There is a number of factors to voat, and freespeech is only one. Others are down votes, dominating personalities ,lack of any opposition combined to suppress any opposition. I think there is multiple ways you can avoid voat while still having absolute free speech, and optional moderation is one good way. Look how well post collapsing works on Notabug.

notabug.io (which I think has a pretty neat concept) and free

Notabug is alpha, a lot of the features are incomplete. Developer is gone too.
