It was voat.xyz, not .co.
It was also .co for a bit. I think.
voat.co and voat.xyz are unrelated save the name and a former .co user who started the new site. talk.lol is it's official name, and the plan (as I remember) was to simply use the voat name as an attract for former .co users, then change the name.
Voat.co shut down on christmas of last year. The exodus and subsequent whining of former users who showed up here was an exquisite treat.
Many of the .co users that migrated to here, then to .xyz when it opened were mad they lost their little empires and couldn't insert themselves into this place easily.
I had the misfortune of migrating to both voat and poal. Both were skin thickening experiences. But I’m a tough old bird who wanted truth. So I lurked, sucked it up, and stuck it out.
Looked at voat.xyz when I first heard about it. Doesn’t compare favorably to either poal or voat.
Voat.co had a really good run and there were some outstanding discussions on there. That said, I do miss it a bit but not any more than any of the old websites which have entered the dustbin of history.
It was co.
.co and .xyz were never the same site.
Voat.co was the original one the commies got tanked, like they did 8chan. Voat xyz is the resurrected version, as is 8kun.
I'm aware of the distinction and was telling OP.
