Recently, someone told me that I didn't know about the history of Voat prior to the period where many people joined during the Q rush. I actually joined during the Q rush without even knowing about the Q drops at all. There were some important names mentioned that I didn't know about either.
It would greatly help me if we could summarize the important history of Voat and the users that made this site what it is for the new people who are getting ready to join this community. If anything, I'd like to learn more about my home away from home.

Before the warrant canary died and this place became a Fed hangout?
SRS's Voat envory at SBBH spent years pretending to be retards, using the 40's and 50's CIA tactics to infiltrate extremely hostile environments and setup shop in various subs using Tavistock Institute ideology to suck in useful idiots, while hiding behind a multi-tiered structure of command and control they wielded to brigade contributing members of the community into quitting.
Oh.. wait.. that still happens today. Welcome to Voat!

Oh damn... I didn't think any one else was following along this closely.
Impressive, as usual.

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it again for posterity.
I'm just straight chaotic neutral so I don't give a fuck about anyone and just want the entire world to burn. That's all that really separates me from the subversives and the fanatics.

You want the world to burn? How can I trust a nutty fuck like that?

It's an idiom.
Join us. You'll see.
