Quoting the OP:
VOAT is an echo chamber. On Reddit I am an alt-right bigot but on VOAT I am a super left leaning SJW. Because I call out someone that says women are trash and Mexicans/Jews are subhuman on v/funny I get downvoted 40 times. This means I can no longer submit posts on my own subverse or send messages to anyone.
Essentially if you aren't a racist / incel you will be censored. The site is hopeless until they fix this. Your current CCP should not matter. They should let you post and do what you want after reaching 10 upvotes regardless of the amount of downvotes you have to prevent being brigaded.

Reddit does something similar, but only limits your posts on the specific sub you were downvoted on, doesn't stop you from posting entirely.
Voat is an echo chamber by design.
