You think Voat is run by Zionists? Why do they talk so much shit about Zionsts and Jews then?

It's meant as a controlled opposition mechanism. Also, one of the founders of Reddit founded Voat itself.

I don't think the founders of voat had anything to do with reddit

Founded in April 2014 as WhoaVerse, the website was a hobby project of Atif Colo (known on Voat as @Atko), then a student pursuing a BSc, who was later joined by Justin Chastain (known as @PuttItOut).

I've been playing close attention to all this since it started and that's the first time I've ever heard someone say that reddit founders also made voat. If you have a source on that though, I'm all ears

Voat probably is a honeypot or something at this point though, I'd agree with that.

I read it on one of the front page mod announcements a while ago. Not sure how to find it, though, it's been a couple years at least.

How do you think Voat operates as a honeypot?

By making militant far-right people think they are in good company. And then when some of them start getting organized to actually do stuff IRL, the FBI shows up

they could just collect information on the users too, maybe?
