content: I don't understand all the voat hate There are good reasons to have subs on reddit, mainly to redpill normies, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about where our HQ should be. A lot of babybrains are out there talking about "muh new platform, coming soon" and shitting on voat. The voat creators welcomed r/MDE with open arms, they are down with for realsies free speech. I'm not sure why these php script kiddies think they're gonna outdo this pretty decent platform. If you want to do something, make an app for this site - I believe there's already an API. The only legit criticism of voat is that it is not decentralized, but the decentralized platforms (like matrix) are all complicated to use, slow, and no one uses them. I will shill for voat until the day I die. —- update: someone pointed out the SSL cert for this site is a spy cert which is definitely worth noting. Don’t use DM on here obv. there are secure platforms out there for private groups. As far as this public forum here, the SSL issue is irrelevant.
