Yeah there is a reson for that, your comment history is you doing these cliche begging for upvotes while you say the voat community is toxic ect. If you don't like our freedoms here you have the freedom to leave back to your safe spaces.

One million dollars /s

So we are like Australia?

YEAH, I've been saying this for months. Voat=Goat, " Judas Goat"leads sheep to slaughter.

"but it seems like Ellen Pao was dismissed right about the time voat.co blew up" Yeah voat was starting to blow up about a month before that, then the second main suege of users was in the fattening.

"Also, this site is a CARBON COPY of Reddit except the rules are modified to allow for more extremely offensive material" That is because it is supposed to be a copy of reddit and what it used to be. Same thing when digg when down reddit was a digg clone. People are familiar with the style of the site and it makes adjusting easier. You however are a reddit fanboy who is on vote to try to swing more people back to reddit "I don't particularly like the community on Reddit, but one thing it has going for it is civility." Yeah that is nowhere near true. All reddit has is Memes and forcing actual conversation down to undelete and the conspiracy subs. Your response to legitimate criticism is telling people to stop talking, then complaining saying reddit is more civil with their safe spaces. You are a self admitted SJW, go back to reddit and stop spamming us with fake conspiracies to try to get the content creators back to reddit. Drown in your memes. https://voat.co/v/explainlikeimfive/comments/416663/1834694 (this just keeps going and it is honestly really sad seeing you unable to just not respond and instead keep trying to get the last word with ordering someone to be silent. Then turn around at the end saying they are trying to silence you by trying to get you to legitimately discuss things)

Obviously not if I'M here... Wait... Dammit.

It's possible, I guess, but does it matter? Seems like everybody wins if that's the case.

probably a coincidence. but, i wouldn't doubt that Reddit would love to smear voat by pointing to groups that may have joined it.
