"Hateful" is subjective. Where you hang out simply has a different definition of hateful to where they hang out.

Utter nonsense. The community of Voat, as well as other far right/alt-right online communities, are hateful and wrong. If a group is intolerant of an unchangeable characteristic of another group (esp. race, socio-religious background, etc.), then it is hateful group to be opposed by free society.

Indeed - there is some leeway for dark humour and whatnot, but voat was just pure vitriolic racism

There are a lot of places that are intolerant of men, would you suggest they be banned too?

Who said anything about being banned?

i mean, there are surely differences in what people consider hateful, but in the case of voat there were open calls to “complete” the shoah, so i am not sure this is the community on which to stake your claim.

So if I punch you, that’s just another way of patting you on the back?

It’s really ironic that given how much they bash it, the far right seem to be the ones who have taken postmodern nihilism the most seriously.
