I have been here for a good while, originally OzarkMoutainGoat. I don't comment much anymore, I just lurk. This site is basically dead, it has been so for a while. It was dead from get-go. The admin hates the user base and a substantial subsection of the user base goes way out of their way to be unpalatable to anyone but the initiated.
That's part of the point, voat isn't by default a welcoming place, you have to earn your right to be here. When the community goes full 14880tard thats the immune system of voat reacting to foreigners. If by some chance the new users manage to tolerate the full blast and just ignore it or tolerate it, they happen to be of the few who have the right to be on voat.
However, what I dont like is when users go to subs and try and harass them there and then get banned, and then cry about it to try and get some brigading going. That should be curtailed. I guess making the CCPs and the other thing local or per sub could solve many of the issues. Including some of the voat farming.

The "community" is in a perpetual state of going full 14880tard at any given point of time, though. Some niche subverses aside, Voat has already turned into the right-wing equivalent of fucking NeoGaf. If you call that an immune system, the patient has died from an allergic shock years ago.
