I find myself sharing this website far and wide. I never did that with Voat because it wasn't for the faint of heart. You have to be able to blow right passed the shills and blockhead comments to dig for the gold. Plus, I didn't want people I know to think I agreed with much of what was posted there. I think this progression was, like the rest of this operation, planned. The people that were in the trenches can now move among the general population and spread the information to a broader audience.

RIP Voat :(
Interesting. With the timing, I always believed it shut down for a specific reason.
I don't think it was from a lack of sharing links. Between family and friends, I probably shared links to voat with a couple dozen people. Some of them more than once. Only 1 or 2 bothered to look, and I doubt they did more than look once in a while.
But you are right about it not being for the faint of heart. For all the time I spent on voat, I rarely spent time on the chan boards or 8kun. I guess I Just wasn't up to wading through that mine field.
In retrospect, I think voat was the incubator that brought in people from a wider swath of society, who were a little better suited for spreading the information around. And then the time came to turn us loose.
I was on the Pizzagate forums for a bit, then took a break because it was hurting my soul. When I was ready again, I could not figure out how to get back in the forum. It would block me totally.
I was under the impression Q endorsed Voat so as to encourage people to uncover the ugly, ugly truth about Zionism, Israel and international Jewry. I know for a fact when I arrived there through Q I was a politically unaligned concerned conspiracy realist. Now, well, I see the world quite differently...
That said I was never on board with the hate. I can have those beliefs without wanting random people to be hurt or killed.
I have noticed a pattern of freethinkers being moved from one forum to another by closings/overuse of propaganda. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks theres a chance some shills are white hats for this purpose.
