I lurked for a long time and created my account a little before the Exodus.
I am not going back to reddit, I find here to be way better. It is not only the matter of censorship (which I find very important) but also the community here seams better, the discussions are more interesting. I really hope that Voat does not becomes reddit 2.0, with threads filled with puns and silly jokes that add nothing, instead of actual discussion.

Somehow, I find this website much more refreshing than Reddit. I think I'll stay here for a bit, but chances are I'll visit both sites till Voat can build up enough content that can keep me here permanently.
Voat has a lot of potential though! I like the chatterbox at side, although I haven't seen anyone use it yet. I think it's a good idea though, for small questions and things that don't actually require a new thread being made.
My staying depends on how the community grows. You can't "join" reddit, you make an account and make comments that will be drowned out by everyone else who has been there for longer than you. Voat is small enough that doesn't happen, and the community makes it sound like that won't happen. I plan on staying for a while, especially since reddit is probably going to shrink anyways now.

I never liked Reddit and rarely used it. You can't even look at the ugly mess of a site. It is so mid 2000's. Blue links? Meme after meme? Pun after Pun? That's all it is.
I tried to upload a trailer doc, did not mark it TRAILER, they had a big discussion between mods on it and when someone mentioned VOAT and I said I would take a look there to see if I could upload my Doc trailer I IMMEDIATELY got a message I was banned from documentaries.

I'm going to stay, it feels good to get in on that proverbial ground level. Reddit was too circlejerky and I lot tired of seeing the same inside jokes over and over. Also the voting system seems better thought out.

I dunno. I was getting a bit bored of reddit, and coming here feels like something fresh.
