'''Voat.co''' is a "community platform where you can have your say. No [[censorship]]," a website that mimics content and format of [[Reddit]] whereby you vote up or down submitted entries. The co-founder is Atif Colo. Originally called WhoaVerse in 2014, they changed their name to Voat in 2015 and incorporated in the USA. The site's mascot is a goat and technically they are still in Alpha deployment.

As Reddit grew large and accepted public financing, they original mission of free speech was shuttered. Users and groups were blocked that were not [[politically correct]]. This led to a surge of members quitting and joining Voat. Each new Reddit outrage leads to massive new memberships at Voat. So much so that Voat falls victim to overloaded servers. Reddit is so far left on the political spectrum that conservatives are effectively banned from submissions to the politics category. As a result, Voat's politics subverse is overwhelmingly populated with rightwingers.
