I still use Reddit. It has many healthy, established communities that have great moderators and users. Why should I move to a clone that has much less content and keeps going down? Voat has potential, but it can only do well by promoting its differences with Reddit, not its similarities.
My initial reason for joining was that Snapzu was accessible, so it was more of an availability thing.
Now though, I just really like the community, and the other tangible parts of Snapzu. (The XP system, site layout, etc)
Also....it's not like reddit is dead, I can still browse there and have no need to jump to a clone like Voat.
I love your last point, you're totally right.
