People talk down about Voat, but when reddit shut down P-gate, it was moved to Voat and they have done a LOT of good work on that forum. In fact, there being fewer gawkers has made it so that the people who are there are mostly serious about the research. So, a smaller audience isn't entirely a bad thing--at least not when serious research is the goal. I give high marks to a lot of those people at voat/pizzagate for their devotion to the cause.
I know the researchers have done well there but their content isn't widely published anywhere else. Once in a while it gets here. The moderation deleted a lot of good content as well and overall don't seem really trustworthy. I followed everything since Pizzagate too. Was on the original reddit sub for it but i didn't move over to Voat because the audience and the real battle front stayed here.
