I found out about the policy change shortly after I came to voat. The desire to leave came after three failed submissions to ELI5 on a harmless and miniscule question. Twice the auto moderator removed my posts for improper formatting and when the third one finally went through I was berated for asking a question that had already been asked before. Scant minutes later I learned that my submission was removed on the grounds of the question having been previously asked. If I just wanted an answer, I could have gone to Google for that, I asked on ELI5 to foster a dialog, fuck me right?
It was just shitty, and unnecessarily authoritarian. After that I took a look at my user account and realized that so much of it was regurgitated quotes and memes, with no real content or anything worthwhile to say. That was when I realized how much wasted effort reddit had become for me.
