I plan on staying. This place gives me a chance to submit content and not just be ignored or down-voted to hell. Reddit's censorship also just pissed me off. I believe in freedom of expression and access to information. I understand they are a private corporation and can run the site as they will. But I also do not have to support them if our values do not align. Plus, they took away FPH, which was one of the biggest reasons I even used the site. There are plenty of cat pictures here as well to keep me satisfied.
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 think I'll stick around. I still check reddit occasionally though, but it seems bland now, not much going on anymore apart from the occasional decent thread.
