Voat had a lot of cry babies who thumbed down people when they said things they don't like. So if you were not a far-right wing extremist, it was really difficult to collect 100 points to make a post. I kept on getting thumbs downs, and I had to delete my profile to leave it. So Voat was no better than Reddit. Poal is the best place for me, and everyone, because this place has the real free speech. :D
