That’s not true at all. Regularly misinformation is posted here and often corrections aren’t offered either by OP or by the comment section, meaning people either don’t read the article at all or don’t look deeper for citation. Voat has low standards for accuracy on the whole, the only real strong suit is the lack of or at least very limited censorship relative to other platforms.
As early as a year ago, this wasn't so much the case. Now, however, it does seem to be true. The smart goats don't seem to be as active lately. I wonder why?
Four years ago there was also more thought out discussion but I guess that's a byproduct of being a small community; the signal to noise ratio is more ideal.
I don't think it's a coincidence. I think the noise is because there was thoughtful discussion here, and someone somewhere sought to muddy the waters for whatever reason. A free speech beacon is dangerous for those that believe in fascism.

wrong, I've been here for 4 years (I have had a few accounts compromised). There's always been unreliable info here.
Which is fine, most of the posts are a goldmine if you just vet it.
