I've been thinking for quite some time about this and I think we should have a little chat about it. Since we migrated from reddit the community never really got back to its normal high activity self. In the early days of the migration voat wasn't as good as it is today from both the users and mods perspective. A lot has improved and I think we need to look at voat in general to get a feeling of where we should take this sub.
On reddit there was a great need for a place like /r/european. Where people could speak openly about topics silenced by the mods of /r/europe etc. But here the political subs etc. are very uncensored and thus the service we provide seems a bit useless. Therefore I think that it would be good to take this sub into a more nationalistic direction. There's a lot of subs to talk politics and news in but few where you can talk about nationalism, nationalistic interests in Europe etc. Considering that 90% of the people who came over from reddit are nationalists I think we can do way more by catering to ourselves rather than just being a free speech zone.
I know some of you don't like the idea and it is why I want everyone to speak their mind. But I'm personally just tired of seeing the community not be active, and it makes me, the mod team and old users alike lose interest. It's a bit of a shitty spiral where everyone is demotivated which means that we don't live up to our full potential.
So what is your opinion on changing the direction if this sub?

You take this sub whatever direction you want. I just want the ability to fucking down vote shit topics (aut-right/trolls/etc.), but Voat says I'm not allowed to because I've down voted more than I've up voted. The fuck is that shit? Voat's anti-spam shit does nothing but hurt legitimate users, kind of like anti-piracy bullshit.
Anyway, you mean make this place v/EuropeanNationalism? You know what I liked about r/European, that I don't like about r/EuropeanNationalism? No American topics. I come here for Europe. I get my American shit elsewhere.

Yeah it's shit at times. But it also serves a purpose and that is to keep Voat clean from the downvote brigades that are the cancer of reddit.
The reason /r/europeannationalism got burger content is that they shut down all their outlets. I'd rather have them feel the heat. But I agree, I like to get more European stuff.

voat needs an app as good as bacon reader for reddit.
The only reason I ever got interested in reddit was because of bacon reader.
Boats for Voat just isn't as good, not even close. I can't seem to log on and in long threads some replies repeat themselves.

You need full time researchers who can catalog all the injustices that individual native-born, white, non-homosexual/tranny Europeans are facing. Build that and sites like Infowars, Dailystormer, Breinbart, and more will pick it up, just like they did on the Cologne New Year Mass-Rape of German Women in 2015/6. Now the group seems to be a receptacle for articles and not so much a generator of research for the small, but anti-globalist news sites. That r/European site changed the world and was itself integral in getting Donald Trump elected to the Presidency of the United States.

And who'd pay for all that work?
