Sadly, Voat is closing and the community needs a new home. In my opinion, the best solution is Aether, which has as one of its strong suits an intelligent community. Check it out and tell your friends.

Aether supports free speech, is distributed so it can't be blocked or censored easily, is released under the GPL so it can't be controlled or sold out to a corporation, has an active community and a lot of intelligent users.

If Voat is wise, the community will reform on Aether. See you there!
