I do NOT trust https://poal.co

Because:

  • POAL.CO is potentially NOT secure. As POAL.CO code is not available publicly. So it can not be review by the public. In other words, there is a risk of abuse.
  • POAL.CO is own by a for-profit corporation. It is not owned by a not-for-profit community. Usually a corporation first priority is to hoard money. Not serve you and protect your privacy.
  • This means POAL.CO has weaker privacy and weaker free speech than VOAT. Compare to VOAT.CO which IS open source.

It's not necessarily about the code as it is who has access to the servers. Do you trust random shitheads you don't know whose only goal in life is to act like the bigger shithead on the forum?

That's a really good point, the underlying framework of this page knows who posted each thing (try upvoting your own).

That means the real connections can still be formed from the database (post -> user -> email -> someone@gmail)
