Founder of Voat,‘Censorship-Free’ Reddit, Begs Users to Stop Making Death Threat
- ohjeez 7y agoI tried out Voat when it was new. It's a truly creepy place.
- Yuval_Halevi 7y agothe idea behind voat is good but the execution is average. When there's no cencorship it opens the door for low-quality content to thrive
- microwavecamera 7y agoI'm from the Usenet generation. No user accounts, no way to ban anyone and no way to block anyone, only client-side message filters. The alt.* hierarchy was an early iteration of the "censorship free" concept and this is why we can never speak of Usenet again.
- tatrajim 7y agoIt's baffling to me how SV, which created USENET, likely the freest forum for speech in history, now cheers on censorship. Free-thinking and wide exchange of heterodox views strike me as a necessary accompaniment to creativity in the tech world.
