Changes

As Reddit grew large and accepted public financing, their original mission of free speech was shuttered. Users and groups were blocked that were not [[politically correct]]. This led to a surge of members quitting and joining Voat. Each new Reddit outrage leads to massive new memberships at Voat. So much so that Voat falls victim to overloaded servers. Reddit is so far left on the political spectrum that conservatives are effectively banned from submissions to the politics category. As a result, Voat's politics subverse is overwhelmingly populated with right-leaning users.
