What is going on? (AskVoat)

submitted ago by MiG-21

and how long are we going to be down?

and that is the whole point of this lockdown? I doubt voat is still under DDOS attack(and even if we assume it is, wouldn't it be reasonable to think that if some forces have been attacking voat constantly for months, they will keep attacking voat forever?), it has been fucking months since we are down.

Owner proudly claims that:

This is where I think the hand of God works in mysterious ways. They next came after Voat, but because of the recent attacks, Voat was inaccessible to those without accounts, thus giving them zero content in which to twist and distort in order to pressure a company like CloudFlare

Am I the only one who thinks this is extremely illogical ? Declaring a victory over hate police because they were unable to 'shut us down'? no shit, they couldn't shut us down, we shut ourselves down. I think owners don't understand that they took us down,for 99.99999% of internet-they took us down, no one but registered users can access voat, I have no access to stats, but I am fairly sure that our already small population decreased even further (and vorse, right now it has zero chance of growth) Voat is nothing more than some well hidden discord group or closed niche community on major websites.

Here comes a question, sure, they didn't shut us down, but what is the point of websites' existence in this circumstances ? Can site owners tell us what goals hate police would have achieved with shutting voat down what they haven't achieved with this self imposed lockdown anyway ? is becoming small closed community group with several hundred people (at best) aim of voat? because if it is, I doubt hate police has anything against that.

and finally, what the heck are site owners planning to do ? Are you guys just waiting it to stop ? or planning to do something? and most importantly, what the heck is the strategy of the website? what is the aim?

  • Registration is locked down to keep us from contaminating any more right-thinking friendlies.
  • The way to mitigate a DDOS attack on a website is not to require registration to view it; it can still be attacked regardless.
  • The site's overwhelmed with normie-tier, facebook garbage and civnat, "muh based coloreds" hogwash. It's completely unrecognizable at times.
  • Lots and lots of twitter links. I wonder why? Why is a platform designed for women and gays to spread gossip as quickly as possible being shilled so hard here of all places?
  • Why does the site hang when you submit a post? 8chan did the same thing since the 'hack' of APR 2018 until the day it went down.
  • I've noticed an uptick in pornposting when browsing /v/all. Seems to be garden variety stuff for now, but trannies and nigger dicks can't be far behind.

The idea is to water the place down. It'll either become a neutered, leftist-approved self-parody of itself (4chan), or will get shut down entirely (8chan).

  1. Dry up the user base. No new users means no new content. The site is currently the same 100-200 people posting A) How bad niggers are; B) How great Hitler was; and C) Twitter/social media links.
  2. People get bored and move on. You can only listen to how bad niggers are and how great Hitler was for so long. People are just going to quit coming here. Where is there even left to go? Disqus comment sections? Have fun arguing with boomers about our greatest ally forever.
  3. The doors get reopened and the place fills with normies and civnat faggots. They're actually already here. It was the Qtard influx from a year ago, and they're itching to turn the whole site into /r/the_donald.
  4. People left from before are sickened by what they see, completely overwhelmed, and they leave. The whole site becomes leftists arguing with civnats about how much money Israel needs this year and how many niggerdicks to suck on a Friday night.
  5. Nobody's allowed to complain about anything. "Muh free speech." "Why are you even here?" "Just delete your account." The site is objectively shit compared to even six months ago. But you're not allowed to say anything about it. People filling the front page with twitter links and blurry, grainy, resized, cropped and watermarked stale memes from six years ago is somehow "free speech". Don't like it? Leave.

People are, and people will. That's why the site's shit.

Other than your pessimism I agree with 95% of your words, thanks.

I actually GOT OFF MY ASS and posted my heart out last month to make voat.co better in all ways and in none of the ways you are mad about : look at my content, most of it unique when posted to voat.co, and some hand tweaked images : LOOK! : https://voat.co/u/udo/submissions

Those are a varied and nice set of posts that voat.co liked. And not one twitter. In fact...

I NEVER EVER EVER read or click on TWITTER LINKS EVER!

I did locate a tool web site that will repack a twitter link and in your browser give you the video media, but I was being literal.

Your main complaint seems to be that people like me are normally apathetic, except when voat.co is in trouble and thirsty for content, and that even then I only post once every 2 days or so.

Truth be told: I AM VERY unimpressed with your engagement from YOUR recent month's submissions and your average effort and lack of SCP : look and see : https://voat.co/u/Armpit_and_Ass/submissions

LOOK!, then compare to mine :

https://voat.co/u/udo/submissions

I am EXACTLY like you in spirit, but I am taking effort to keep voat.co impactful, even though I have almost NO TIME to do this.

