It's not even just about new users. I've been phasing out Voat just because I've become more happy and less 'le epic edgy internet troll conspiracy theorist'. Voat thinks people dislike Voat because it's too edgy for them. In reality people don't like Voat because it's just not fun. The rallying cry of "let's all be miserable together" is not overly compelling.

I’m not miserable here. I actually laugh at lots of it.

And you are truly happy?

Is this a philosophical question that you expect a real answer to?

Just a question. There's probably outliers but I think the vast majority on this site aren't actually happy. I have trouble envisioning happy loving households where they take time out of their day to go online and express their undying hatred for niggers and Jews. Negative energy is like any other drug or vice, temporary highs followed by more consistent lows. I can't remember ever seeing any user created content that inspires the soul or evokes beauty. It doesn't mean you're bad people, just lost and steeped in poisonous interactions. And like, that's the selling point.

Obviously anyone spending to much time here is not spending that time with a gf or family and so obviously he is not as happy as he should be. That doesn't mean you cant have afore mentioned and still spend a few minutes here daily for some good content. Same for every internet forum.
