Ah, Voat. Thinking back, I cringe at the fact that I was quite a prominent user in it's very early days, before it got took over by antisemitism etc. Before the FPH crowd and others who were banned from Reddit came over, it was a reasonably nice place where otherwise-silenced (/"uncomfortable") topics coule be discussed in a fairly pleasant and intellectual way (sometimes). I even bought some merch to support the site when ako (or w/e the founder's username was?) was complaining about running out of money for the site.
A good example was that I actually remember discussinf about the increasing rate of transexuality amongst children on there (what could be the causes, the consequences, etc.), all the way back in circa 2015. 8 years before it became such a hot-button topic...
Voat never went away though - Poal was created and the entire, quite angry and detestable, userbase migrated.
There will always be a spectrum of humans, and every spectrum has two ends, and there will probably always be the "80% middle" forums, and the "10% ends" forums...
