Sometimes hate speech must be limited in order for a greater freedom of speech to thrive.
My heart goes out to the founder of voat, I'm sure his heart was in the right place when he founded the site. But perhaps he did not anticipate it to organically evolve into a haven for alt-right extremism.
Perhaps this will serve as a lesson to many future platform providers.
