We've heard this before from Voat about shutting down, but if it really does this time, there may well be a huge refugee surge here. There is always a worry about changing the culture with too many newcomers. Lots of negative myths about Poal there on Voat. They seem to think that this isn't a free speech site.

On Voat, I never downvoated because it was abused (disagree button). That may well be the most difficult part of assimilation for refugee goats. Be easy on them, they'll be adjusting. Many of them are good people.

Same boat. Not because FPH was a sub that I spent much of any time in, but because it clearly crossed the line of restricting free speech. I didn't think there was any site with as few restrictions on speech as Voat, so I never had a reason to leave. I kinda wish I had checked this place out sooner. There's quite a few usernames I recognize from the olden days.
