Yes, I was the same handle there. It's an oddly specific handle, don't you think?
That's exactly what I mean. There were several other places that could have been "the place" pizzagate went to, but...for various reasons...it went to Voat.
Remember, that was all before Q was a thing. If you were about to launch "the greatest military intelligence operation" wouldn't you test out some things first? I believe that's what pizzagate was...in broad strokes.
And it makes sense...given Voat's "immune system" only the toughest and most dedicated would have stuck around and made a safe place for pizzagate researchers.
It makes a lot more sense when you realize that information tends to run from the chans to "someplace" to TheDonald, to twitter, to alternative sites, to "mainstream". That "someplace" ended up being Voat.
Not that we can ever know this...but I think a lot of what you eventually saw on Twitter and TheDonald started on Voat. I think that a lot Twitter accounts that you think of as Q accounts visited Voat alot.
I think of Voat as a "quality over quantity" sort of place. It wasn't as big as Twitter or TheDonald...but a lot of what you saw eventually get to those places was filtered through Voat.
Alas, there must have been a reason Voat was chosen as the place to go after Reddit, and it certainly wasn't because it was ever going to be "the next Reddit"...in terms of size...I believe that honor will belong to .win
Where we are currently having this conversation...funny how it's all worked out.
I've shared all of your sentiments over the last 4.5 years. One thing which stuck out to me were the number of DDOS attempts on Voat, all of which fell short. Given the information being collated and analyzed, especially v/PG, no attempts to deplatform were successful. To me this indicates that there was a level of protection for Voat, not afforded to other "free speech" websites.
