Good afternoon from Saskatchewan! A few thoughts...
Hey guys, thanks for letting me on. What with all the bullshit going on over at Reddit, I've decided to expand outwards a little. I have an account with Snapzu and with Voat. I really like how similar the UI of Voat is to Reddit's, but Snapzu just looks so much more ergonomic and for lack of better words, fancy. Anyways thanks for the invite Snapzu, and a great hello to all my new internet colleagues!

Welcome /u/leclick, good to see some "northerners" joining the mix. If you ever have any questions, suggestions or just general feedback be sure to drop me a PM. I would be happy to help in anyway I can!
Glad to have you here. Keep in mind that the Snapzu doesn't just look different from reddit and Voat - it's format for submitting and sharing content is very different. Snaps on here allow for sources to be added (great for crediting photographers) as well as modules to add more depth to the content you're submitting - such as adding relevant links, videos, etc. It also allows other users to add relevant links (good for when another can find the source for whatever you're sharing). You can add tags to a post which helps Snapzu find relevant snaps for someone viewing your snap. If you want to submit your snap to more than one tribe (e.g. to videos, howto, and food as an example) you can choose all three tribes on your snap before publishing - it's essentially a simultaneous cross post.
As well, downvotes are used very sparingly here - they're much more like a "Report" button. When you downvote a snap or text post, it'll ask for a reason why.
Aww man, I wrote my post too early... I am now discovering all this such as tags and such and the crediting option. The downvoting / report thing is very good too because it's prevent unnecessary witch hunting and e-hate. Thanks for the reply!
No worries - you can always go back and edit a snap you've already created to add more things - I've gone back to older snaps and edited my tags on them to help with search functions and so on. I believe there is also a 15 minute grace period to edit the title for a snap as well, though I can't find my source on that, so take that with a grain of salt.
Please stop sending your smoke my way. If you must be on fire at least be polite about it and keep it all within your own provincial borders. Remember you are Canadian after all so be polite! All kidding aside how are things in Sask? Nice to meet a fellow Canuck within the first few minutes being here
