4chan /pol, the original cesspool for this stuff, was created as a “containment board” to try to get the Nazi edgelord shit off other boards on the site. It didn’t work. Instead it grew there until it about took over the whole site.

A separate site like Voat may be a bit different though. That is more of a closed ghetto for it.
