How I found Poal.co
After some time after I got booted from Reddit , I wanted to publish the story to find out what other people have to say about it.
I headed to Voat, and posted:
- https://voat .co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit/3534284
- https://voat .co/v/ideasforvoat/3535771
Due to the very hostile responses and Voat's strict limitations onto new users, I thought I better find another more sane alternative to share my story on.
I found Poal .
After I shared my story , I got much friendlier and more civil responses such as a warm welcome by .
I still use Voat to some extent due to their much larger userbase (a few of my submissions there got over 100 upvotes, which is not possible on Poal with the current userbase, but may be soon), but am mainly active on Poal and also prefer this community.
Poal.co is also resistant against downvote misusers (unlike Voat and Phuks.co), amd even has downvote transparency for users starting at 360 points, which is awesome.
There were a lot of issues with Voat, but what finally made me move was that sub transfers were not being approved.
If the admins couldn't do this simple site management task, it didn't speak well. At the very least they could have delegated that duty to a trustworthy user.
Indeed, subverses should be in responsible and caring hands.
