Look, poal supports free speech but that does not mean you can go to a sub that does not support free speech and call the mod a cunt expecting nothing to come of it. If you came in to my house/sub and did that I'd bounce your ass out just as fast. Not all subs are the same. Pay attention to the rules. We all got lazy on voat because mods there didn't give a shit. Clearly, some of these mods do!

No, I do not believe all of poal should be 100% free speech because that forces all mods to accept all content. You can't force me to listen to rap music in my house!

Cooking post going in the cooking sub and has nothing to do with anything but cooking if that is what the mod wants. In time, ex-goats will be able to create subs with whatever rules they want as long as they don't violate site wide rules. This is also good. Someone other than us is accountable for some content others could post. Don't think so? Post a death threat and the site owner will have to deal with it first. Or even the hosting provider.

Guys, voat.co is gone and poal is not voat. It's better if for no other reason it is still here. Improvise, adapt and overcome.

100% Freedom, that's called Anarchy. There must be some rules, be they written or unwritten, in order for a community not to degrade into that anarchy.

There's an expectation that you're going to attempt to see what those rules are, and join the community under those auspices, or if you don't find the community to your liking, leave and find one that fits your tastes.

Here, you're perfectly allowed to call someone a cunt and a cockgoblin, but you're going to get that in return. Don't cry when that happens.
