I never left reddit completely. Several sub-reddits (e.g., photography) have better links and discussions than voat. But as the voat subverses have bulked up, I've found the balance of my time shifting to voat.

I feel like reddit is trying to hard now to make sure nobody's feelings get hurt, and that was even before the Fattening. By hiding votes and banning subs, they are basically trying to bleach reddit.
right now the site is kinda functional, so I'm spending some time over there simply because it works (in the technical sense) and there are some subreddits that haven't been created over here yet (and I don't really have the desire to be the top mod of any subverse and everything that entails). once things really get going over here and a decent android app developed (the ones here now are beta-like to the point of being just out of alpha in my opinion) I'll be over here more.

I will be here and there until voat becomes a little more mainstream, you can't pass the content reddit has with such a low user base and less content creators

When I first started browsing Reddit (admittedly it was only about 2 years ago), everything felt fresh. Now, a lot of the post titles felt clickbaity. Then there was the drama, and the meme trains, and the tired pun threads (which were funny at first, but quickly lost their appeal). That's part of why I'm here. But I also like contributing and being heard.

I have been actively searching for an alternative to Reddit since about august of 2014. The sheer amount of poorly spliced, recycled and overall ignorant content was becoming a bit much. All that in addition to /r/funny & /r/pics essentially becoming Facebook pt2, Over-moderation, obviously racist and violent subs being allowed to stay while others were banned just sent me over the edge.
I plan on staying while still using the smaller subreddits until another migration occurs. I am just glad there is an alternative.

Exactly this! I recently came across subreddits where they would post pics of people that were dead or had been murdered, or dead babies.. some subreddits were really really sick..
