Voat Inc (/ˈvoʊt/; styled VOΛT) was an American alt-tech[1] news aggregator and social networking service where registered community members could submit content such as text posts and direct links. Registered users could then vote on these submissions. Content entries were organized by areas of interest called "subverses".[2][3] The website was widely described as a Reddit clone[4] and a hub for the alt-right.[9] Voat CEO Justin Chastain made an announcement on December 22, 2020 that Voat would shut down.[10] The site was shut down on December 25, 2020.[11]
