I 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.
