I still go to Voat and am still a member but, Phuks has really siphoned the cream-of-the-crop from Voat, relative to content posting and maintaining a great board.
I was just on Voat, getting ready to post something about vile property tax laws perpetrated upon the citizens of Cook county, U. S of A and as I looked and read some posts I just said "forget it, I'll try another day."
Voat had so much potential. There was a handful of us in the beginning who put in time and effort to build a community.
Sadly it never got the the chance to truly blossom and become it's own before it was over run.
The old community got drowned out by the new, who then decided what the focus was about. Rinse and repeat.
