That seems to be the normal transition of how people ended up here. People moved to Voat mainly after the nigger and fat people hate subs were banned on Reddit. When Voat started having drama/issues Phuks and Poal saw an influx of users. Now there isn't a big catalyst to drive user growth. It isn't like Poal is advertising. If you Google "Reddit alternatives" you aren't going to see a result for Poal. It makes me wonder where these users are coming from.
Wait everyone, Poal is full.
The site "Alternative to" actually lists Poal as an alternative to some "free speech" platforms. I suspect reddit. voat, and the chans have a lot to do with new traffic.
I'm not new here or anything. That's exactly what happened to me. I went to Voat because of the fat people hate sub and then I started learning things I never knew. When Voat went down I came here.
