Voat is currently getting hit with a huge amount of traffic as a direct result of recent changes happening over at that other place.
Everyone, we’re sorry. We’re both sad to see what we once loved change in this manner, but we’re also excited about the future, but our future won't be traveling down this same path.
We won’t be getting any sleep tonight (again) and we are doing everything we can to handle the traffic.
Our budget is limited but we’ll make sure to fight to the last penny in order to keep Voat alive for this community. If you want to donate, well, now is the time. Our bitcoin address is 1C4Q1RvUb3bzk4aaLVgGccnSnaHYFdESzY.

I'm sad/glad to see Reddit pulling the trigger faster than expected.
Welcome everybody who's new to VOAT! No bullshit here and hopefully it stays that way longer than ~5 years.

This shitstorm should have happened weeks ago when the "fattening" happened. The exact same bullshit is being pulled, only now are the subreddits standing in unison and shutting themselves down. The only difference is it doesn't involve a controversial subreddit.

Yeah, that's when I personally made the switch to VOAT. I go on to check KiA (KotakuInAction) simply because the userbase hasn't made the switch yet. I wasn't convinced that the fattening would get everybody on board but come the fuck on. This has to bring a great chunk of the decent minded folks over here now. I'd also love for people who don't necessarily share the viewpoints VOAT may have to come join us too. We need the discourse to make this place last and become a permanent spot for everybody and anybody that doesn't believe in censorship of any kind.
