I'll admit I haven't been paying attention. I assume the general summary is:
1) That bullshit Voat clone finally got around to banning more wrongthinkers for bullshit reasons.
2) The mods skipped over here and saw that the preferred sub name was already in use.
3) Instead of integrating the Mods decided to make a new sub that they could continue to have a chokehold on.
4) By fucking with the SCP/CCP settings for the sub they've kicked in the "this subverse will be hidden from /v/all and votes will not increase user SCP/CCP" thing. Then there's the usual cancermod powertrips. Together this has set off the classic Voat immune reaction.
So is there anything going on with this one that ISN'T par for the course, except possibly the size of the influx?
The size of the influx and the fact most of them now understand reddit is dead are the main problems. If we can't get this under control, there are enough of them to damage the site. And we may not be able to scare them off with the usual Tactics.

The good news is that their sub is set up as a containment sub.
