This was the best answer. I love voat, but it needs to get its shit together in terms of community participation and simple things like answering sub requests.
A few months back I was told I would be made a moderator on /conspiracy. Then the current mod changes his mind out of nowhere and decides to stay in charge! Suffice to say that has made me not want to contribute to that 'community'.
The other day I was redpilling people about the Nazis and Zionists working together, but that is very advanced redpill stuff and people weren't ready for it, so instead of being curious or wanting to discuss it, people just downvote it to 'make the bad comments go away'.
Yeah, there is a ton of confirmation bias around here. Then again, we're mostly human, so it's no wonder. People on Voat like to pretend that they're better than other people, wiser, stronger, etc. The sad fact is that 90% of our population does this, always justifying why we should be in charge. It's a very human trait, but it doesn't work well in society in most circumstances.
