I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.

I thought Voat was mostly defunct now.

It is. Shut down in 2020.

Boat is a sad story. The site itself was very good. When Reddit purged their worst subs and users, they all went to Voat. Predictably it became extremely toxic.

That could have been avoided by establishing a counter-culture there, but it seems that this has not been tried well enough. It's still sad to see the decline of alternatives to almost every large website out there.
