Over the past few years, every time I looked at /r/all on reddit, I wondered which posts had to be censored to curate that milquetoast front page. I got the answer, to some extent, from the various undeletion subs (/r/undelete being the most prominent one) but they couldn't catch everything. Even with their help, I was only seeing a sliver of what the reddit community actually wanted to put on the front page, but couldn't, because cancerous powermods were working against them.

In contrast, when I look at /v/all on Voat, I am secure in the knowledge that this is what the Voat community wants to see on the front page. There is no mediator between the submitters, the voaters, and the viewers. The front page represents us, not what someone wants us to be.

reddit originally set out with that mission, too, but lost sight of it somewhere along the way. Here's hoping that Voat never does.
