I'm talking specifically about

anyone who doesn't agree with me must be a kike

i'm not even going to bother arguing with you because you're an obvious shill / idiot

I see SBBH is active today

just generally people having sandy vaginas

I've heard you say a couple times "that won't happen here."

But, you are committed to providing a free speech platform. And we will probably draw more from Voat's userbase than from anywhere else on the internet. Pretty much the only way this site doesn't end up like Voat in that way is if Voat remains online and serves as kind of a containment area for the purity spiral crowd.

And I suspect this is the reason Putt has 'burned out' on Voat. It's a closed off place where very little real discussion occurs. Probably a liability that has cost him things in his personal and professional life.

What would you do if the same thing happens here?

...the purity spiral crowd.

I've never heard that term. Care to elaborate?
Thanks!

purity spiral = "You know Taylor Swift is a coal burner. She has to be, there are multiple pics of her on stage with blacks".

lol, I like @Ozark's example. Another one is "Yeah it's great Jordan Peterson denounces communism and PC culture but he won't name the Jew so we can't trust him."

Basically when a crowd starts disqualifying anyone whose opinions aren't pure enough, rather than acknowledging some agreement and disagreement on various issues. The fringe splintering away from everyone else rather than trying to find the common ground. But the problem is once the fringe splinters away, a fringe within the fringe splinters away again. Then you're left with a bunch of lazy ideologues who would rather say "go back to reddit/you must be a jew/SBBH" than engage the opinion they don't like, arguing with ad hominems like leftists.

Also a great example.
Much of Voat is 'pure' about naming the jew. It does get kind of old, but it's part of the ambiance of the site.

Oh sure, but there was a time where it used to be kind of cheeky and funny. Kind of like here. On Voat nowadays the Jew hating seems more like a way to get out of thinking critically and/or blame all the world's problems on one thing.
