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.
That's the stupidest thing I've heard all year. Last I checked Voat asked two things, don't to illegal things and don't prevent others from speaking. Everyone is welcome, those actions are not.
There's a lot of people out there that would like to take advantage of an open platform and use the freedoms it offers to limit other's freedoms. "Earning the right to be here" just means proving that limiting others isn't one's intent. The immune system around here ferrets that out by pushing buttons to see if newcomers can live and let live or not.
There's no reason to deliberately be offensive to most people. Claiming it's to test them to see if they're 100% OK with free speech is like a Liberal saying if you're not comfortable with gays butt-fucking each other in public and throwing aids blood on you when you're in public in you're a real Progressive.
It's done because the weak willed faggots that get butt hurt over it run off back to reddit with their tails between their legs instead of trying to bring us all down to their level. That's literally it. We don't hate them or do it to vent, it's just an immune system reaction to keep the good alive here.

Best way I've seen it put. Voat will always be limited if that's how every new member is treated.
