I've posted some neat stuff there and I find they're so caught up in politics they don't tend to the basic information... not just my posts but the neat stuff... the bread and butter of any site. However it doesn't get through to their crowd so much as it does here... people here are more receptive to material that isn't political.
Disclaimer: I am not saying you have smarter people here as a whole but it sometimes seems that way.
That community long ago chose what its focus was to be and shunned anything outside that bubble.
Case in point, did you know that voat had a whole plethora of individual subs for different pictures? Sadly v/pixnetwork has been completely disregarded.
Voat is unsubstandable due to it's inability to let any other topic grow and blossom.
