Thanks @Smallest_Skil for your suggestion about Gab :) I added it to the list.
Gab is now both open source & federated. This means it has stronger privacy and stronger security. Back in 2017-2018 when I reviewed Gab those were not fully available.
I love Voat but unfortunately Voat is presently exposed to too high risk of being abuse. In summary because its software code is not owned be a community & not fully open source, and its infrastructure is not decentralized.
Below is the same answer as above but with details if you’re interested in those
For example, but not limited to this, I was censure and or block many times on Voat. I lost track of how many times, LOL ;) But I have not yet being censored or block with all the other first 6 options I listed above.
There is too much risk of abuses with Voat. Risk such as censorship, unethical or illegal reselling of users' data, and spying on its users, and interruption of services.
Why those risks? Because:
• Its software code is owned by a for-profit organization and the code is closed source. Instead of being own by a community and being open source. It’s well known that open source code has stronger security and stronger privacy. Mostly because more people are able to review the code and contribute.
• Its network is centralized. Instead of being decentralized. Centralized is bad because it is WITH one single point of failure. Compare to decentralized is good because it is WITHOUT a single point of failure.
Also Voat full software code is not available for public review & contribution. Using open source code is NOT to confuse with the full software code available for public review & contribution. Source at https://archive.md/oSRc1#selection-1031.0-1203.10
As you know Qanon fully endorsed Voat QRV subverse. So I still see value in using Voat. But presently it is not my first choice.
Feel really free to use any social media and or Voat subverses to your liking :)
