Both sites disable your upvoting if you go negative.
Both sites have comment/post timers. voat.xyz is far stricter.
Both sites have Troll owners. (System has said he usto troll some board.)
Both have 2 owners. AOU and PMYB2 vs System and HoneyBuns(something like that).
Both sites have collapsed text.
Both sites you can say nigger/kike and you can on reddit as well just not all subs.
Both sites sites refuse to write down rules and are feelings based just like youtube/twitter/reddit.
Both sites have global unwritten rules that even by reddit standards are super strict.
Both sites use global bans to enforce sub bans.
Both sites do not let their users actually have a sub. They allow you to make one and moderate it but go above and beyond their own global rules. What I mean by that is say I wanted a sub talking about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers(no special meaning). I like the White Power ranger and some one else likes the Yellow Power Ranger. The owner hates the Yellow one so he bans the user and deletes their comment and the post. They effectively ruined the Might Morphine Power Ranger sub yet both refuse to put No Yellow Power Rangers lovers in site rules.
Differences.
Badges and trophies.
I do like that voat.xyz allows you to put a post in a sub and not on /all. Bypassing the most active and vocal group. The feature has become useless because of the timer and their audience are puritanical. If I posted something negative about Hitler I would be downvoted in the extreme on voat.xyz effectively disabling my account.
Although this post will get moved to the shitposts section. My account would be deleted on voat.xyz
Censorship on both.
I have read about accounts being shadow banned on both. What I mean by that is that the account password is changed on the user and no announcement.
Poal suppresses, Voat.xyz straight out prevents one from having an opinion.
I am thinking of starting a forum review sites. That is why I have interests in these things.
Poal leaves a lot to be desired but is hands down the "free'er" platform. I do find the say what you want misleading though.
