I came from Voat and was never a Redditor, save for a brief flyby, where it took me just moments to determine it wasn't for me. I did exactly what you speak of on Voat, and do the same here now. I left Voat over a year ago now, because it was becoming too toxic. In fact, the same is true of most our core user base, many of whom defected here when pmyb2 created this alternative and aou made it even better.
My question is simple though, how do you do what you ask for. We already have quality posters doing small subs containing non-political things that interest them. As a free speech forum, all are welcome and can post generally what they please, within our ToS guidelines. As we grow, the culture may change, that is inevitable. We will evolve, but we can't have free speech on one hand, and say, but not you on the other.
how do you do what you ask for.
well as for me personally, i've actually been in a slump for a long time... but i'm planning on getting back to my older hobbies and interests, gonna look for some other people who share my interests. i'm really not active on any other website at all right now, but i'm thinking about what i'm going to do irl, and maybe post some of that to here and see who else wants to join me.
it's too early to see a change right now, anyhow. i noticed things tend to have to exist for 2 years on the internet before a whole lot of people notice it exists.
