I would argue this has more to do with alternate social sites gaining traction and attention. No one should think the commies would stop doing what they are doing after they took down voat. It is in their programming to sniff out every alternate space to assimilate it or kill it. It is an inevitability. One way to circumvent this is to create several places for every one that falls. I have booked marked a few of them already and the quality is much better since the commies are distracted going after the biggest hang out spots.
