> usually it's pedophiles until the operators get a couple not-so-nice letters or a police raid and then at least introduce modest moderation

You're describing illegal content. Nobody is objecting to taking that down. Everyone else is talking about censoring legal content.

Last time I checked, Voat was a bunch of people letting the n-word rip in every comment like they're 10yo and discovered a bad word for the first time.

There was very little sign of intelligence. I had no urge to go back.

Hitler salutes, calling for gassing Jews, or "out with migrants" have been illegal in Germany since 1945 - for obvious reasons, one might add. That is illegal content under German laws, but "muh free speech!!!11" for Americans.

Let me clarify: by "illegal", I meant "illegal in the jurisdiction where it's being hosted", not "illegal anywhere on the planet".
