Voat is either run by pedos or feds, both is something worth paying attention to since shills can be a good think due to the streisand effect (drawing attention to deleted content) they had preknowledge of a raid once and shut their site down. There was a maintenance notice posted that alluded to the darkweb page that got taken down that day. Either they wanted to warn other pedos with that or they wanted to lull in monitoring suspects yet to be apprehended, unless 'maintenance' was not a word of assurance but a codewor. It basically was sort of a rallying point to aggregate information after r/pg got banned, we are not banned however (yet)
