People can't really say Voat is all that and reddit is total shit, they're basically the same site the difference is leadership. I haven't been around Voat long enough to see how admins act, so i'm reserving judgement until a serious problem shows up.

Bashing reddit? I think they were trying to bash censorship, no? They don't seem to care for the new CEO much either.

I decided to check voat out and might do that boycott thing tomorrow but right now it just feels like a second reddit to me. That isn't a bad thing and I appreciate some of the features here that reddit lacks, but I think that the sites are too similar for one to feel significantly different from the other.

Saw that happen with 8ch when the first exodus from 4chan happened. There was a ton of shitposting and elitism for the first few weeks. Once the cancer posts started dropping everything became rather normal (by chan standards). And I expect Voat will deal with the same. Give it about 2-3 weeks, once the new car smell starts to wear off.

Oh god. Maybe I don't want this place to get super big? I just didn't want to be on Reddit because Reddit sucks.
I was actually perfectly content with where we were a week ago.

That sucks. I didn't downvote you btw.
So there Is nothing about Reddit you would change except the censorship?

I fully expect this place to become a "Reddit Jr." The difference will be in how the administrators and moderators deal with the users. I feel like Reddit has rolled out the iron fist to swing the banhammer rather than deal with underlying problems whereas Voat has a chance to do things differently.

Anyone thinking that this place shouldn't become the replacement for Reddit simply hasn't understood that you can't have a place like 4chan without the spooky side.
