I guess it depends on what you classify as "bad behavior". A lot of the worst people from reddit migrated to voat after /r/FatPeopleHate was banned, and now they make up a large portion of its userbase. Until issues with their hosting providers forced them to ban it, the administration was happy to provide a safe haven for inappropriate pictures of minors on their site. That its ultimate banning caused a sizeable backlash from voat's userbase tells me they're not the kind of crowd I'd want to hang around.
Maybe it's only the subverses (voat's equivalent of subreddits and tribes) I frequent then... But voat has some restrictions on up/down voting for newer accounts, maybe it helps a bit too.
True. I've seen the same on reddit as well: if you can isolate yourself enough in smaller and/or well-moderated sections of a site, you can avoid much of the garbage that might be elsewhere.
I haven't noticed so much bad behavior on voat yet. I hope it stays this way for a while.
