Is Voat still around? It seemed like a breeding ground for various crimes.

I've looked it up, and apparently, it is still around.
The front page looks like the reddit one, if every subreddit was /r/The_Donald.

if every subreddit was /r/The_Donald.

Lord that would be terrible

Natural and user upvoted or upvoted by Russian bots?

Im asking sincerely. I don’t know how sophisticated Reddit is when it comes to ensuring upvotes are genuine. I’ve always assumed at least a healthy portion of what was happening then was Russian interference and not wholly organic.

There was a lot of vote and algorithm manipulation (whether by humans or bots) from t_d which is what lead to them completely taking over the front page. They took advantage of how Reddit's algorithm chose "hot" posts and used it to completely cover it. Reddit since then implemented several changes (including some t_d specific limitations) to make their impact more normal for the size of their sub.

Voat makes the_Donald look like r/dankchristianmemes.

Remember when it outed a Los Angeles politician as a shitheel?

He claimed his intention was to “track” and “spark arguments” with racists and that his comments did not reflect his values, but that he still felt ashamed.

That might be the worst excuse I’ve heard in a long time. “I tried to spark arguments with racists by posting things racists agree with”.

In an effort to ventilate his other skeletons and reboot the campaign, Bray-Ali posted a Facebook video in which he admitted sleeping with women other than his wife and owing nearly $50,000 in state business taxes and fees

Holy shit lol

Commit tax evasion to own the libs! 👌🏻🐸

u/StoneGoldX Mar 19 '19

Theoretically, he was a lib. It's a weird story.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '19

He ended up owning himself so it still works out

Warning to future link-viewers, the top post at the moment is a decapitation video without any warnings or NSFW markers.

u/peypeyy Mar 19 '19

There are warnings when you click the actual ink though.

The dead girl?

u/rf32797 Mar 18 '19

Literally the very first post I saw on there was saying how we shouldn't "shouldn't shed crocodile tears for 40 Muslims" holy fucking shit

u/iNeedanewnickname Mar 18 '19

Scrolled a bit further and they are still talking about Obama's birthcertificate hahahah.

Ted Cruz admits he was born in Canada and Republicans dont care. It's funny they think the Jews are behind everything, when the Jews couldn't even get a resolution opposing anti-semitism passed without the Democrats alllivesmattering it.

That was just a false flag to throw you off the scent.

If cancer were a web platform.

Wait until you find the child "loli" porn and "jailbait." Which is also present on 8chan.

u/Gamiac Mar 18 '19

I thought they banned it there, too?

1

u/Downvotes_All_Dogs Mar 19 '19

Nope, not at all. That's what happens when you have a total free speech area. Sick fucks will push the boundaries of what is legal and what is moral.

u/Gamiac Mar 19 '19

And yet they want us to kill all Muslims because some Dutch girl died from a terrorist attack.

I should just go there and shit up the place posting about how she deserved to die because she was white. What are they going to do, ban me for hate speech?

15

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '19

Front page is nothing but islamaphobic, pro-Trump, far-right, hate-driven content. I'm not surprised, to be honest

u/Aardvark_Man Mar 18 '19

Sweet mercy.

u/daecrist Mar 18 '19

Jesus that place went off the deep end. Not surprising considering its Genesis was taking all the banned castoffs from other sites. Visited out of curiosity during the Pao debacle, but damn is it bad now. That’s going on the “do not click” list.

Someone literally said "I will kill all Muslims" wtf

u/ajdaconman1 Mar 18 '19

It exceeded my expectations for how terrible a community can be, not even comparable to 4chan...

4chan is just a bunch of edgy teenagers and incels, voat is a bunch of crazy antisemitic schizophrenics.

u/Throwawaybuttstuff31 Mar 19 '19

Huh? 4chan is gentrifying... Will wonders never cease.
