THE VERGE - Dec 23 - Voat, an "anti-censorship" alternative social network that's been described as the "alt-right Reddit," is scheduled to shut down on December 25th. Voat co-founder Justin Chastain announced the pending closure, saying the site had run out of money after an investor defaulted on their contract in March. Voat was founded in 2014 and hosted Reddit-like forums with minimal moderation. However, Voat faced chronic funding and technical problems, as well as denial-of-service attacks and an apparent warning from law enforcement about threats made on the site.
