the pool and/or flood the subs with old/off topic posts to interrupt free discussion of current events.
