- rhencke 8y agoThat isn't how Voat was created at all.
- Nadya 8y agoIf people repeat a lie enough it becomes the truth. That's the goal when misinformation like this is spread. Even better when ignorant people with only secondhand knowledge begin to spread the message. Voat had existed for just over a year before the mass subreddit ban on Reddit. The timeline is easy to look up on their Wikipedia page [0]. It was already a trollfest 4chan-like-community version of Reddit before the users of banned subs joined. - Founded as WhoaVerse in April 2014 - Subreddits banned June 2015 [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voat
