If /u/PuttItOut can provide us the domain name and the database and source code, that would be magnificent. If he can't or he does not want to, we can try to create a mirror site with a different board but at least try to migrate/scrap all content from voat in order to preserve it.
Attempts to suppress shills or trolls ends up being one less mind conversion to the good side. I mean by allowing the shills here for all these years we have had more then a couple conversions. There really is no free exercise of ideas anywhere in the world including online. Community voting is a great concept but always leans towards group think. Most downvoted posts and threads should have a moment to shine. Not because they are wrong but because they are different.
The community really helps keep shill and troll narrative in check and it turns out to be beneficial overall for visitors at different levels of learning. Also, hell I’ve made a handful of troll posts for feeling frustrated with what’s happening or just for a good kek. I’ll sometimes upvoat a troll or shill if I think it’s kind of funny. It all goes here and that’s what makes it such a dynamic conversation.
I'm the guy that consistently posted whatdoesitmean.com everyday for the last 3 years. While being under constant attack by people and their opinions whiles refusing to allow me to have my own opinion. Personally I like the site and the pro Trump slant. Plus the fun memes. It was real fun sharing and also pissing off a couple people that had no control over any of it.
Americans are a spiteful and defiant people by nature. It's healthy. We need to get back to that in more ways then one.

I get the feeling it would be different.
Free speech + anonymity = great debate.
