    It seems to me that if you are going to make a near clone of something, you ought not be surprised when you suffer from similar problems.

This is why i never looked into Voat as a legit alternative to Reddit. It's literally the same thing as Reddit but with different admins - same voting system, same "subreddit" model, etc. - so why would it end up being any better than reddit? It just has less content and fewer users to vote on things.

Well, if you're looking for a community that's free from censorship, it helps to have admins who believe in free speech.

Or a community with no admins at all... ;)
