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.

One of the issues I have with reddit is their limiting content, be it by mod removal or by the vote manipulation, upvoting what they "like" and "downvoting" what they don't want seen. However, it's their site, they can do what they want. I just limit my time and do what I like there, nothing more, nothing less. No sense bitching about it. This is why I don't watch/pay for tv, movies or sporting events. I don't want to donate my money for the "entertainment" they provide.

I have no issues with voat because again, I just browse and do what I want, that's all. That said, the whole "Look at me, I can say nigger! faggot! fucking burn kike!" never interested me in the least. Yes, I tell offensive jokes, but I put them in the jokes section. I believe putting things in categories is fine, not censorship. Some people don't like crude jokes, so they can block them, I'm good with that. The decision to block should be left up to the individual, not governments or self righteous folks.

oh i forgot to mention- of course reddit's frontpage is shit and manipulated garbage. the good stuff is in very particular niche subs. the niche stuff is great. and of course never listed on the surface.

this place could use some more niche stuff. i looked at the subs here, many are deactivated or inactive.

The numbers are all fake, be it reddit or facebook. Didn't really think about it when I was a kid, but I'd wager the tv numbers, the Nielsen ratings, are all a sham too. It's all just PR, people telling you what's popular and what isn't.

oh there are waaaay more fake numbers than just that! companies lie about the numbers of units they sell, people they serve, loads of fake numbers.

That's why I started up /s/Hawaii. I'm probably the only person on O'ahu here, but that's fine. I'm sure there's more than a few who've traveled here and the thing is, you have to make the place first. Make the sub, fill it with content and people will come, or not, it's ok. Make a sub or subs that interest YOU!!!!
