View it another way: Voat had managed to boil it down to two groups: The Q-sphere, who did their own things in their own little bubble, and then the wide awake fuckers that you describe. It happened through a simple selection process; withstand the gauntlet that was the frontpage, and if you made it through, odds are that you became quite redpilled. If not, well, then you bailed and that was that. It’ll happen over time here again, I’m sure of it. Forums have a tendency to become exceedingly rightwing OR troll/bait shitholes when left unmoderated (or with a focus on “anything goes).
