is it worth the switch?
Sweet Baby Jesus YES! I created my account here about 5 weeks ago, deleted my reddit account the very next day, and have never looked back. There have been connectivity hiccups due to the massive influx and DDOS attacks, but the advantages of a vastly superior community and admins that aren't dicks outweigh any technological disadvantages.

I was relatively new to reddit as a member, i didnt even lurk much. I started going regularly over the past 3 months or so. That's were i learned about Voat. Within hours of creating my Voat account and lurking a bit, I felt comfortable enough to start submitting content, asking questions, and generally being an active member.
things i like about Voat versus reddit:
The community at Voat seems to be way nicer and more intellectual
Very little intimidation on being an active member
Comments are actually far more enjoyable in my opinion. Everything is not one giant inside joke or circlejerk
Overall better tone and feel than the other place
Its up to you, however, i like it here.. and will be sticking around! Welcome to Voat!!

Hey now, comparatively speaking :) ... I dont feel the need to shower after hanging out in most of Voats subverses. Spend an hour or two on most subreddits, and even my Dog who eats Kitty litter looks at me with this shameful, judgmental eyes!
This place may have a smaller community but the comments are usually more engaging.
Since I've been here I've had a bunch of nice discussions, instead of everything being so meme based all the time.
I love it. The community here is much smaller and that is one of the biggest perks, as far as I am concerned. I actually recognize usernames and get a feel for contributors here which is something that did not really happen much over on Reddit. The catch 22 is that fewer people=less new content but all in all, I do prefer voat.

Interesting, I will definitely be trying it out! I just wish there was a mobile app. That would be nice

The mobile website IMO is very usable. The only downside is you don't get inbox notifications, but for me that's far from a dealbreaker.

There is one on android called Boats for Voat, but its not working right now due to the DDOS attack.

You use the term intellectual loosely :p

Less quantity, more quality. Little to no censorship, visible bans, etc. It's basically what Reddit was supposed to be.

It's a nice place to hang.

As others have mentioned, the comments are usually more informative and engaging.
One thing that I have enjoyed, is not having to scroll down to avoid the stupid pun threads that usually make it to the top of every post.

I thought so.
