Voat over one year lost 30% of participation shown in graphs...
I only am talking about participation metrics, not quality of posts, not quality of comments, not anything but the 30% annual loss of participation that proves to anyone that it is a mathematical fact that voat is in trouble and shrinking (dying).
631,360 a year ago vs 400,020, means in simple mathematics that (631,360 - 400,020) = 231,340, and that 231,340/400,020 represents that the old monthly total is %57.8 larger!
57.8% more posts per month just one year ago!
That is a huge drop!
Voat sadly is, in fact, dying if you define dying as "dramatically less and less participation" and disregard arguments related to quality.
What can be done to get more quality users to join? Or at least STOP the decline?
With new registrations restricted and all the restrictions to stop the attacks its no wonder usage is down. If the site stabilizes things will heat up, ESPECIALLY in an election year.
It is worth noting that there are more sites than ever that offer alternatives to places like reddit. There is stuff on the dark web, several clones on the clearnet, a few forums that refugees from reddit that focused specific topics like kratom and other things have been created.
Things are looking pretty good overall, far better now then when Whoaverse was created. But I do hope to see this site become more general purpose, the state of some of the mainline subs is just sad.

VOAT IS DYING! 30% less participation!
I feel very sad at the following numbers :
Graph: Posts per month
Graph: Posts per day
