I like the native ability on reddit to highlight people by marking them as a friend. I use it to mark people who I've noticed consistently make interesting comments, so that I see more of their comments in comment-heavy submissions.

I don't want actual "social" features.

Yeah. There were times I bumped into interesting people on the other board and I would tag them as a "friend" to keep tabs on them and see what they were up to. One guy I remember was from Venezuela and it was interesting to read his opinion on what was going on over there.

Voat allows me anonymity. If friends came into play, things will turn into Facebook; all we would see is everyone's highlight reel. Not their true selves.

I don't think a highlight reel would be a good idea. But I do think just a friends list, with some basic features would be neat.

People would be able to look at your posts. That will definitely affect what they choose to put online.

We came to Voat because it promised us freedom in what we could post. A friends list would damage that freedom.
