Voat used to have more libertarians but they've been less active and visible over time as the structure of the site re-inforces the views of the more dominant authoritarians.

In theory Voat's policy is fairly libertarian, but the selection biases of its growth and the dynamics of CCP restrictions and signup gating have molded it into a near mirror image of the worst communities reddit has banned but worse because they have less and less connection to other views and more power to exclude others via CCP.

Ironically Voat democratically excludes democratic or non-authoritarian views.
