Good post, great points.  Honest question though-why don't you get verified?  I was skeptical of putting pics of myself on the internet (seriously, I don't even have a Facebook profile pic), but someone asked me why I don't get verified on Reddit's site about a year ago, and I thought "well, why not?"  I sent it in then, as I did as soon as Voat opened up.  It lends credibility to whatever you post here (if internet points matter at all to you), and I honestly do feel that this site helps those who thrive on criticism get healthier.  Maybe you can think of me the same way I thought of the person who gave me that little push to get verified?  And this post goes to ALL the unverified users; I'm not immediately suspicious about the unverifieds, but it does seem odd that so many people aren't and weren't on Reddit.  I also do know that verification is down for the time being.
