根據[[連線|連線雜誌]]，Voat「的外觀和功能都與[[Reddit]]相似」（{{lang|en|aesthetically and functionally similar to Reddit}}）<ref name="#1">{{cite news|last1=Kamen|first1=Matt|title=Reddit in revolt over anti-harrassment policy enforcement|url=http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/11/reddit-revolt|accessdate=2015-06-12|work=Wired|date=2015-06-11|archive-date=2016-04-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410204727/http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/11/reddit-revolt}}</ref>。Voat是由已註冊用戶的貼文所集成的，基本上是一個[[電子佈告欄系統]]。可是，這兩個網站也有分別<ref name=Verge>{{cite web|url=http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/10/8924415/voat-reddit-competitor-free-speech|title=Welcome to Voat: Reddit killer, troll haven, and the strange face of internet free speech|last=Robertson|first=Adi|website=[[The Verge]]|publisher=[[Vox Media]]|date=2015-07-10|accessdate=2015-07-10|archive-date=2022-03-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318153748/https://www.theverge.com/2015/7/10/8924415/voat-reddit-competitor-free-speech}}</ref>，例如與Reddit不同，Voat是使用[[C♯]]編寫，而不是使用[[Python]]編寫<ref name=Wired2>{{cite web |url=http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/22/reddit-rival-voatco-killed-by-hosting-company |title=Reddit rival Voat.co killed by hosting company |last=Kamen |first=Matt |website=[[Wired UK]] |publisher=[[Condé Nast]] |date=2015-06-22 |accessdate=2015-07-08 |archive-date=2016-05-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160515012423/http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/22/reddit-rival-voatco-killed-by-hosting-company }}</ref><ref name=VoatAbout>{{cite web|url=https://voat.co/about|title=About Voat - Who's the team behind this|accessdate=2015-02-26|website=Voat|archive-date=2015-02-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150225160306/https://voat.co/about|dead-url=no}}</ref>，它亦限制了一個用戶管理「subverse」的數目<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.calcalist.co.il/internet/articles/0,7340,L-3664447,00.html |title=המתחרה השווייצרי של רדיט מבטיח לשמור על ניטרליות |date=2015-07-15 |access-date=2015-08-22 |archive-date=2017-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116083001/https://www.calcalist.co.il/internet/articles/0,7340,L-3664447,00.html }}</ref>。Voat亦設有「晚上模式」，把預設的白色主題變成較深色的主題，網站設有即時通知系統，亦採用了[[響應式網頁設計]]。Voat的用戶亦需要有一定的數目的「留言貢獻分數」（{{langx|en|Comment Contribution Points}}），才可以對貼文投下票，用戶亦有他們自己的個人資料頁。在Voat上的貼文亦與Reddit不同，容許內嵌圖像和視頻<ref>{{cite web | url=https://voat.co/v/announcements/comments/28550 | title=Is WhoaVerse just a reddit clone? | accessdate=2015-08-22 | archive-date=2015-07-13 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713195337/https://voat.co/v/announcements/comments/28550 | dead-url=no }}</ref>。

「Voat」名稱的由來是因為與英文「{{lang|en|Vote}}」（投票）的發音相同<ref name="NameChange" />，網站的吉祥物是一隻山羊<ref name=MW>{{cite web |url=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/voat-creator-speaks-on-reddit-refugees-plans-for-future-2015-07-10 |title=Creator of surging Reddit rival Voat: We will avoid same mistakes |last=Poletti |first=Therese |website=[[MarketWatch]] |publisher=[[Dow Jones & Company]] |date=2015-07-10 |accessdate=2015-07-11 |archive-date=2015-07-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710210314/http://www.marketwatch.com/story/voat-creator-speaks-on-reddit-refugees-plans-for-future-2015-07-10 |dead-url=no }}</ref>。Voat使用[[哥倫比亞]]的頂級域名[[.co]]。
