We didn't sink our ship. It was torpedoed by the enemy.

No, they want to come here and cause drama and troll. It's interesting.

It's not so much trolling as testing the site's commitment to free speech. A lot of sites claim to support free speech (or "open discourse"), yet have a long list of unspecified words and subjects that are verboten. Voaters like to keep a constant chatter of typically disapproved language to serve as a censorship canary, as it were. As soon as the bans start you know the site is compromised.

That's right. Free speech includes outrageous speech. Often future understanding starts with outrageous speech. The left has clearly learned that lesson. That's why they promote outrageous speech on their side and stifle it on ours. We have dangerous ideas that they can't allow the public to ponder.

There's nothing wrong with outrageous speech, but I've already engaged with a few that just angrily repeated the same points over and over, and when I tried to point out other information they got mad and just said "I'm not going to speak to you!"
That's just trolling and drama, and when you try to engage they do what all other trolls do - cry and call you names.
What we're doing is having a conversation. You make a point, I make a point. It's good stuff.

What and say sums it up. At the end, there were numerous threads by stubborn old goats who talked about doing a series of obnoxious "litmus tests" on their new platforms, and sticking with the one that doesn't ban them. Things will level out as long as this place can remain rock solid.

That's one of the reasons I left Voat a long time ago, that and the fading variety of posts that showed up on the site.
Those same goats have come here and started to just shit on things with their I'm Right You can't be right, and you're commie go back to reddit crap.
We'll see. I've noticed those that try that tend to go away because no one pays attention to it, but with the influx of like-minded people, it may be difficult to not get lost in the flood.
