More respect here. If you post a recipe about lime salsa your thread won't get over taken by racist cunts. Also, less crazy. I'm not a flat earther/antivax/qtard so I was starting to get annoyed to see that much stupid croweded into one platform.
This is much more my experience. Even trying to just "stay in my lane", I am really tired of not being able to post something "innocuous" without derisional comments. It's gotten to the point I'm almost reluctant to post certain music artists because the politics or race of the artist will promote negative comments that have nothing to do with the music. My enjoyment of art shouldn't need to be defended. Fun and joy shouldn't be such a chore.
I'll always do my best to protect the music.
Appreciate that, and I'm sure you include any hobby or interest. I don't expect anyone to share my tastes, and others opinions are welcome. The least I would hope for is to stay on topic and have a conversation instead of just a fly-by attack pulling in unrelated issues. As others have said, the minimal socio-political content here is much more welcoming. I think there are many who stay aware but prefer to "look on the bright side of life". Rage and anger have their place, but to live in it 24/7 isn't healthy or useful.
Well said. I left voat because after a few minutes of scrolling I would find myself getting anxious and angry. Not triggered, just fucking annoyed that a recipe for lime salsa could somehow get subscripted in the comments into hating a minority of choice. If users want free speech to hate, fine, IDC. But keep it to your threads and subs. When you impose your shitty politics onto my apolitical post well then you just became an insufferable cunt on the SJW "muh politics matter" autist spectrum that nobody wants or asked for.
