This post got me excited about joining Voat and excited about the internet all over again! Can't wait to see what's to come :). Thanks for posting

Thanks for the brief orientation, and for providing another forum that's open to everyone. I didn't know Voat existed until it kept being mentioned during recent events. I've been visiting Reddit for several years now, but I think it's a good idea to start looking around for alternative sites to have uncensored discussions.

This is a great write up for the new folk, I've been here ages but I appreciate you taking the time to do this :D

Now that Voat is finally online, I'm looking around and so far I'm surprised. Because of the /r/fatpeoplehate exodus, I'll admit I was expecting a place full of hate. Seems more like Voat is dedicated to free speech, which is a much more logical way to do things. I don't see what was so difficult about simply avoiding /r/fatpeoplehate if you didn't like its message (it's certainly what I was doing) instead of the shady censorship they've been introducing. What if because I'm an atheist I were to demand the religious subs to be taken down, or vice-versa? You can't have one or the other, you need ALL groups to have a voice.
I'm still a little hesitant so I created a throwaway to browse around for a bit. That stigma of "Voat must be hateful" is still with me, hopefully I'll find enough to enjoy about this new place and can ignore the inevitable vitriol.

Well, been an on and off reddit reader for a while, and this seems a friendlier place to post. And the parts of reddit I was visiting were pretty friendly. I will say this: unlike reddit, voat actually has a half-decent interface. I probably will stick around on reddit too, though, if only for things like IamA, and askascientist. And /r/awww. Cute animals ftw.

Hey there! Just jumped the redditship and found you guys. Thank you for the brief rundown it's kinda like being the new kid in school. I will try my best to learn the ways of the Voat.
