Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

    Remember when VOAT was billed as a replacement for reddit, then it got DDoSed and spammed with CP until everyone forgot about it?

    Corporate interests don’t care about doing things legally at all, if they can figure out an illegal way to get what they want.

      then it got DDoSed and spammed with CP until everyone forgot about it?

      You sure that’s not because it first gained popularity after Reddit banned the jailbait sub?

      VOAT had a reputation of being for the reddit rejected users. The worst of the worst of #conservative.

      It was not a pleasant place to lurk.

        Ya, I’d been looking for a decent alternative forever. Tried to scratch the itch there but man it was bad. Just infested with neonazi pedos to the nth degree.

        Yea, largely because it was constantly down from DDoS attacks when it was starting to become popular with regular users.
