Well for the record the you are in no way limited by downvotes here. You can be in the negative and still have the ability to vote and comment the same as anyone. Its not a complete solution but I would say its a start.
I'd say it is. But Voat also started out like that too.
Gab also started out like that too.
How will you combat casual spammers?
Honestly. I haven't found a method yet but I know vote restrictions are not the answer due to watching what happened on voat. I think its possible moderators are the answer ones that are closely monitored by the admins. I think ultimately it boils down to a question of who polices the police and for the moment that will fall to me. I'm the only one with database access. I have my standards of what I will and will not allow. I will allow any form of speech I assume spam will be heavily downvoted and for the most part won't be a problem. If it becomes one I'll find a solution as I have for every problem I've ever run into. If my solution isn't working anymore I will change it. I don't think I can predict the results of how a true free speech platform will go as one hasn't ever truly existed but that doesn't mean it can't. If its possible I'll find a way.
A true free speech platform can not exist.
You already have several rules in place that limit true free speech.
