I agree we need to find the best way. I don't think the current way is the best way. New users, will get the impression that things are stagnant here, simply because new posts are way down the list. Some of these users might think it's due to insufficient user base, and leave the site for good. I think things as they are now, makes it harder for voat to compete.

Economists will say it's all about incentives. So, how do you incentivise new content? A third kind of scoring for a user? Perhaps based on number of submissions and comments (ignoring upvoats), minus downvoats? If that number is positive, give their new submissions the same algorithmic weight as something with one voat.
