'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150211024646/https://voat.co/ Voat]''' (rhymes with "goat") is a [[Reddit]] styled site.

In fact, it was created as something of "reboot" of the concept started by [[Reddit]], and Voat was created due to belief that Reddit had become a [[Censorship Bureau|censored]] [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|unfun]] community, with some even laying the blame for the perceived decline in Reddit's accessibility and popularity at the feet of [[Soapbox Sadie|social justice warriors]]. Also, the creators of the site desire for the [[Good Old Days]] when the days of quality content and friendly atmosphere, what they found is lacking.

Based in Switzerland, Voat is a relatively new{{when}} community, but it hopes to do everything Reddit does even better, and is a firm proponent of free speech to extent allowable under Swiss law.

* [[Censorship Bureau]]: A trope they are desperately hoping to avoid.
* [[Mascot]]: The voat goat.
* [[The Merch]]: Voat has a little store where users can buy things, like caps,hoodies, and stickers.
** Averted. The store is currently closed until further notice.
* [[Punny Name]]: Voat sounds like "vote".
** It even sounds like "boat".
* [[Same Face, Different Name]]: The site used to be named "WhoaVerse", but since that's [[The Unpronounceable|tricky to say]], they change the name to an easier one.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: A good portion of Voat's users originally came from [[Reddit]] out of growing dissatisfaction and fear of censorship, though some still maintain accounts on both sites.
* [[Start My Own]]: Basically this in response to dissatisfaction with [[Reddit]].
