Reddit clone Voat, home to hate speech and QAnon, has shut down

I post this here because five years ago, Geth set us up with a Voat account.  And I'm hoping that we weren't active there given its history.  In fact, since it appears it was founded explicitly as a home for hate speech and racism, why the hell did we have an account there at all?

Because at the time, they were simply an alternative to Reddit, and I wanted to expand our social media presence.

What they became I had no part in and frankly our Voat presence was barely active at all.

Note: Our Voat presence was simply to be a counterpart of our Reddit presence, that is all I ever intended. While I am an absolute advocate of all speech so long as it is not inherently criminal by its very nature, our Voat presence had nothing to do with spreading either, and I remember insisting on civility and obedience to the rule of law there like I have on Reddit.
