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 guess I wasn't overly clear. This isn't the sole reason as to why I'm done with reddit. It's just turned into something that I don't enjoy as much as I once did. I've always liked smaller communities, as it's really easy to feel microscopic on sites as large as reddit.
I see the direction the site is going and when I compare it to the site I knew when I first joined up, I don't enjoy what I see. That's just one guys thoughts, though I'm sure many don't agree with me.

Over the past 6 months or so I've found the amount of really good content get less and less and less. I became this cartoon.
So far, very much liking voat.
Oh and also, public modlists are amazing and something I've wanted at the other site for so long!
