It's a double edged sword at best...

The best thing about Voat is that is was/ is so small. The Q influx damaged that. I'm a Q enthusiast by the way.

The larger a community becomes, the more retarded it gets. This happened with every subreddit I followed and is what led me to Voat in the first place. All those people here won't mean that they all "become Voat". A percentage of them will do that, but a percentage of them will dilute what made Voat great in the first place.

This was always inevitable, because Voat was/is aligned with the truth. Reddit was always going to fail, and Voat was always going to "win out". But that comes at a cost...the cost of what made Voat special in the first place: the fact that it wasn't mainstream. So ends the age of Reddit, so begins the age of Voat.

And so begins the end of the age of Voat. Now we need to find the next Voat...or make one ourselves. Or figure out some strategy to prevent Voat from going the way of Reddit...and this isn't all bad. Think what it means. It means that we won. That we're winning. That our days of being in the shadows has paid off. Voat is becoming, and has become, "mainstream". Some people will accept that, some people will start looking for their "new Voat".

I'm happy regardless. Voat has served it's purpose. We've moved the Overton window so that what we wanted to discuss is acceptable to discuss. Job well done friends! I look forward to meeting you on the next battlefield.

I feel its far different than just that.

I think normies become more RED PILLED if they hang out on voat! The ones that linger and stay become very aware of many topics voat users care about, and cannot be found on many forums.

You claim it tames voat, but It also goes other way too, the ones that come learn a lot about things they were not aware of.

I claimed exactly that, actually. But the more people that are here, the more "dumb" it gets.

Ah. But thats true of any large growing social site. lower and lower "normal IQ" people join, and younger and younger join.
