I have been a member of Reddit for 7 years and Digg for years before that. I moved from Digg to Reddit to escape the constant and blatant content manipulation. Reddit was like a breath of fresh air, for a while. In the past year I have noticed much more content manipulation and censorship than I would have ever dreamed but I was being foolish. Of course once a website becomes top dog in its class on the internet people will take note and try to control it. There are plenty of posts that sum up what has happened to Reddit but I believe this sums up best why I left. So I found a new home.
Cue voat.co. I came here to open this sub for anyone to post anything they like. From news to conspiracies or whatever you like. The content will be decided by the users and no one else. The only thing that will be removed are things that are obviously illegal, one example being child pornography, very simple rules. Other than the one rule that forbids illegal content anything else goes. The upvote/downvote button will decide. I hope you enjoy the sub and this will likely be last you hear from me personally as I turn the sub over to the users.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. If it takes off or doesn't it will remain here and maybe one day it will be needed and used appropriately. That is up to you guys to decide.
