Voat has a lot of the weaknesses that are inherent in reddit. If you look at something like /r/The_Donald, that's a place that's probably 90% curated content. People think it's honest, open discussion but it's not.

Often when I see stuff on voat and 4chan I get incredibly black-pilled about the dissident right. I don't know if it's mostly manufactured shilling and brigading like you're referring to, or if it's mostly genuine and the dissident right is just chock full of retards. But I'm seeing these patterns on just about every platform -- Twitter, YouTube, etc.

If there's a group out there trying to control voat, what narratives do they intend to suppress and which ones do they elevate? And what is the motivation? I guess those are questions we can think about. But I see a lot of commonality between voat "narratives" and what is seen in the dissident right on other platforms, even with people who use their public names.

The other aspect is that, in my view, zoomers are basically less than useless when it comes to this fight, and they dominate these platforms. That's just one more gear in the machine that has to be considered. Even the highly intelligent zoomers are less than useless.

It could plausibly just be retards. But this list suggests we have accounts being used by multiple users, probably working on shifts.

Think hard on some of those statistics.

Regardless, another well organized group can counter this bullshit. The motivations are only secondary. The overriding point is to come to the defense of quality. Not hostile clowns, morons, or disruption agents.
