When I started using reddit about 7 years ago, it was a bastion of intelligent, sometimes irreverent community discussion. But with things like this, and the recent talk of "segregating" communities which reddit "wishes didn't exist", its become a very different place. The mass logging of users by a certain segment of those users is extremely troubling. It actually makes me watch my words, and where I comment. The path they're going is having a chilling effect on speech right now.
Its an awful shame, and what's crazier is that in their zeal to make a safe place, they're enabling shaming and bullying on a massive level. I don't even think the SJWs behind this even comprehend what they're doing.
Reddit will fall. And where the people go, the SJWs will go also to yell at them. How will Voat handle them when they eventually come?

Why not let them register but confine them to /v/debriefing or /v/redditdefectors. Then we could interrogate them to see if they are fleeing SJW tyranny to build a new life here, or if they are SJW spies who should be SHOT.

Is that why its invite only now? Not really a long-term solution either.

I'm OK with it, actually. Let the people who were smart enough to get the fuck out of Reddit over here, then restrict registering. This way you have (for the most part) intelligent conversations and content for a while. It's just up to the smart people to create content and discuss things. No longer can we be lurkers, but we must contribute for this new system to thrive.
That's why I like Voat.

Actually, I think invite only is going to speed up the SJW exodus here...they're kind of a tight nit culty group...they'll all show up at once and all hell is going to break loose...they've already started the brigades here...
