Yeah. I recently checked out Voat, as it was proposed as an alternative for reddit. Not saying that it’s representative of the whole community, but the top of /v/programming was quite, erm, different to what I excepted: https://voat.co/v/programming/top?span=all

my basic idea here is the success of a pro-freedom site (like voat) is going to depend on the character of the first movers. 4chan succeeds where voat does not because the site has a more robust base of freedom loving people, not all of whom are right wing. I can't even stand voat but I happen to basically agree with em on a lot.
