I am coming from Voat. I posted exasperated rant how I am not having much fun anymore there, and I was contacted by one of the Phuks admins.
What is your story?

I think Atko and Puttitout are similarily disillusioned like we are and stopped trying.
I really hope phuks will be the one. I tried so many!
I was PM'd and asked to check it out.
When I refused, I was notified that the admins of the site have several nude photos of me and threatened to release them publicly if I didn't come here and say something nice about them.
The admins here are very nice people, by the way.
LockeProposal! My favourite Voat user ever! I am so glad to see you, man.
Thanks!
So far it's quite nice here.
/s/turtles sadly do not seem to exist.
I started chatting with some weird people (cough Boukert) and ended up talking about creating a voat alternative and a few months after that... here we are :)
Welcome to the site, and if you find any bugs or glitches, I'm the one in charge of smashing em', so feel free to poke
Pembz told me about it, and well I decided to check it out. Lets take a look shall we
Also my recapta was find the pizzas so pizzagate has already made there way here, I assume.
A contact whose identity I can't reveal notified me about this website, I had to join to collect some information only registered users have access to.
We (group of around 6-8) originate from /v/modernpowers on voat. We saw voat getting more and more a right wing circlejerk with inactive admins. (the 9 week no subverserequest handled as a prime example) Which made it hard for us to recruit players. (turns out racists especially dont make good players :/ )
For now on voat brigading seems to be normal, admins seem to not give a fuck and discussions are impossible if it has anything to do with worldview or politics. The place has barely original content and the ones that actually do try to post diverse content get assholes following them around or just blatantly brigaded!
We individually tried to reach out multiple times to the admins with ideas and offers to help but never got awnsers back. With voat declining even further with every hate sub being dumped on the site we saw that voat was maybe not worth investing in (content/community). We discussed the possibilities and took some advice from Bender and here we are!
We are looking to build a community based website with free speech and active admins whom support and motivate the communities.
Currently we are 3 founders and about twenty contributors. We are open to any ideas, suggestions and help from others.
Depending on contribution and assistance we are also willing to assign admin positions to loyal contributors/moderators. (even shares if we ever become profitable)
Our main aim would be to poach from reddit, rather then voat for new users. (we wouldn't want to unnessary damage voat, or pull their drama over to us.)
Anyway good to see you turned up, and I hope you like our idea!
Edit:
Maybe an extensive reply but I needed to formulate this for myself to
