This just seems like a way of saying "people who agree agree with me." In any controversial topic determing who is a troll at the margins of discussion is very difficult.
I will probably try this, out since Reddit seems unwilling to address corruption in its management. Wondering how free speech issues will play out here.
free speech is moving to voat and gab this site is not advertising itself as a free speech zone more like a polite speech zone
You may not use Voat to break the law, violate an individual's privacy,
or infringe any person or entity’s intellectual property or any other
proprietary rights.
You agree to not post anyone's sensitive personal information that relates to

any child pornography or sexually suggestive content involving minors.
Why can't a forum cater to everybody? E.g., you could hide troll comments using a filter.
Why should a forum cater to everybody? That's what the Internet is there for.
Once you do that, you're in a positive feedback loop to reinforce your beliefs and behaviours, no matter how wrong they may be.
I don't think forums should cater to every subject, but they should be accessible to anyone interested.
I guess most of the world could live in safe spaces like this? But for the creators and doers it's horrific. We move forward by being challenged. That includes everything. (until AI has the ability to filter out things that challenge but don't move us forward)
If by safe spaces you mean places where people of colour aren't subjected to racism, gay people aren't subjected to homophobia and women aren't subjected to misogyny, then I fail to see how any of these types of attack would help anyone "move forward", even "creators".

Did you even read the article? They are explicitly saying that they will (and do) ban bullying and hateful communities. They are not free speech absolutists.
I probably didn't express my view well here. I did read the article & understand they aren't free speech absolutists. Still wondering how free speech will play out here, because I wonder if they will stick to eliminating trolls or if their moderation will be subjective and "politicized".
This more or less means removing all challenging opinions and basically focus on being an echo chamber even more so than reddit. Basically thought-crime policing

Voat does not really support free speech, as per their user agreement: You may not use Voat to break the law, violate an individual's privacy, or infringe any person or entity’s intellectual property or any other proprietary rights.

The Internet has such an enormous potential in terms of fostering cross-boundary communication, the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, and all the rest of it. It makes me sad to see once again that the greatest thing preventing it from really fulfilling that potential is that we can't stop adults from behaving like kindergarteners. Why is it so difficult to get people to abide by the basic rules of human decency a…
But with good moderation you can have good conversations. For instance, I've found subreddits like /r/AskHistorians to be pretty good (for the most part).
