Voat has been attracting the wrong type of users in my opinion. Some of the first exoduses were from /r/conspiracy and whatever subreddits promote anti-SJW. Now that /r/fatpeoplehate has gone there, too, the community is too much like the mainstream Reddit.
Which I guess is a mostly unintentional side effect from the strikingly similar UI that Voat and reddit each has. It's increasingly harder for Voat to escape the "like reddit except nobody can make us shut up about our opinions" label now.
Very true. When I was looking for a Reddit alternative, most comment mentioned Voat. However when I went there there was no appeal...it looks too much like Reddit, and the type of posts where not very rich. A few days later I heard about Snapzu, got an invite on my own (tweeted it so I got a code a few hours after giving my email) and then browsed her. The quality of this site is so much better, not only the interface but the community as well.
I do hope that other Redditors like myself will find this place and treat it decently.
I subscribe to this. I went to Voat, found the new Reddit, and then I came here and found something with the potential to become greater than what Reddit was. I hope the admins and the community here are as wonderful as they've been so far.

Ughh I checked it out once it finally was back up and it was a complete shit show.
