How's Voat doing these days?
- q3k 8y agoExtremely toxic, as usual. https://q3k.org/u/0a15b5ec655a7153e7c37ee5062da48c57196af3f01ebe98acd2ad74a2564b68.png https://q3k.org/u/0a15b5ec655a7153e7c37ee5062da48c57196af3f0...
- justsomedude43 8y agoThat's your opinion.
- q3k 8y agoWhat's your point?
- justsomedude43 8y agoThe point is that what is toxic and what isn't is a personal opinion, not an absolute truth.
- d0lph 8y agoI tried to get into voat a month ago, it just looked like they moved all the racist posts from reddit to there. And they had this immense distrust of new people, if your account was created within the week and you posted something contrary they would downvote and comment only on that aspect.

- swalsh 8y agoI totally respect the "Anyone is allowed to post anything, even if it's toxic". but when that's all the site is, or if I can't easily ignore it, it's not usable. The core audience of a forum set the culture. The core culture of voat were people angry they couldn't post their racist shit on Reddit.
- code_duck 8y agoIt was started as a refuge for sub-Breitbart conspiracy theorists, and continues to decline.
- CM30 8y agoIt's pretty toxic overall, though there are better and worse communities there depending on what you look for. Something political or social will make Breitbart look sane, whereas something topical (like a gaming community on the platform) is usually a bit less extreme.
- superkuh 8y agoVoat's been having some downtimes but otherwise it's alright. You'll need to to pick and chose which subs you subscribe to to avoid the more abrasive elements. Subs like /v/justgrowit are pretty good and I'm trying to make /v/radioastronomy good. You gotta be the change you want to see.
