It is also a potential venue for doxxing. I had some nutzi use it to call me a pedo once. Anon subs and downvoting are both things I could do without.
In terms of atmosphere there also needs to be greater emphasis placed on civility in interpersonal contact. Too many think 'free speech' coupled with internet anonymity is a license to act in the worst way possible. Actions that face to face might get a guy punched in the nose. I'm unimpressed with pleas to 'authentic' conversations when dudes act like cartoon characters.

I've seen very few internet communities have this as the norm. And those that are normally number under 30 active users.

Probably because like most everything on the internet there is anonymity or semi-anonymity. Doesn't mean Voat should be animal house.
