I heard about voat back in the day and thought “Oh, cool, like reddit without some of the overbearing crap from the admins”.
Then I went to voat and read a few posts.
Well, shit. I didn’t want to be on a nazi site. So much for that.
Be careful what you wish for: Reddit admins turned VOAT into a right-wing cesspool overnight by banning a few repungent subreddits. They all jumped ship for VOAT, and polluted the community. Of course, this was probably all planned to get rid of an upstart competitor.

I’m pretty sure the Voat admins wanted Voat to be right wing.

Are there any equivalent quarantine subs that would have a similar effect on the threadiverse? Right-wing people in particular seem to be convinced it is not what they are looking for, fortunately, judging from comments I saw when I browsed r/RedditAlternatives.
