Whats your thought on sites like voat that were seen as escapes but immediately turned into cesspools and then ghost towns?
- miked85 5y agoVoat turned into a refuge for people on the far right who only wanted to talk politics, 100% of the time. Even if you lean towards that side of the political spectrum, it gets very tiresome.
- nichos 5y agoAgreed, vote became the exact opposite of reddit, far right. Most of America is middle of the road, but online sites are very polarizing. I still wish Usenet would make a comeback.

- xanaxagoras 5y agoI popped onto voat from time to time pretty much for its entire duration and I saw it become more and more of a cesspool. I think it and sites like it are a consequence of a mainstream internet culture that strictly enforces a toxic ideology on the opposite end of the spectrum. On the one hand it seems dangerous like a fringe radicalization factory of some sort. On the other hand, while it was easier to see on voat because of how shocking the language was, I don't think it was much different from the type of vitriol, hate and close mindedness one encounters daily on r/politics and other defaults.
