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.

What he fails to get is that there is a substantive difference between early adopters (migrators in this case). You have to 1) be capable of finding the new thing, 2) prefer non-mass produced ideas/content, 3) be able to see the writing on the wall of the place you are leaving.

This is not to say that there are not early adopters/migrators who are a couple of french fries short of a happy meal. However the average early adopter/migrators is different than those who have stayed with reddit.

I remember when people acted like reddit was a super-secret club. They didn't want people to mention reddit outside of reddit. They wanted their own codewords and shit. You had people doing the same, "I've been here longer than you" shit. It was all very dumb.

The problem is not about smugness. The problem is getting an influx of people who are only concerned about getting offended and downvoating everything that might slightly hurt their feelings.

I don't think I've ever seen people bash newcomers for this reason.

Part of what made Reddit good was the diversity of content. Once they started pasteurizing and homogenizing it became jejune. I welcome exposure to people and viewpoints I disagree with, and may have an initial dislike to. It's much more interesting that way, and if all you want is an echo-chamber of similar-thinking people, you can restrict yourself to the select subverses that sing your song.

The only difference between reddit and voat, is that reddit had tons more content and a much larger user base which forces better content to the top for being better through votes while flushing out the garbage.
