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.

I plan on staying here. I came to Voat after the whole FPH thing, never visited the sub but the censorship and advertising was getting out of hand. It's clear to me that Reddit is essentially unfixable at this point and Ellen Pao is just making it worse so...here I am. I still have an account with reddit but I unsubbed from all the defaults, only using it when i'm bored and can't get on Voat.

I'd like to switch permanently if possible, just depends on if it can get active and populated enough here.
The community from what I've seen so far does seem much better, but that may just be because of how small it is comparatively, will just have to see what happens i guess.

Hopefully I'll be here long term. I like seeing the upvote/downvote counter. I don't like having to go through the initial phase of being limited on upvotes and downvotes. Once the communities grow some, it will all round out.
I came to voat in the censorship mass migration.

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.
