Gotta say, I have been actively following the events from the beginning of the FPH and IAMA drama but I guess I was just able to shrug it off. Seeing now how the conspiracy seems to be true I just decided to jump ship. The administration of reddit just seems to dig the hole deeper with every action.
I was actually mostly a lurker so I'm kinda hoping that if enough people make the switch the top-contributors will follow.
Me, too. I have tended to agonize over posts because there's always an a-hole on the internet. I've tried to be the asshole but that just hurt all of us. So far, Voaters have been pretty interesting and supportive.
I'm hoping for that too, but I think it will take some time. They all have a lot of followers on reddit, and some probably won't want to just abandon that audience. It will be interesting to see how many of the top contributors that we end up with on Voat are completely new and how many of them were already very active on reddit and just switched platforms.
To be honest I just feel disgusted with what's going on at Reddit. The Fappening, FPH, even the firing of Victoria sounds like business decisions since they are trying to start to make money. Ok, to each there own. I don't have to be apart of that site anymore. But, when you try and erase your own comment history, interviews, and take them down every time they pop up that's where it really crosses a line.
I've been listening to Reddit's podcast Upvoted with kn0thing as the host. At the end of each show he talks about how the freedom of Reddit allowed these world changing events to happen. One of the latest episodes was for the 10th anniversry of Reddit. kn0thing and spez were sitting around talking about the old days of Reddit (which I might add they gave Aaron Swartz the least amount of credit possible) and how Reddit is all about discussions and freedom of speech. The events of the last few days lets me know that they are both completely full of shit. And you might be telling yourself...well duh bear of course their full of shit...but I guess I didn't really feel betrayed (for lack of a better word) until now.
I guess what I'm trying to say is the whole situation is completely FUBAR. I'm glad they are showing their true colors so people jump ship and leave them broke.

This post will probably be misunderstood (Disclaimer: I'm not against investigating this), but is there anything in that video that they would want to hide? It's 19 minutes long and the parts that I saw seemed pretty mundane.
Is it just me..or does everyone lately see the whole reddit team as the poster child(ren) of /v/punchablefaces ..do we even have a punchable faces yet? I haven't looked..if not, we need it..and they need to be the header banner.

I rarely commented on reddit. But I find myself much more active here.

Also, really wish someone grabbed a copy of that video. Are there any youtube vids up right you'd like to have backed up, just in case?
[–] AldusValor 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
I'll do what I can.
