I'll offer up /v/fort (Friends Of Reddit Transparency) for any and all reddit shitposting to deflect the low effort stuff, will you help promote it as a viable alternative in the sidebar?
This was IMO one of the biggest patterns missing on reddit, promoting a place to put the stuff you don't want in your sub.
If /r/worldnews promoted /r/worldpolitics for instance or /r/politics cooperated with /r/politic instead of fighting it.

Thanks for offering this. I'm going to seriously consider it.

I've also created /v/shitredditspez for documenting Spez's glorious new vision for reddit.

It's a shame you can't have a way for mods of one subverse to move posts to another one. So you'd have a MeanwhileOnReddit.deleted as a default for mods move to. However they could also have /v/fort as an alternative if the mods of /v/fort allowed it.
So you wouldn't really have deletion, just moving.

This is why we can't have nice things. I agree with you.

This is what happens when you get what you want --- people from reddit migrating to voat.

Who says we want people migrating from reddit to voat?
[–] WakkaWAKKA 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I don't. But it's probably going to happen anyway.

As per Genghis_Khan:
The slightly more subtle secondary purpose is that it is a place for frustrated users to let out some steam instead of yammering incessantly about reddit in other subs.
And here I am letting out some steam.
17 other voaters seemed to think it was a good way to do that, and yet Genghis_Khan deletes the submission.
So we're supposed to hang out and talk about how reddit is going down the tubes on account of censorship, in a subverse that is itself now turning into a cesspool of censorship? Wow, they get just a little bit of power and look at what they become!

Your post was removed because it was off topic. Sorry, man.

Well said. All of it. I want to know what's actually going on, not have a circlejerk. And while we are at it, lets try to make everything about voat better than Reddit as well. I don't see it as a Reddit alternative. We are building something new. My small part is trying to help with better design for subs, specifically the banners. If you have a sub, or see a sub that needs a banner you can submit banner requests to /v/bannerrequests, or message a mod to request a banner for their sub. Also, if you are handy with graphic design or photoshop please feel free to subscribe and jump in to help out with the requests as they come in.
