I'll stick around. I feel like my comments might actually get read around here. Makes me want to type more of the up.

Lol. Ass. Me and you, we might end up good friends.

Most of the reason I'm here is to spite reddit and rejoin my community. I never want to go back to that site. Voat has a lot of potential. The only thing I hope they come out with soon is a mobile app. I do most of my browsing at work and it's just easier to use an app.

There are a few out there already: Versa, Vulcan and Boats for Votes. The apps are pretty rudimentary at the moment though, only Boats allows you to login and comment as far as i know.

I will stay here. But a lot of subreddits that i subscribed to don't have many people migrating to Voat, so i guess i'll use both too until most of them migrate.

That's how I am. I was subbed to a few really small subs on Reddit, that aren't up and running yet over here. Hopefully I can be a part of making that happen. I am only wading until Voat proves to be stable in the long term though.

I can see an inherent flaw with the idea that all Redditors who migrate will be satiated with their experience here. There's a huge lack of content comparably and to be honest, I think many will just visit both sites until the Voat community grows large enough that it is truly a good substitute. It has more potential for growth than Reddit at this point. The U.I. is far better in many respects including, but not limited to, chat interface, voting system, upvote limits (debatable), etc. Also, the lack of censorship thus far has appealed to many. If I was savvy enough with modern social media to deem Reddit a good investment of my money, I would be shitting myself. And, dependent on how the next few months play out I would look to take my investment capitol to a different project.

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.

The upvoat/downvoat counter makes me stay forever.
Also, the community seems much better here than it was on reddit. Mainly because reddit was crowded with people, and you could rarely have your own opinion expressed and noticed. But here, you can do that. And because it's in alpha it makes you contribute more. Feels good.

Can't agree with you more, I mainly lurked on Reddit and had an account for 3 years. I have probably contributed more to Voat in 4 days than I have in Reddit in 3 years. Plus I'm motivated to get my upvoat restriction removed :)

I'm working on getting my downvoats, so I can help silence the trolls...
But I like upvoating too!
[–] Flowne [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Ye I have the same feeling!
[–] Rocket_Surgeon_ 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I feel similar. Reddit has gotten a bit too bloated. Every comment thread is the same lame pun train that never stops.
Voat threads feel a bit more fresh in comparison.
