Can you tell me a bit about the important history of Voat? (AskVoat)

submitted ago by AlexanderMorose13

Recently, someone told me that I didn't know about the history of Voat prior to the period where many people joined during the Q rush. I actually joined during the Q rush without even knowing about the Q drops at all. There were some important names mentioned that I didn't know about either.

It would greatly help me if we could summarize the important history of Voat and the users that made this site what it is for the new people who are getting ready to join this community. If anything, I'd like to learn more about my home away from home.

I first came to voat back when everyone was mad at Reddit for having a female CEO or some shit. I was flabbergasted by the language on here, open racism, but more importantly I was impressed at how hard the users on this site fought back

Earlier this year I quit reddit because it was astroturfed like a motherfucker and became a click farm. I still think this place is a toxic mess but I like it because no one here is holding back and you can say nigger

what? You mean apart from me?

Let's be honest, there's a lot of open discussions here but there are some actual h8rs

I'm ok with reading their stuff because I'm tired of censorship.

No one here likes kiks so it gets labeled toxic to scare the other goys from here

There's still a lot of shills, glowniggerciaplants, and many attempts to start purity spirals. A lot of the info can get people down as well, so they tend to lash out often if they spend too much time here. But there's not a lot of other places you can post to and not get insta-banned for most of the views here. Even the fairly normie-level stuff like not enjoying the current (jewish-led) communist push to destroy the world.

Voat is not a website for truth, after all.

glowniggerciaplants

See above.

and many attempts to start purity spirals

Learn what you’re saying.
