This is just a quick message for anyone visiting Voat for the first time.
We have a known blocking issue in our code base. This means that the site is being a spoiled rotten no good son of... often will toggle off for about 10 seconds and then turn itself back on.
It truly is the most annoying bug you can imagine and we are just so happy to have it along for the ride. To make matters worse, response times are very poor right do to traffic.
So heads up, it's a little like a goat track around here right now.
For two guys with fulltime jobs it is not easy to dedicate the time to find such an obscure bug. As we often do, we have to apologize.
Many apologies everyone. We hate it too.
What we don't have at Voat:
- Server Farms
- Engineers (or even employees for that matter)
- Infrastructure budget
- Marketing department
- Salaries ;)
What we do have:
- Freedom of Speech
- Annoying bugs
- Goats
Anyways, just wanted to say welcome to any new people and we hope that what we have outweighs what we don't have.
If you have the means, please consider donating. Every bit helps and means a lot to both of us. https://store.voat.co/donations

If there was true free speech there'd be a /v/jailbait but you banned it just like reddit. In sum: You're just as bad as Reddit.

Freedom of speech doesn't allow you to break the law. Say what you want though.

Jailbait pictures aren't breaking the law.

I was under the impression jailbait meant kid porn. Clearly I'm not nuanced enough in the realm of paedophilia know the difference between looking at nude children and fantasizing about them being nude.

I'd be interested to know your opinion on a book by the famous feminist Germaine Greer called "The Boy"?
Would you consider that paedophilia?

Yeah that's gone be a no for me, dawg. Feminism is a spiritual abomination that destroys both women and men while enriching the elite through a double workforce and ignorant, unlearned children. Women are no longer feminine, and men are no longer masculine. The duality exists for a reason and cultures for millennia have exulted in it. Ying and Yang, etc. So a self-proclaimed feminist already loses credibility in every aspect due to a fundamental perversion of spiritual energy, which perverts every other aspect of her worldview.

Well it seems we agree on something!