I HAVE NO GODDAMN TIME for keeping voat.co thriving, but at least unlike you, I prioritized voat.co to make it a critical "to do" goal of mine to keep voat.co alive.

Look at my fucking post history the last month or two! CCP 3,300 and in under two months : joined on: 7/14/2019

under two months and CCP 3,300, and its all high effort posting comments too :

https://voat.co/u/udo/comments

LOOK!

Even every copy/pasta you have ever seen me post was invented and penned by me, by the way. By ME.

I have done more than anyone here except the admins to keep voat.co thriving this last month, and I accept your criticisms, but I want you to know the problem is there are not a lot of people like me on voat.co to make a difference.

Too many passive readers, ... NOT ENOUGH CONTRIBUTORS of high effort posts.

I too am EQUALLY as sad and disenfranchised by you, but you hating on The_Donald and chasing off The_Donald people from voat.co, basically caused the turning point in killing off voat.co

voat.co could have got far far far more than the v/QRV , v/milliondollarextreme, and v/TheDonald addons, and their maturity and their intellect, if they embraced The_Donald.

Did you see the repercussion? The_Donald is 100% a dead subverse now because of voat.co cliques and people like you bitching about who is more alt-right than who. Don't believe me? LOOK ! Look at it now :

https://voat.co/v/TheDonald

its 100% fucking DEAD, and the week of the immigration it would have added thousands of thousands of people, and yet all the male porn off topic posts killed it dead and killed voat.co growing with more alt-right.

I disagree with you claiming "That's why the site's shit." ! That is a divide and conquer tactic a jew would try, or a tactic Share Blue would try here.

I never one time EVER mentioned israel or "our greatest ally", check my post comment history, or other things you hate (civnat discussions). I name the jew a goddamned hell of a lot though, with good reason.

I Know where SOME of the higher IQ, helpful members like me have gone off to, but I would not want to see your toxic and negative attitude showing up there.

I get it. You wish everyone was JUST LIKE YOU, well guess what... I am almost just like you, but my work on voat.co is 100% opposite of you. I want voat.co to get in shape enough to become infamous, but doing so implies it will be flooded with highschoolers, and it NEEDS Q and it NEEDs some of reddits The_Donald people to buffer the high school crowd that will enter when the press DEMONIZES VOAT and the (((TV))) will definitely start demonizing voat.co and the high school kids will DEFINITELY come in huge waves.

Voat.co needs to focus on 100% free legal speech and you seem to have a few odd opinions on that notion.

In summary : you think we praise hitler too much : I never once praised hitler, and only mentioned minro corrections to errors twice when his name was brought up, even though personally I know how great he was.

You think Twitter/social media links infest voat, but I never once posted ANY and never click on any such links.

You think 100-200 people are posting How bad niggers are: well myself and many family members were BRUTALLY and SAVAGELY attacked by niggers in the past, home invasions, car attacks, raped, and even MURDERED by a mob of niggers, so FUCK YOU YOU GODDMAN NIGGER-LOVER! I hate niggers and it occupies only 10% of my posts. I think you can take 10% of my rage. I WILL NOT TONE IT DOWN! NEVER ! EVER!

10% or so max anti nigger : https://voat.co/u/udo/comments

Your comments Armpit_and_Ass in comparison are interesting to me in a variety of ways : https://voat.co/u/Armpit_and_Ass/comments

Reading it, it looks like you are always seeking to REDUCE participation on voat.co and reduce free speech. I am just being literal based on your own words, even though we THINK the same, you act far differently. I want more users, and I want 100% free speech. Conservative thought thrives in free speech and socialist ideas fail and cannot hold up to logic and scrutiny.

Oh well, You will just call me a Qumer/Qtard/DonaldZOG/Boomer/Shill/Rabbi/Fag/Queer or whatever you type to disenfranchise people from voat.co

Your pessimism is sad, and I am losing energy trying to keep these plates spinning, as a entertaining clown, spenging lots of time trying to keep voat.co from withering.

If voat.co goes away, the ONLY 100% free legal-in-USA speech social site also goes away. Even Gab.io banned JQ naming politicians under false pretenses.

(excuse all my typos, I never proof read my ramblings.)

Long live voat.co and try harder to post engaging comments and posts, in this current assumedly brief DARK ERA
