I don't see that any of this is relevant. The point of Voat is to upvote good content and downvote bad content. If he posts something of poor quality, you guarantee somebody will call it out in the comments and it will be downvoted. And even that is valuable -- If something is disagreeable or of poor quality, there is valuable discussion to be had in conversing on why that is.
I don't quite following you here... How does posting links found on Reddit make Voat an "echo chamber"?
Why is this important? I don't come to Voat to read an OP's comments on a link, I come here to browse the links. And he has provided a ton of content for me to browse.
Honest question: Why does his posting activity bother you enough to start a dedicated discussion? Voat is a small community that benefits from content, and he is providing. He's not spamming as none of this benefits him personally or financially. He's posting legitimate links to things that warrant discussion. I honestly don't agree that this is adversely affecting the site in any way, which makes me question why it seems to bother you so much.

So basically you don't want Voat, you want an RSS feeder.

Incorrect. Community discussion is a key part of the experience for me, which should be evident by my comment history. I've left 56 comments in the 13 days I've been a member here, which amounts to just over four per day. In fact, I even touched on the value of discussion in the very post that you're replying to:
So I'm not sure why you're ignoring everything else I said, including three honest questions, in order to make an incorrect, one sentence long snap judgment that you could have easily answered for yourself had you read my comment fully. That's kind of ironic considering that the point of this entire discussion thread is to examine what does and does not constitute as quality content on Voat, no?
