We live in a time of extreme devaluation of terms. The Democratic Republic of Congo is a hardcore dictatorship. The People's Republic of China is run by a close circle of elites. Likewise, "Hate Speech" is used far too often to shut down fairly reasonable criticism against the "equal outcome, not equal opportunity" policies bundled together with original sin and Orwellian struggle sessions.

OK, but to be fair, it's hard to suggest a meaningful alternative to "hate speech" to describe the conversations happening on Voat and other such platforms.

Places like voat consistently have holocaust denial and calls to actually murder jewish and black people at the very tippy top. There are few places that can be more accurately called "filled with hate speech" than voat.

In my personal opinion, Voat is completely bonkers. So I personally don't go there and consider the problem solved.

Other places on the list are much more reasonable.
