There were a good many people who were already far right, but I'd say they were only maybe 10-20% of the voat population. Most of them were lolbertarians, CivNats or even liberals who had left reddit due to the Ellen Pao controversy (I think that was when I came, I don't remember. Over 4 years ago in any case.)

They literally spammed kike redpills constantly. Back when pizzagate was a huge thing there was one user (I forget who) who stopped by every single thread to talk about pedophilia in Jewish culture. It eventually sank in. The suspicious mind couldn't hold out the truth very long and eventually 95% of voat was flipped.

in an open platform things will always shift to the right because nazis and ancaps simply win arguments when they can't be censored or blocked

Back in my day we called each other negro light loafers instead of nigger faggots

voat used to be about free speech and pedo shit. now it's the opposite.

Yeah. I imagine a lot of people who came to Voat back then due to the Ellen Pao stuff didn’t necessarily have a unified political ideology.
