i'm new to this site...less than a month. I found it via a web search of "alternatives to reddit" or something similar. I immediately noticed the small user interaction and pondered why. Content is on point....similar to VOAT, which is dearly missed.

What was Voat? I heard of it on a Reddit Alt sub but the link was long dead by the time I found it. Why did it die? Too many sickos?

voat was very similar to reddit and sadit. "voat" up/down to increase/decrease topic ranking. It was similar to reddit in its early days(loose moderated boards). voat had leans to conservative/libertarian political views. it was under constant attack(DDoS and other) due to its loosely moderated discussion boards. voat's early members were those initially getting banned by reddit but weren't quite 4chan/pol material(maybe they were but didn't admit it). as reddit banned politically natured subs, voat's member numbers would increase. i can't remember if owner got tired of constant attack or it was banned due to site's content.
