community. that's the number one most important thing of any website like reddit, or any website where lots of different people make accounts and post about whatever they want. Reddit lost tons and tons of users by banning wrongthink during the fiasco where Ellen Pao took over. several times, waves of people ditched reddit and went to voat. voat went from a tiny, barren, dead website to a buzzing community where loads of different people with different interests came over to talk, share photos, links to articles on other websites, etc. after a while, regular users completely ditched Voat and i have no idea where they went. only Fatpeoplehate, Coontown, shitposting circlejerk boxes, and infinity links to music videos, tired old jokes, and infinity news articles about world news, state news, and tech news remained. Poal is getting people who ditched Voat due to some website drama. honestly, sincerely it looks like voat used to about a year ago over here. I bet you guys want a thriving website with users with different interests. some good real genuine diversity. voat seems to think "free speech" is just screeching niggerfaggotkike, but there are "wrongthink" topics that get you dv brigaded and hounded nonstop over there. the obnoxious power users. don't want that to happen here. best recommendation i got, is to post general hobby and interest things to various little subs until people who are just Googling will find it and come over here. because people who left Reddit initially, eventually went back and just didn't talk about anything that would get them shadowbanned. they'd enjoy their interests and discussions but were afraid to actually speak their minds lest aaaaaaallll of their content be removed. a good website would allow people to enjoy their interests and share their opinions. they could enjoy both their hobbies and worldviews, rather than only one and nothing else.
