The fact that he is unwilling to compromise is kind of odd to me. Usually he would take the opinions of the community into consideration.
I wonder if he is under pressure from the financial backer to push out some of the more controversial groups. Like Aged and his borderline kiddy porn content.
Nah, this is what he does. He acts then fronts the community later. @she, voting system, etc were all done this way. Personally I think it's better to have a site run that way but I don't think he's necessarily a good decision maker either. He's a good programmer. Maybe he will grow into it.
He talks a good talk but ultimately he acts on his own over and over with no regard for what Voat thinks, with some lame "I did bad" apology afterwards. Tell me how the trajectory of Voat is any different from Reddit?
