Voat's welcoming committee certainly was interesting. I like here better, but I do find some good stuff there too. Biggest difference is in the trolling. Here trolls are stupid, there they are gross. For free speech I tolerate shit I abhor.

Y'all are way too deport happy in my opinion. You don't pick apart an opinion to change a trolls mind, you do it to show any reading how it's done. Use it as an excuse to practice debating.

I don't get curling into an ass ball crying deport over wrong think. Ridicule is our greatest weapon, keep that BS up, make it look stupid.

But hey, I like being able to down vote bad posts, what a weirdo.

It's like Gab. Gab has some cool stuff (like their dissenter comment ability), all these "marginalized" or upstart platforms have something interesting to offer. As for the shills, I just chuckle and move on myself. When a community has "unity" it is easy to determine the concern trolls.

For example they can be used to source memes and other news articles that we miss posting here.

I don't post much here, but most of what I do is stuff I find on voat that isn't yet being talked about here.

The overton window is different on different platforms. Only find out where it is by testing the fence. I have found fence here. I have not on voat. Can I recommend voat to a normie coworker? Hell no. This place is good for what it's good for.

Yesterday I watched Tyrone Magnus take NOTES reviewing a conservative twins video. Don't tell me the world isn't changing.

People here don't need convincing though. We're not sitting on the fence. I like to respond instead of deporting unless the comment is just spam, but I find the lefty weirdos funny to talk to. I can understand others that just view them as pointless noise and don't want to see them here.

Do you not expect newcomers? I have pointed people here who were not all in, but curious to learn more. I hope I'm not the only one doing so.

Where am I to send them if not here? Voat? Chan's? .top? LoL.

This place to me feels like it's highest function could be as a welcome wagon to those just waking up to reality.

Oh no of course, but I don’t see people getting banned for having different opinions or questions; not even for disagreements.

I could be wrong of course, but it’s mostly people saying dumb anti-Trump stuff, which we really don’t need.
