This is why we need to build and move to a decentralized platform. It seems that Reddit's stances are continuously in flux depending on whatever seems to be convenient for the company at a certain point in time. If people don't want to see certain offensive content that's understandable, but the goal shouldn't be to remove content just because some group finds it offensive. At most a system should be put in place to allow the content to be flagged/filtered out for users who don't want to see it. What's clear is that Reddit doesn't care about sticking to a set of principles. It will change its principles whenever they think that it is profitable to do so. They cared about free speech when it was necessary to keep and grow a small userbase who cared about free speech. Now they want to attract the masses and their grandmas and would rather throw their old users and principles under the bus. Centralized systems just can't be trusted. They'll come up with a set of rules today and change them again tomorrow. Yesterday they were for free speech. Today they are for "open and honest discussion." Tomorrow they will be for happy conversations. The next day they will be for connecting consumers with products and services.

Not me, but it sums up my feelings on the subject pretty well

I'm not saying they're not assholes, they are, but if you post a picture on a site with hundreds of millions of people, you've implicitly given permission to those hundreds of millions of people to repurpose your picture. Maybe you become Ridiculously Photogenic Guy. Maybe you become Derpy Beyonce. If you put yourself in the public's eye, you have to take the bad with the good.

Victimization has become a bullying tactic over the past 20 years. SRS are far more hostile than any other group on reddit. Those niche hate groups keep their shit in their own little subreddits where they can be ignored by normal people. SRS infects the whole site, and now they're monetizing: http://www.zazzle.com/fempire

I don't care that FPH is gone from reddit. I'm concerned with how they were ousted, and how an even worse, more vocal, more invasive group is allowed to go unchecked for doing the same things the FPH policy prohibits. Where's my safe space to disagree with radical feminism?

Voat isn't exclusively those 2 groups. They make up a higher percentage than they did on reddit because voat doesn't have hundreds of millions of accounts. Voat touts the same tenets that reddit was founded upon. Those people were railroaded off reddit under the guise of harassment for calling the ceo of imgur names. Some special interest groups wanted them gone, got their wish, and are now harassing Voat because they don't want anyone saying anything that makes them uncomfortable. That, in turn, makes those haters victims I their own right, and they scream even louder. The sjw crowd from reddit is pushing the buttons of the hate crowd to provoke a response they can use as an excuse for their actions, and the hate crowd is using the button pushing from the sjw crowd as validation for their beliefs. I wouldn't be too surprised to see this end up in court in the next couple of years.
