Voat is already on its way to being shut down.

The owners posted last week a message telling some of their users to stop inciting violence as the Feds were in contact. Given that Voat is ultra-toxic now it's not going to be possible to moderate every piece of content ever posted.

Wow, I remember joining Voat way back when it first started and it just seemed like an angsty Reddit. I even started a group for my home town.

Just read that thread and it's crazy how much it has festered since then. Everyone there just seems so angry all the time, there are zero positive posts on the front page. How do people live their lives so angry all the time?

The top comment on that post is just amazing. Voat really is the place where you can "have your say™"
