LOL, I fully expect the ongoing natural life of community to exact its unerring course. Redditors trouncing in to voat and expecting or trying to make voat something it isn't makes no sense. On the other hand, if the stats are true, they mean that voat is already experiencing evolution in the form of a new wave.    As in all such cases, the development and emerging reality will require some negotiation, and some give and receive between the previous residents and new incomers.  We can see that process underway at QRV, where there are (no doubt) many former redditors while also 8channers and old goats. QRV is definitely not what Qreddit was, nor is it exactly 8chan. From the viewpoint of an old goat, is QRV decidedly 'goatish'? What say ye?  But be aware. In cases where incoming civilizations brought advances and developments, civilizations where the people and cultures were stuck in their ways and inflexible ended up suffering the most. Resistance to change is all to often premised on the foolish notion that 'my way is the best way, ever'. Inability to see the value (if it exists) in the new ideas and new ways only serves to cause heartbreak on the rocks of the ocean of history.    So, perhaps as long as incoming newbies do not act like stupid, arrogant dicks, maybe old goats here will learn something and gain from the influx as well. Time will tell.  Just remember one simple thing: Only change is constant.  Cheers, ..... knobbrain?
