Your logic checks out. If it is a containment zone or honey pot, that could get really dangerous for the users.
I noticed a lot of posts advocating for violence, a lot of people calling those posters shills, and debate between what constitutes a threat. It really does set alarm bells off.
Poal now is like what voat used to be, in my humble opinion.
The recent VPN endorsement actually spooked me out. I've noticed a weird change in tone over the years, the last year or so it's felt really artificial, but that was just what made me legitimately uncomfortable. Not that the rest of the site isn't crawling with heebery, but like... that endorsement is a little scary considering what it entails.
Did you see KevDude calling out all the new accounts replying with endorsements of PIA? Many only hours old
