Not sure I like voat but will give it a shot. I’ve come to really dislike the upvote/downvote mechanic as it is ripe for abuse. Was just getting used to 8chan and really liked the filter option so you can get rid of all the asshats so you don’t have to waste your time reading their bullshit.
The up/down vote mechanism generally works very well here. The catch is that it's not Reddit which is designed to artificially manipulate votes to shape discussion and perception.
Vote farming and manipulation will be harshly punished. See /v/ProtectVoat.
That's why they are there. To encourage shaping of discussion. They should not be used to censor or control. That's the difference. You see good content, let them know.

This didn't happen without some planning. Q team wouldn't have backed it if it wasn't secure.
Timeline ...
This place is my new home ... all the great stuff from Reddit without the bad stuff ... all the great stuff from 8 chan (anonymity) ... loving it!
