This (new, experimental) bot highlights when a submission or comment is permalinked from elsewhere in Voat. I figure if someone is talking about my post then I want to know about it. And it should discourage brigading.
But I can see downsides too - if you want to be sure ths bot doesn't notify the OP, add a query(?) to the end of the permalink url. That won't affect its parsing/resolution by your browser or by Voat, but it will break the bot algorithm and it won't post the notification.
I'll post a test post linking here now to illustrate how it works.
Comments, questions, suggestions, objections welcome.

What is the cross-link bot saying? Just letting me know that someone is cross linking to one of my posts? It doesn't reference who or what sub is linked. Does the cross link have any ramifications?
