That is nuts. I expected the chans to get banned in NZ, but voat in AUS is more far-reaching than I would've imagined. Authorities down there are being so reactionary, it's frightening, tbh. That whole "bastion of freedom" imagine NZ and AUS spent the last 50 years building is very quickly going down the toilet

Not surprising I guess, all this reactionary stuff had to come from somewhere. But to those abroad, the way the NZ and AUS authorities are reacting is seriously damaging their image in a very visible and public way. It is a signal, an indicator of where their heads are at, and right now the whole world is paying attention
