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.

Everything I have read so far about Voat makes me happy. Glad the site is starting to work better. Is anyone else having an issue loading an avatar?

Just had a look, I can't load an avatar either, I get an error message along the lines of, "Please upload a .jpeg or .png", but the file I was trying to upload is a .jpeg. Might be part of the issues from the weekend's events?

Good to know it's not just me doing something wrong.

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.

Oh, given all the pressure Voat is under, I think the rule of thumb of "legal content only" isn't a bad one.

As a former redditor, I NEVER LIKED CATS AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT anymore.

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.

That's how I started. I had no plans to leave Reddit, but after a while Voat grew on me. Eventually it replaced Reddit completely.

Thank you for taking the time to write this! It's super helpful, especially for people like me who are still scoping out subverses and such. :)
