What can be done? VITAL CHART proves that VOAT IS DYING and 33% of people and postings LEFT in the last 12 months! WHY is voat DYING? How can we make voat grow or stop dying? This is dire! Help!

Lower IQ users on voat.co (I think of them as "normies") will downvote the facts below but...

VOAT IS DYING! 30% less participation!

I feel very sad at the following numbers :

Some blame the paranoid feeling when the site says "what did YOU do?" and think voat.co is blaming them and blocking them in timeout perhaps.

Over half the higher IQ people have possibly left voat, as such people actively flee perceived groups of "normies" in psychology papers and books covering high IQ.

That flight will always happen regardless without a regular influx of preferentially higher IQ people.

Voat.co is very high IQ now, but it was much higher, years ago.

Evidence?

I say it based solely on the actual scientists in the far past commenting in v/Science and the actual highly skilled engineers commenting in v/Technology in the far past.

The fleeing poindexters and smartypants creates a death spiral that chases off more and more eggheads.

It used to be called "MySpace" effect, or the "Digg" effect, and now termed the "Reddit" effect. High IQ people migrate to web sites offering higher intellectual discourse.

The_Donald exodus from Reddit to here could have quadrupled voat or far far more, but toxic attacks via gay male porn flooded v/TheDonald, and they went and created a "censoring" site 10 times larger than voat called https://thedonald.win/

v/QRV, v/GreatAwakening, and v/TheAwakening brought up IQ level a bunch, but it could have been more if less overall fights and cliques.

Toxic anti-Q anti-"boomer" anti-Trump rhetoric by disenchanters has its effect in killing voat too.

It is common among primates and humans to gang up and bond together tormenting chosen group members.

The relentless attacks on Q by older goats here is unwarranted, though sometimes funny in the NPC context this year.

A few of the older goats seem to enjoy antagonizing "QTards" "Boomers" "Political heads" "Qoomers" "Knowitalls" "Qfags" etc that were flooding into their formerly semi-static space.

A token tiny percentage of Q members on v/QRV could not handle "niggerfaggot" and "kike" but for all I know, they were voat false flag plants to draw anger towards Q. I myslef had Q subversive accounts created on standby.

v/milliondollarextreme came and then went, as other reddit failed migrations dwindled.

Well I hope everyone is happy with keeping voat.co smaller and stagnating... in fact SHRINKING!

What are ideas to get users to voat without accidentally letting any real world people know you use voat personally (doxx risk). Shill the link on other sites? Shill voat.co?

I bet the ratio of CIA glowniggers to non-glowniggers is now at an all time high on voat. Hello Mr. Fed !

NOTHING else out there is as good as voat.co, or offers true FREE SPEECH as voat. I like voat.co as much as anyone, but I can read a death spiral chart.

Voat.co is DYING!

That data in that chart is legitimate and REAL.

Other sites might be enticing users away, that do not mind semi-censoring pig admins that infest these :

https://phuks.co/

https://poal.co/

https://vnnforum.com/

http://niggermania.net/forum/ (good discussion of events on http://newnation.org/)

Who knows? All I know is the numbers in the charts do not lie. Voat.co lost 30% of its messages per day in one year of steady decline.

HOW CAN VOAT get back the 33% missing users?

HOW CAN WE BUILD UP VOAT.co?

If voat.co keeps dying from high IQ people fleeing, and Share Blue invading, I dislike the other semi-free-speech sites enough, that I feel I will just read it for v/Funny and v/News posts, not comments, and hate the universe.

THIS SUCKS SO BAD, and its so sad.

A combination of mass stupidity and deliberate sabotage will drive people away. We have toxic elements that abuse downvoting and based on these stats are also accounts with multiple users using them probably posting on shifts.

https://voat.co/v/VoatStatistics/3587666

Generally if posters are employing insults, downvotes, and downvoting older established users or sub owners it is a red flag.

One should be open to the very real possibility that some are stupid on purpose.

scandalous-goat ago

Talking to yourself again?

Joe_McCarthy ago

You called me a neo-Nazi on the Georgia Jones thread. I think that is very revealing.

scandalous-goat ago

Aren't you not?

Joe_McCarthy ago

No. But an intelligence agent interested in limiting my visibility and reach might think so. Not so much a Jew hating fringer like yourself though. Or what you pose as anyway.

scandalous-goat ago

Then why have you been hanging in neo-nazi forums and been sharing neo-nazi imagery for so long?

Joe_McCarthy ago

Now that's a rather complicated question. Probably a bit above the pay grade of FBI training manuals.

scandalous-goat ago

You're such a dishonest fucker. Did you register as a foreign agent?

Joe_McCarthy ago

I'm usually quite honest. Although I sometimes bait suspected intelligence agents. If you promise to be polite I'll even lift your ban in my sub and we can discuss, officer.

scandalous-goat ago

It's not necessary, you dimwit. People have been asking you about your motivation for ages and you refuse to be honest about it.

Joe_McCarthy ago

I made the offer. You just dodged. Telling.

scandalous-goat ago

Who cares about your shitty sub? The only reason I went there was to show what it's like having something you care about that's being pissed on.

Joe_McCarthy ago

You're a suspicious character that offers little more than insults, at best. The real question at this point is what your motivations are.

In any case you're a cancer poster. The very type I intend to help free Voat from.

scandalous-goat ago

Stop posting porn to system subs. You stop doing that, I quit being a dick. So easy and yet, you can't grasp this concept.

Joe_McCarthy ago

Uh huh.

scandalous-goat ago

It costs you nothing to try it out.

Joe_McCarthy ago

After this conversation there is no sure prediction what you'll do. I don't have another solo gif ready to hand anyway though. Plus someone important to me wants me to stop posting them. But we'll see on that.

You see, not everything is calculated to ignite a National Socialist revolution in the United States. Just most things.

scandalous-goat ago

You'll see. I argued with you in the past, that's what "social" media are for, but I never been harassing. I only started going on you since you decided it was a good idea to post porn in /v/whatever.

Joe_McCarthy ago

Well, I suspect yours is an older bought account. But admittedly I don't have strong evidence for that. Just suspicion. Plus I haven't looked thoroughly through your account yet. But I will. My shift lasts longer than 8 hours.

antiliberalsociety ago

So you can't downvote old established users or it's a red flag?

Coming from you that's hilarious.
