I'm gonna sound a bit nasty here, but I feel the need to speak up on this trend I've been seeing for a while.
Honestly, I would love to see you try. Go ahead, fork voat yourself. I would love to see how the section of voat that constantly complains about the pacing and direction that voat moves in will respond when they have to deal with the sheer amount of work and underappreciation @puttitout gets trying to maintain, develop and please a site with an even smaller user base fragmented off from an already small user base website.
I would love to see how you react to spending countless hours on a side project that pays little to nothing and just get shit on all day for not moving in several contradictory directions that various communities on your site will want, if you even manage to attract enough people to GET several communities because the demands being made to you by your users half the time repel new users in the interest of "keeping voat pure."
Do it. Come back in a week and make a post where you're puzzled why so few people are going to your website and how everything is so much more than you expected to have to deal with, and I can watch your fork stagnate into nothing.
