The advice to be careful what you say on this site, or anywhere online, should be taken to heart.

Is this site a honeypot? I am concerned by this about this possibility too. The ownership and the management of it seems rather opaque. I act accordingly.

Not sure if posts are being manipulated. But it certainly seems to be flooded with rapid waves of knee-jerk one-dimensional racist and Jew-hating posts.

===========================================

....I don't agree with much of what is posted on voat. Far too much is inane and shallow. And I would not want to have all of that associated with my real life reputation.
But at the same time I strongly feel websites like voat should exist, where people can express whatever unpopular opinions they might have.

However, the problem is there are so few websites like this available any longer,
And those few that remain are rapidly being shutdown or simply polluted with shills, saboteurs, and one more fatal category:
Those who take this opportunity, not to share well thought out opinions, but who choose instead to jeopardize these last refuges of free-speech by abusively spouting off hateful screeds with all the thoughtfulness and intelligence of an arrogant, self-centered, spoiled 12 year old bully.
It's a shame really.
And the threat of this potential loss to free speech on the net is rather important and far more might be at risk here than we realize, or can foresee.

Please everyone, act responsibly.
