https://web.archive.org/web/20201223085446/https://voat.co/top?span=allThat is a link to the archived Voat sorted by "Top>All", meaning you get to see the top vote getting posts in the history of the site. Some of those go back basically to the beginning of the site. Take time to go through the comment sections to really understand what was going on back then.
After you go through that page, I'd suggest sorting by "Top>Year" to get the top posts from the last year of the site. You'll notice that you can sort by "Top>Quarter, Month, Week, and Day" too, and I suggest doing that.
Sure, a solid documentary should someday be made about the experience we all had there, but I think it's even cooler that a person can still interact with the ghost of the site in the way I described and truly understand the debates and issues we had.
EDIT: Some strange formatting glitch going on...I didn't type stuff out twice, it's just presenting it that way for some reason. I've tried a few things to fix it, but nothing's working.

SBBH logic. Everyone was benned at some point, then unbanned, then banned again. For everything, for nothing. And when they couldn't ban him, they made him a mod. It was basically just a game.
