Hello and welcome to Voat!
Don't be a shy! Start making comments in here to earn your needed minimum 10CCP and then start a post to introduce yourself to other Voaters!
Please explore Voat to find subverses that interest you. If you don't find what you are looking for, perhaps you should create it! In addition, if you find a subverse that seems abandoned, you can request to adopt it. If you do create a new sub or adopt one, you can announce it. Once you have a subverse, you may want to add a custom theme for it.
You can disable custom CSS in your account management options to just see the default interface if you choose. Voat also has a Night Mode as yet another option and many users seem to prefer it! In here as well you will be able to add your email for password recovery (Voat will never use or sell this information).
Your Voat experience can be whatever you want to make it, so make the most of it!
Sub Rule: This sub is for making your introduction post as a new user and for welcoming new users in the comments; posts asking for or offering free upvotes is bad form, Off-Topic to the sub, and subject to deletion
Sub Guideline: Wheaton's Law; if someone is rude, ignore or let them know with your vote, mods don't police "politeness"
Contribution Points
You have two kinds of contribution points: Submission Contribution Points (SCP) and Comment Contribution Points (CCP).
- CCP is what allows you to vote on posts/comments and everyone starts with 10 free upvotes per day; the more CCP you get, the more you can vote.
- SCP doesn't do much for now but there are plans for down the road, and you get one free upvote with every post.
Votes are associated with your IP address: you cannot vote on the same post/comment using alternate accounts; only the first vote will be counted.

~PRO TIP 1: A great way to quickly gain CCP is to hang out here and greet other newcomers when they post. You are also helping them, so everyone wins!
~PRO TIP 2: You don't have to keep that password you created during the registration process--click the cog wheel by your name and change it!

Depends on the subverse, I was censored on v/politics by a mod.

Not a bad question. I honestly don't know. I simply left reddit in search of something that didn't feel like a blatant internet advertisement paradise.
Can't honestly be sure if it is better but I have enjoyed the experience here more than I had been enjoying my experiences elsewhere.

I go on about once a week. Went on today, blatant font page advertising for Mcshits ecoli burgers.
I like to see what the entertained, useful idiots are up to. It gets scarier and scarier.

cool, yeah someone in r/conspiracy mentioned it and my spouse (more internet savvy) was familiar. And I've been sure for a while that Reddit was a compromised medium

you already made the front page within 55 minutes of posting.

More racists and mysoginists here
[–] XAPHAN 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
That is because you are not told what to think here. ( freedom of speech and stuff ). Therefore the racists and misogynists can rant and embarrass themselves all they want, and the rest of us can see who they are and distance ourselves from them.

There may be a higher concentration but pure numbers still belong to Reddit.
[–] babbles 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Yeah, a little bit.

It's probably the exact same ratio, just here they don't get banned, shadow banned, and kicked off of subs.
Well, they do get kicked out of some subs,

Fresher content. Reddit used to be good, but now you can go days without checking it and not miss anything.

Voat also doesn't sell out to corporate interests. Paid-for topics don't magically make the front page to push an advertising or promotional agenda. Without a corporate board of trustees who need to turn a huge profit, a broader spectrum of discussion is the norm. Ideas and education on topics that don't flow with social justice critics and corporation interest are much more prominent and have an equal chance to be seen by the entire audience of voat.

Fuck you and nothing is better than anything. That said, I hope you enjoy voat.
