I've been watching this sub very closely as the mini-migration happens.
There are a number of elements in play here.
We have the usual (and welcome) straight up nutters, dis-info trolls and the rest of us who simply question the presented narrative.
The only people I'm worried about are those that participate for the express intent of 'disrupting to discredit' that took over r/conspiracy a long time ago.
My account is the same as the reddit user, which is itself an alt of a veeeeeeery long time r/conspiracy participant.
The only answer to any issues of 'take over' or 'overthrow' is transparency, Shine light on everything, discuss all things with the exclusion of attacking individuals. For as long as you ignore edrama you starve trolls and time wasters of entertainment.
As for the mod issue; the only real way to solve that quandary is to make all issues related to who is and is not a mod openly discussed in the subverse itself.

I think this is the only thing brought up by this other individual that I agree with, I would like to see Voat implement a site wide system that allows for moderation transparency, similar to undelete/uncensorship.

Yeah I'm with transparency running the ship, with a possibility of explanation for why it was deleted and maybe just censoring banned photos but keeping the post and have a flag on it in the post or send to v/undeletesubvoatamajigy

Atko said that they have plans for a public log of all moderator action. Obviously it isn't live yet but when it is I think we'll see a stark change in how subs are moderated and how the contributors can respond to that. Without being able to shadowban or moderate in secret moderators will be held to a standard that they weren't at reddit, and that means only good things for the future.

I second this. We can't 100% prevent rot but we sure can slow it down a lot. Transparency is one of those things that slow it down.
