What can be done? VITAL CHART proves that VOAT IS DYING and 33% of people and postings LEFT in the last 12 months! WHY is voat DYING? How can we make voat grow or stop dying? This is dire! Help!
Lower IQ users on voat.co (I think of them as "normies") will downvote the facts below but...
VOAT IS DYING! 30% less participation!
I feel very sad at the following numbers :

Some blame the paranoid feeling when the site says "what did YOU do?" and think voat.co is blaming them and blocking them in timeout perhaps.
Over half the higher IQ people have possibly left voat, as such people actively flee perceived groups of "normies" in psychology papers and books covering high IQ.
That flight will always happen regardless without a regular influx of preferentially higher IQ people.
Voat.co is very high IQ now, but it was much higher, years ago.
Evidence?
I say it based solely on the actual scientists in the far past commenting in v/Science and the actual highly skilled engineers commenting in v/Technology in the far past.
The fleeing poindexters and smartypants creates a death spiral that chases off more and more eggheads.
It used to be called "MySpace" effect, or the "Digg" effect, and now termed the "Reddit" effect. High IQ people migrate to web sites offering higher intellectual discourse.
The_Donald exodus from Reddit to here could have quadrupled voat or far far more, but toxic attacks via gay male porn flooded v/TheDonald, and they went and created a "censoring" site 10 times larger than voat called https://thedonald.win/
v/QRV, v/GreatAwakening, and v/TheAwakening brought up IQ level a bunch, but it could have been more if less overall fights and cliques.
Toxic anti-Q anti-"boomer" anti-Trump rhetoric by disenchanters has its effect in killing voat too.
It is common among primates and humans to gang up and bond together tormenting chosen group members.
The relentless attacks on Q by older goats here is unwarranted, though sometimes funny in the NPC context this year.
A few of the older goats seem to enjoy antagonizing "QTards" "Boomers" "Political heads" "Qoomers" "Knowitalls" "Qfags" etc that were flooding into their formerly semi-static space.
A token tiny percentage of Q members on v/QRV could not handle "niggerfaggot" and "kike" but for all I know, they were voat false flag plants to draw anger towards Q. I myslef had Q subversive accounts created on standby.
v/milliondollarextreme came and then went, as other reddit failed migrations dwindled.
Well I hope everyone is happy with keeping voat.co smaller and stagnating... in fact SHRINKING!
What are ideas to get users to voat without accidentally letting any real world people know you use voat personally (doxx risk). Shill the link on other sites? Shill voat.co?
I bet the ratio of CIA glowniggers to non-glowniggers is now at an all time high on voat. Hello Mr. Fed !
NOTHING else out there is as good as voat.co, or offers true FREE SPEECH as voat. I like voat.co as much as anyone, but I can read a death spiral chart.
Voat.co is DYING!
That data in that chart is legitimate and REAL.
Other sites might be enticing users away, that do not mind semi-censoring pig admins that infest these :

https://phuks.co/
https://poal.co/
https://vnnforum.com/
http://niggermania.net/forum/ (good discussion of events on http://newnation.org/)
Who knows? All I know is the numbers in the charts do not lie. Voat.co lost 30% of its messages per day in one year of steady decline.
HOW CAN VOAT get back the 33% missing users?
HOW CAN WE BUILD UP VOAT.co?
If voat.co keeps dying from high IQ people fleeing, and Share Blue invading, I dislike the other semi-free-speech sites enough, that I feel I will just read it for v/Funny and v/News posts, not comments, and hate the universe.
THIS SUCKS SO BAD, and its so sad.

Whoever makes the next similar thing should seriously consider throwing the sign up CAPTCHA away and replace it with an IQ test. After all the attacks Voat has withstood I never imagined it would be stupid users that brought the site down, but that appears to be the case.
Some of us is sitting on something that we may have to share with the rest of you shortly if we don't get some answers soon..

Voat is dying, how to we get more users?
I know, let's bar a huge chunk of the population and set arbitrary restrictions on the users! That'll help.

notice that the guy saying we need new users (OP) is a new user. member for 8 days.

If the problem is a shrinking user base, restrictions on new users won't help that. Voat users can't just breed to create new users....
antiliberalsociety ago
The bulk of its user base doesn't contribute anyway. Proof is on the front page; the top voted posts never increase after registration opens up.

Do you sort by new?
antiliberalsociety ago
That has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I was talking about the max number of votes a top voted post gets. It's always been 150-300 on average. We get thousands of new users, that number never jumps to 1,000 like it theoretically should. Reddit had some 5,000 even before the cuckening.
