    It's upsetting that voat is getting more traffic. It's a clone of reddit while Snapzu offers a new experience.

      If you look carefully you'll see that reddit's traffic went up way more than voat. I'm not unhappy. I think it's better that snapzu grows gradually. I think there is more of a learning curve to get used to snapzu and many people weren't prepared to take the time or treated it like reddit and found they didn't fit in. Or perhaps snapzu was careful with invites so it wasn't overwhelmed with redditors which is not such a bad thing really.

      The experience has never been the problem. Sure, there where some things to be improved. The main problem has been the way the site was run. Lack of communication and a taking away power from mods and admins. Yes, Snapzu might be different. But different is not necessarily good. Personally I think SnapZu tries too hard to be different. It is way too busy and overly complex without really adding anything. The strong point about Reddit was/is its simplicity and clean layout (just like Google search). Things like tribes, experience points and levels just take away from the core experience IMO. So, I am totally fine with Voat being a Reddit clone (although there are some major improvements). Why do we need to reinvent the wheel? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

      Not sure if that's a bad thing though. I'd rather have a smaller but great community than a reddit clone with the worst of the worst reddit users. Also, let's face it, right now there's a ton of stuff here that's just plain copied from reddit/the same. So we get the same stuff but without all the bad users. I think that's pretty great.
