There is a kabal of power users over there who enjoy controlling the narrative. It is a voat moderators job to:
Reserve the subverse to prevent the power user from gaining access.
Rebuff the power users demands to be added to the subverse
Restrict the power users access to the subverse (ala banning them)
Inform the users of any attempted infiltration through sock puppetry.
I've already had the reddit moderator of my one of my subverses (a known poweruser) demand to be added on the voat subverse since "he had it first on reddit". I refused, and minutes later I was banned from the reddit community of which I had earned over 400 karmas by posting informative and useful comments.
We have seen the opposite too, as reddit has now banned links to voat.co that are not to a specific handful of subverses that have installed the same puppet moderation team as reddit. So it is obvious this is their goal and endgame, mirroring of the reddit style of "dick waving in your face" moderation on voat. I'll have none of it.

Because someone has to stand up to the reddit powerusers and that is the moderators job. Foster freedom. Not act as dictators.

What do you mean by standing up to the Reddit power-users?
