	After the conspiracy theorists returned to Reddit, Voat again sat in relative obscurity. This changed when [[Ellen Pao\|the Reddit admins]] decided to [[Fat_People_Hate#FATPEOPLE_HATE_FINALLY_B.26_FROM_REDDIT\|ban /r/fatpeoplehate]], a community where users indulged in the common hobby of talking shit about pictures of fat strangers for hours a day. Other bastions quality discussion were additionally [[b&]], including /r/transfags, /r/shitniggerssay, and [[neoFAG\|/r/neofag]]. Following [http://np.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/39bpam/removing_harassing_subreddits/ the announcement], Redditors [[BAWWWWW\|collectively shit their britches]] in upset. Users flooded the [[lol\|front page of the Internet]] with [[fatties\|fatpeoplehate material]], [[nazi]] imagery, and photoshops of [[Ellen Pao]], the CEO of Reddit. To these [[Keyboard Warriors\|brave, principled souls]], Chairman Pao was violating their sacred rights to [[snca\|FREE SPEECH]] by enforcing the rules of the privately-owned, for-profit website that users can leave at any time. Users gave [[nobody cares\|impassioned]], [[tldr\|poetic]] speeches about how [[fallacious reasoning\|the admins were going to ban offensive subs]] and turn Reddit into a "[[Safe Space]]". Despite the fact that /r/fatpeoplehate was banned for [http://www.reddit.com/r/hangryhangryFPHater well-documented] large-scale harassment and spamming "[[trying too hard\|found the fatty!]]" all over Reddit, and widely-loathed places like [[nazi\|/r/antiPOZI]] and [[gamergate\|/r/KotakuInAction]] were still allowed to exist. In reality, the likely reason for the banning of /r/fatpeoplehate was because the users were so [[evangelical]] about the sub that their [[annoying\|constant references]] to it skyrocketed its visibility and made Reddit less palatable to advertisers. [[obvious\|Who would have guessed that a company doesn't want to bleed money]]?		After the conspiracy theorists returned to Reddit, Voat again sat in relative obscurity.

	Thus began the mass migration to Voat. /r/fatpeoplehate established a 'subverse' on Voat so they could make fun of fat people in peace, and it's subscriber count quickly rose to 10k. Outraged against Reddit's heinous violation of their freedoms, and fearing that they too would get the [[banhammer]], Redditors from places such as [[racists\|/r/coontown]], [[virgins\|/r/theredpill]], [[Cuddle Party\|/r/subredditcancer]], [[schizophrenia\|/r/conspiracy]], and [[Nerd Rage\|/r/kotakuinaction]] [[ragequit\|followed suit]] while continuing to actively whine about Reddit and its [[Oppression\|oppressiveness]]...[[Pathetic\|on Reddit]]. The massive spike in traffic brought down Voat's servers for days, as they had previously been accustomed to hosting a handful of users and a piece of string.
