Meh, I would be considered far-right, and I fit in on Voat just fine.
The website itself may be called anarchic in structure, but those who gathered there were (or became) far-right quite frequently.
Basically anywhere that allows free speech, where all arguments and evidence can be freely examined, is likely to develop a culture that is far-right by today's standards. Leftism and the kind of 90's liberalism that passes for Centrism today are both so naive, so self-contradictory, that they can only dominate where ignorance is enforced through the censorship of competing views, counter-evidence, and criticism. Any place like Voat is bound to end up with a right-wing culture.
