I agree with everything you said except the image macro. I'd never have thought of them as substandard. Also would i be right in say that a lot of what you consider as substandard can be summed up as "no reposts"?

To be clear, 2 things:
If only there was a way to have those dumb shitposts just in v/new without getting upvoated like crazy just because of their brevity.
Kinda comes down to one of the main issues with the voting model in general. No idea how that kind of thing can be fixed except really dedicated community members to keeping shit off the front page. But at the same time, there just isnt enough not-shit to populate the front page of any subverse at any given time, so the shit fills the gaps.

Exactly, the benefits of running a smaller community is focus and audience. Noone feels comfortable throwing themselves into the bottomless pit of large subreddits only to be ignored. Guaranteed attention - by the smaller and slower nature of Voat right now - means posts should be higher quality. Don't let previous bad habits follow you here from reddit.

To be honest, although I read almost every post in this sub that I see, I have a standing rule with myself to not upgoat anything from this sub because there is just so much hitting the front page and most of out is pretty unoriginal. I don't downgoat, but I also won't help it flood the front page.
I apologize for my video-linkage. Spur of the moment and won't happen again.
Ride on, /v/meanwhileonreddit! Spectator sport of the year.

Don't apologize. I didn't have any one user or any one post in mind when I wrote that.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any and all shitposts I have made in your subverse. Particularly this one, since Brony hate is an old meme

This needs to be a stick on the top of Voat. Just because people can't downvoat yet, doesn't mean it's carte blanche for shit posting.
