Voat downvote brigades people that they have a disagreement with, even if it's a slight disagreement, or people they just don't like. They are an echo chamber. We don't do that here on Poal.
Yeah that's kind of why I'm here. Voat is pretty much useless unless you're a right-winger specifically looking for right-wing political content, and even then much of it reposted or inflammatory fake news. I am a right-winger but like you said Voat is an echo chamber. What's more I could not recommend Voat to my friends because they would probably see the frontpage and think I'm crazy.
I'm definitely open to a board that still has quality political content that affirms free-speech, but one where it isn't everything, and there's other quality apolitical content on the frontpage. Even from a purely political perspective, platforms don't get popular when they host purely political content, they get popular when they host quality content.
