Worse aspect of this article is that absolutely no research was done into the creation and genesis of voat.
Since many dont know....lemme help you.
It was started as forbidme. Atko was banned by mods in world news on reddit because someone posted a heap of lies of atkos actual homeland.
Saying this shit and making the aggressors appear as if they were savior. Well atko called them on it, and then challenged their validity to where they were and what they supported.
Mods brought the ban hammer and he got pissed....he made forbidme.
Now back then it was him, moe, and fuzzy....goldfish didn't show up until around DC trucker strike which was just after I did.
Two days it was forbidme to whoaverse....back in whoaverse it was just people sick of reddit and wanted someone else.
We had fun and all of us made subs....it was that made lots of them...all the defaults actually and she didn't want a word of how she had to many.
Being that whoaverse really didn't have a common enemy she became the lightning rod.
Then when shit started to hit the fan with reddit and Ellen doing her shit many of the power mods came to whoaverse and set up shop with their own interest.
Slowly manipulated the user base to choose a side.
That is when it became voat.....right before the mass subreddit closes.
Also when the donate button was lost....that was SRS from.reddit by posting jb and showing to paypal...I had screen shots of their post on reddit where one admitted it.
It has now been archived 1200 times over with each time a new edit.....these people know what they are doing, and I say 1200 because that is how many I went through before I gave up.
Thanks for that history, I didn't know some of that.
