So I am guessing a lot of us are here because of what's happening at /r/pizzagate. It's funny, every time I check out voat it's because of some weird censorship shit on reddit. Maybe that should tell me something. I think it might be time to make the switch for good. My concern is this: what's to stop voat admins from doing the same thing reddit admins are doing now, even if in the future? Is this the final refuge? Are there other places like this that can serve as a backup or plan B (like this was for reddit)?

Nothing stops them from anything, like every websites. On the other hand, the admins rarely interfere with the communities, except if you break the rules or if you moderate like an asshole in a system (default) sub.
edit: there's no guaranty that they won't be beaten with a pipe, though.

Did they even get involved during Shegate or was the issue solved entirely with community moderation/trolling? I think that Voat users are good at weeding out actual bullshit, while permitting shit they might not agree with (like making fun of LGBT, black, Jewish or Muslim people) because we understand from Reddit what can happen when we censor people based on feels.
