Voat is the source code for a Reddit-style social news and discussion platform built on ASP.NET Core 2 with PostgreSQL, featuring user-submitted links, voting, and moderated subverses. The project is no longer maintained, with its last release in 2018 and the site itself defunct.
Use cases
- self-host a reddit-like link aggregator
- run a community voting and discussion forum
- study a real-world asp.net core social platform codebase
- deploy a forum with user moderation and subcommunities
- fork a social news site with voting and comments
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted reddit-style community platform and are willing to maintain legacy .NET code yourself
- you need a reference codebase for studying ASP.NET Core social platform architecture
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, secure forum or social platform for production use
- you are not comfortable with .NET Core 2 preview-era code and an unapproved license
- you want modern features like activitypub federation or mobile apps
