Voat
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 censored unfun community, with some even laying the blame for the perceived decline in Reddit's accessibility and popularity at the feet of social justice warriors.
Based in Switzerland, Voat is a relatively new 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.
Tropes used in Voat include:
- Censorship Bureau: A trope they are desperately hoping to avoid.
- Punny Name: Voat sounds like "vote".
- 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.
