about Voat.
When I first came here from reddit over a year ago it was great. The circle jerks where small and kept to themselves. The "cool, witty, and edgy" comments normally got down voted in favor of real conversation... I would see tons (relatively) of OC posts.
Now however... most of Voat is pretty much everything that drove me away from reddit (the censorship was just the nail in the coffin).
I used to post and comment. Recently I've just gone into lurker mode... I just don't care anymore.
Maybe after the elections it'll get better, but I'm not holding my breathe.

I'm guessing you're somewhat older, that is like 25+. I am in the 30+ group. If I'm wrong let me fuck up the rest of this post.
Have you considered our generation is tired of online debating - just as much as we're tired of advertising, and mostly crappy television, and mostly crappy movies? This is how I feel, almost all mediums have exhausted my ability to simply be happy. So I'm trying to ditch much of it. And to replace that I hope to just work on hobby projects, talk to family more, but remain aware of what's going on outside of MSM.
