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'd say if Reddit is bureaucratic enough to make narwhals and bacon their mascot, I figure We The Voaters can come up with something more pragmatic. How about instead of narwhals and bacon...freedom and anti censorship.

But it was the users that perpetuated those memes. Redditors created thay monster that destroyed them. We are going to do it again.
