It is hard for me to judge, because I already visited /pol on both 4chan and 8chan before, but overall, I find it to be an exaggeration that 8chan is difficult to "handle". What I miss from /r/greatawakening was the sheer number of people there, and the positive vibe that place had. Both voat and 8chan are a bit more "gloomy", comparing to that subreddit. Anyway, 8chan will be a main place for the simple fact that it is protected by the military itself (ok, I don't know it for the fact, but it is highly likely to me to be the case).
