Voat is mostly being promoted by racists who are upset that they're being banned from the default subs for posting hate speech there. It says a lot when Voat's most vocal supporters on reddit are the populations of /r/coontown, /r/conspiracy, and /r/antipozi (all very, very NSFL). The first is an anti-black sub, the second is an antisemitic sub (yes, antisemitic: everyone should read /r/isrconspiracyracist and /r/topmindsofreddit), and the third is a Neo-Nazi sub.
