Well what we learned from Voat recently was that a big migration needs guidance from an admin on the new site, new rules, new etiquette. And the earlier the better. Refugees did not get that until a day or two after and by then many had been abused by locals and said fuck it and left. Many deserved the abuse. They assumed it was a new reddit with same rules etc with no one to guide them. Hell, until now their "mods" from reddit still say voat subversive instead of subverse.

Just a giant clusterfuck.

I know you know this, but for the lurker, the slippery slope is how to make something not an echo chamber while not limiting free speech? I think we (you) have done an admirable job so far dealing with issues as they come up and feel confident the same will be applied to more/larger problems as well.

You know I actually cringed when I saw Great Awakening was banned and the new home was Voat. I knew that was not going to go well and many would be left homeless re: the Q movement, unable to deal with the chans.

That's one reason I love to hate Voat. They have the free speech and all, but they keep fucking it up by not having active admins. No one wants to be called a nigger faggot when all they know is those are "offensive" terms. No one to clue them in that "That's The Joke".

That's when an admin makes a global sticky letting everyone know it is done in fun to welcome and haze them. And that is done within minutes of the migration, not days.
