I think Voat is capable of hosting unlimited communities with different interests and standards. It was designed for this purpose. It's what makes this kind of platform attractive. FPH is a perfect case study.
If we have a problem after things settle a bit (because most migrations bring bad actors along for the ride, but they fizzle out among level heads), we will address it and fix it. I promise this.
Many of these immigrants have no idea what we've been through and thus don't respect Voat like they should. They see Voat as a small faceless wannabe reddit clone website (can you blame them?) and they have not the loyalties and bonds that run deep for us goats. This is the main problem, in that we've bleed and sacrificed for Voat, whereas they've simply registered a new account.
Also, please consider that there are those that intentionality increase tension because it causes drama (on both sides).
I'm going to wait until the dust settles and then reassess.
If we have solutions to problems let's discuss in v/ideasforvoat. If I find it is a problem, I need to figure out what to do anyways, so let's start talking solutions!
Problems force us to make our system better (and everyone here has to honestly admit we have some fairly good protections in place that have done their job). I look at problems as an opportunity to make Voat better and I'm not giving up on Voat.
We've seen time and time again on other websites, and certain subverses, where people will immediately default to abusing their power when confronted with any kind of challenge to the idea of what their little space should be like. The fact that you always take a calm and rational approach is a real testament to your character.

I'm so thankful for how measured you are, Putt.
