Moderators of Voat, what verses do you moderate? Why did you choose them?

Archived Moderators of Voat, what verses do you moderate? Why did you choose them? (AskVoat)

I decided to start /v/indiegames because I'm an indie game dev and while there's already a robust gaming community here, indies can get drowned out with all the discussion of big studio games. I'm trying to do something a little different, creating a niche spot for indie game fans and developers. That's why I'm encouraging self promotion of projects(as long as it isn't too spammy), and articles about game development along side the usual news and reviews.

We currently have 144 subscribers. I'd like to see a lot more, but it will grow with time.

I'm also moderating /v/pixelart because it's intrinsically tied to my passion for games and game development as well. Plus, I'm not half bad at pixel art so it gives me a spot to show off. Currently, we've got 40 subscribers over there.

Ok so I started /v/LiverpoolFC because I support the club, there aren't many football fans around though let alone Liverpool fans so it's kind of dead unfortunately, all my newer posts stay on 1. I had a second mod who was supposed to make the place look nice but he left Voat so if any Liverpool supporters want mod just ask me, we need a classy joint like the sub on Reddit!

I started /v/WildSpeculation because I had the idea that it would be nice to have a place to spill the hare-brained theories that we all have but have have no proof that they are true. That's a fun sub and it gets a nice bit of traffic. I added @SurvivorType because he can do CSS stuff but he's a decent chap and a good co-mod to have.

I requested /v/israelexposed because I am a strong supporter of the rights of Palestinians both in Israel and the occupied territories and I wanted to keep the sub alive. It has fuck all subscribers but a lot of the posts there get upvoted to front page so I guess people probably forget to subscribe, which I don't blame them for. I often go to submit a link to a subverse I enjoy only to find I'm not subscribed to it so it's easy to happen.

I got added to /v/introductions, which is also moderated by @SurvivorType and @farqanator, because I was quite active there saying hello to new users as it was so I was asked if I wanted to help moderate. It's a lot more work than I anticipated because it's super busy, particularly with the current influx, but I get to read a lot of funny and interesting introduction messages so I don't mind :)

I also got added to /v/shortstories just two days ago and it's awesome, some of the stuff people write and submit is seriously good. I really haven't done much but read stories for the last couple of days! It's a nice change from the news and politics stories where users all have very strong opinions, which is good but /v/shortstories is a nice change of pace :)

Just checked out short stories as well. I liked some of the stories I saw on the front page but haven't had a chance to check out any of the other works yet.
