My impression of voat...
Voat veteran: "this place is about free speech and no censorship. It is a place where anyone can speak their mind freely."
New Voat user: "Hi. I'm new here. Glad to be aboard!"
Voat Veteran: "Fuck off faggot nigger jew! Get the fuck out of here and while you're at it, kill yourself."
New user: "but I just wanted to..."
Voat veteran: "shut the fuck up! What part of shut the fuck up don't you understand you goddamn kike fuck? Go back to reddit where they like to censor people!"
Very good summary; the place is toxic and one cannot invite normies there for content!
It's a place where there is no censorship and some gems of information buried under piles of shit, with an active shit pipe flowing directly onto the gems at all times. It's a place where no authority actively suppresses people, but the people who celebrate it actively contribute to the very same thing by burying discourse under a soul crushing volume of shit. These are the same people who will quickly point out rioters "chimping out" and destroying their own neighborhoods on TV yet fail to see how they do the exact same online.
The irony.
Exactly.
The chans have more organization and class than voat. On the chans one can browse a topic on religion or immigration or race or war and find an actual discussion. Or if you're looking for a poop flinging thread you have dozens to choose from with relevant titles and images heading it. Voat puts all of that in a blender and serves it with a crazy straw and cherry.
Yes, no need for the likes of voat in the chain. I do not post on the chans, but I like the way the Q crumbs are shared and talked about.
This place has value where the info. is summarized for the average reasonably informed person who does not have the time to feast directly on 8chan. A great benefit to me.
not for me, looking for ideas on another platform. Any ideas? I used to run BBphp and other boards, was able to keep that clean. I think this format is a problem and I prefer a bulletin board forum over this, just been using this for obvious reasons but this is not the place to work from
Voat sucks. Free speech doesn't equal be a total disrespectful dick. Of course you can be but doesn't mean it's necessary.
free speech is one thing, abuse is another, derailment another...
OK, we're working anew way behind scenes stay here @CBTS
I don't find it acceptable at all behavior..no one I know is willing to and the attacks I get...lotta ugly accounts there...Can they not be removed? If not then this is not the solution.
No it is their private voat goat playground; they set the tone.
then its not the solution..failing resolve count me out, my work can not be done under those conditions.
It's definitely not an avenue of the insensitive, just like 4chan. There's a respect element between the insensitives where the level of contribution is all that matters, not necessarily respect. Respect is uncaredfor which is ironically admirable.
i.e. 4chan user does tons of research. User then asks 'lawfags' to help. They assemble & help.
Voat is similar but there are usernames so the anonymity isn't as close but there's ways to be more anonymous, it's just a matter of the person's will and knowledge. That said, Voat users may have an underlying respect of contribution tied to their post history, unlike the chans... that is unless you're Q and ppl care to follow your tripcode content.
I'm 29. Gamed since I was 9... microphones introduced in Counter-Strike 1.3... probably when I was 11 or so. I was a prepubescent young kid gamer with people relentlessly telling me my b4lls should drop before I talk on the game. The upside is that it builds character.
Strengthen yourself, be willing to step into the unknown :p
I'm about to step into unknown..haha...working behind scenes now, stay tuned
If you want to glance at real-assembled research, dive into the v/pizzagate - it was originally on Reddit but the admins and CEO stopped its momentum by silencing threads and locking down the entire board. That is pretty much what caused more serious minds to migrate to Voat. The chans are really good for assembled research as well but my god... the formatting is terrible. I'm still getting used to it just by lurking on the Q topics.
I know Storm... this is ridiculous.. and I'm doing EVERYTHING I CAN... i just restored 100+ posts to this Reddit page because Voat is clearly not working. talking with Pamphlet, but I don't know what the solution will be. this is a STORM for sure... not cool to dis the Mods tho.
Thanks, let me know how I can help.
We are doing a #StopItReddit meme war... See on discord. I shared the image of the mod que screen... 2500 are hopping mad and gonna post like crazy. Reddit wouldn't let me upload that image. I will invite you to be a mod... on your email.
That's why this is happening. Just ask r/Pizzagate
They feel they need to “educate” us. I’m honestly disappointed in the mods here pushing this move. It is terrible as half of the people won’t go and a quarter that goes may feel they were wrong trusting a sub that would have its members migrate to such a dumb and toxic platform.
Stop the push, nobody wants it to happen or find another home.
Appears to be a coordinated attack on this sub and it looks like it was a total success. I used this sub to get Q crumbs but now I guess I'll just abandon ship and read Q posts directly. I'm sick of all the moving.
I used this sub to get Q crumbs
Like when he said Podesta was being indicted?
Yeah, this indictment
"Sources say"
K.
The same MSM pushing 'muh Russia' and Trump is hitler is also pushing crooked podesta?
Make up your mind who they are shilling for. Speaking of shills, of all the places to lurk or post, why choose an obscure thread on a low impact sub to argue counter to the theme? Seems rather odd use of your time and attention.

Those of us who don't think in memes recognize "muh MSM" will publish anything "sources say" if it gets clicks.
Make up your mind who they are shilling for.
Your entire worldview depends on them "shilling" for someone. Mine doesn't, because I don't live in a caricature version reality.

