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?

I thinking having voats weighted by reputation points would help....the orginial users/early adapters and conspiracy theorists who detected censorship earlier at Reddit should get more rep points and we she have the ability to down voat the rep points of those who act as shills....then when a brigade of shill robots come over here we can keep them with low voat power for longer and each one of our voats counts as more...it is meritocratic as opposed to one voat per shill (democratic), no matter how low IQ the shill has proven himself to be,
therefore when we see gullible people who believe the government propaganda on ISiS hook-line sinker...we can keep those gullible or shillples from gaining power here....then when we want to have TPP on the frontpage...it can be so....when we want information linking the US government to ISIS on the frontpage...it can be so.
it is possible that Voat is already too controlled for this to take place...free people will have to make a alternative info community at some point that make sit a little harder for paid corporate propaganda brigades to take over.
