I can see what you mean by how daunting this website can be. It's kind of a mix between Tumblr and Reddit, but so far I'm really enjoying it. Everyone really seems to be reasonable and welcoming so far. Reddit has kind of been losing it's excitement for me anyways, and I never really felt welcome or comfortable posting there. Like matjam said, most of the people that are in it for pointless points (heh) can go to Voat.

I'd agree with this. I made it into the lounge with some gold and from there I started branching into smaller communities of people and it slowly became more enjoyable. As for the rest I agree. There is only one problem I see right now...

Their going to need a bigger Voat for people to come aboard.

I'm sure Voat will expand like crazy now that they have the publicity. The reddit "uprising" will be what makes or breaks them, in my opinion.

Do you think that one big reason why Voat will be getting a lot more users from Reddit is because of its similarities to Reddit? The first time I went on the site it looked exactly like Reddit but with a different skin. It also seemed as if it uses the same point system of Reddit. It just seems as if Redditors will have a much easier time transitioning to a site like Voat instead of someplace slightly different like Hubski.

Thanks for checking us out, I can see your comparisons, but I would also say that the sharing mechanism is a lot like twitter.

Let me know if you have any questions about the site. Welcome!