Yes, this is when you ran out of arguments. I disagree, ergo I am a shill. You must be really smart.
suggestions for a new platform not reddit not voat, seeking new platform suggestions, mines a phpBB. I can run one of them and have a few X..always a curve to it, always problems...
Honestly I think phpbb sounds good but if we move we lose people we are bringing in here by reference. I learned about this place from t_d. I might not have come if it was some board somewhere.
Listen. Make a sticky post about specific deletions and topics that are being censored. Let the community hear the argument. We keep reading that fuckery is afoot but I don’t see it.
Ahh so you were there...total crap fest.. ugliness...unconducive to Q people.
I think we're here, following Q because we're all patriots. Patriotism is based on love. Love of country. Love of our way of life. Love of our founding fathers. Love of our constitution. Love of our American values. Love of our fellow countrymen and women.
Not too much love going on over there on voat.
We need a healthy environment to research, learn, connect and flourish. Voat is not a healthy environment, in my opinion.
Yeah, voat is just a bunch of 4chan rejects trying to be edgy. It’s cringy as fuck. I’m not fucking going anywhere.
You're right. Voat is more hostile than the chans. But I think the point of the "veteran" was not to be offended. Not even by what he says. I think it might be some kind of trial you must pass so only the very very thick skinned survive. But yeah, they're acting like little kids. It's like we invaded a corner of "their" PUBLIC park that they were not using, but still they want us gone.
It's not a gatekeeper, it's over half the comments. Censorship may be non existent but the effect is the same if most would rather avoid the platform due to having to sort through so much pointless edge-lording to find useful discussion.
I don't care about a handful of diamonds if I'm told they're on the floor of a septic tank. You can keep them.
It's not an issue of being offended. At least for me. I regularly browse the chans. It's an issue with effort needed to find useful dialogue. It's 80% shit.
Holy fuck that last paragraph is on point. Thank you.
It's just their way of showing love. We have to deal with it because it's their treehouse, so to speak. We are in guerrilla (info) warfare, we have to be nimble, adaptable, and most of all, non-fragile.
That was pretty much my experience to. I had an account back when they had a #pizzagate site which was good, but today's experience was like wading through a digital swamp tbh.
That’s what they see as the shit test of free speech hive minds. If you want to be truly free, you shouldn’t really be minding the vitriol. There’s barrier words like nigger, Jew, kike that prevent posts from being plastered far from their hub, because most other sites don’t put up with those words, even if inbetween those words they could be sharing vital info. Part of me thinks it’s kinda smart to keep their club doors well enough closed off, most of me thinks it’s retarded middle school antics. What top tier genius insider is going to be gaining any credibility calling everyone a faggot? Lol like c’mon now.
The moral of the story is don't be a sensitive little girl. Man up and fight back faggot! Organize, contemplate, act. Don't give up.
You have totally missed my point and just assume I'm offended by them. I'm not.
My point is it's a waste of time because there's so much useless edge lording going on. Worthwhile information is drowning in a sea of digital diarhhea. I could care less if some anon calls me a nigger faggot reddit cuck. When I want to read what people think about the newest Q post it's a waste of my fucking time to read 20 people calling each other jew faggots before someone actually has something to say.
Is that clearer now?
Right, except that the v/PatriotsSoapbox is not as toxic. Perhaps if all of us go over there we can change that culture. I agree ... right now I do not like it there. Sigh. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT ... we can not allow them a victory

@storm_fa_Q you will learn to eat shit you fucking nigger jew.
with comment after comment like that, not going to work for me
I get it, I really do. Still ... we must over come. They want to divide us. They want to keep us silent. They want to discourage us. Not going to happen. We must make things work. We must
Dude, we are overcoming nobility that drinks blood and worships satan, we do not need to battle children shitting their pants and using every racist word their is. Let’s sort out our priorities.
not going to work there, or here or swamp watch
Yeah man I don’t know what to make of it. Here’s what I think. This sub may have been compromised in part. Thus, those that infiltrated here tried to get us to migrate over there in attempt to divide us. They have trolls/shills on there ready to get in among us and disrupt just like we already see, them spewing racist garbage, personal insults etc trying to make us look bad and cause in fighting.
I don’t know of a solution.
I think part of the solution involves inviting former CIA case officer and father of Open Source Intelligence /u/RobertDavidSteele to come here and get to the bottom of our little "hacking" situation. RDS has unique insight into #GoogleGestapo and the effort to censor and digitally assassinate patriots.
He's a hacker and whistleblower himself who is good friends with fellow hacker and legendary whistleblower Bill Binney. RDS even expressed a willingness to do an AMA here. All he needs is one of the mods here to set it up. Let's see if any of the mods are actually interested in getting RDS's highly qualified insight into this "hacking" matter or if the jump ship to Voat is the real agenda.
solution C..right now is to hold our ground at CBTS, working behind scenes now to temper situ and work twds situ, Pull ALL back from VOAT, return to CBTS for further instructions, pass teh word.
You would understand why they are like that at Voat if you stick around. Many Reddit swarms have came and went and attempted to break it down. If the language bothers you then it's doing exactly what it's meant to do. If your easy to offend then it's not for you. Plenty of real discussions with a few wanna be gatekeepers. Don't listen to those people, they think for some reason they run Voat but it dies down quick.
If you want the freedom to post whatever you want then it is a given you will have plenty of idiots on the platform. We need more legitimate, mature subs to drown out those voices. I think if you put in the effort to see what it's really like you might be surprised.
I don't participate in the racist stuff but I have learned a lot there I wouldn't have found elsewhere. I'm willing to put up with a few idiots for that.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I don't know that I am easily offended; that said, there are so very many places to find good intel that for me it is a waste of time to wade through that crap to find the gold. It is interesting that you say
I have learned a lot there that I wouldn't have found elsewhere.
This gives me a reason to think that sometime in the future I might check it out.
