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.

I've had an account since alpha. I barely comment since for the most part there is rarely anything worth commenting on. It's just the same low effort shit over and over again, and a good portion of it is easily shown to be wrong if you took two seconds to google it.

Also, even though it doesn't seem that hard to do, reaching the vote threshold to have an impact on the content is hard to reach when it seems like the vast majority of the content on here is propaganda and idiots posting 4chan level posts while missing the irony of 4chan.

So, might be entirely wrong here, but VOAT is super non-friendly to new users and most content is probably created and up-voated by people with alt-accounts and bots.

Pretty much this. I've found a couple people that were interesting to talk to but this is like finding survivors in a zombie apocalypse. Sometimes I come back and post regularly for a month or so, and I actually do put a lot of effort and research into my posts. I feel kind of obligated to be the voice of reason because there's usually nobody else who isn't busy circle jerking.

But then people will usually just call me a Jew or a nigger until I get bored and leave, rather than actually trying to discuss the topic at hand.

VOAT is full of little edgelords and people who think some random blog post justifies their random ass conspiracy theories. VOAT is also full of some of the most fragile snowflakes who can only react by throwing some random ass slur at someone from the safety of their computer.

I'm checking in today more than I typically do since I am slightly amused by the amount of people down voting my comments like I give a damn about them. Freaking snowflakes on here can't take criticism and get butthurt the second someone pokes their little protective bubble that VOAT created by not being welcoming to anyone new to the site.

Most of the posts on here just make the users looks like pathetic little shits.

At least 4chan and similar sites can be funny. VOAT is just low effort retarded half of the time with the shit content provided by the "dominant" users and shill accounts.

Hey @Rasimov Faggot,

The term Conspiracy Theory was weaponized in 1967 by the CIA as a way to denounce anyone challenging the narrative of an official report. What report had just come under scrutiny at that time? The Warren Report, investigating the JFK assassination, where a cooperative effort to investigate was robbed from the FBI & Senate, and given to a Jew named Earl Warren at the behest of a COMMUNIST NEWSPAPER demanding so. So using that term only means you can't prove your statements.

I'm checking in today more than I typically do since I am slightly amused by the amount of people down voting my comments like I give a damn about them. Freaking snowflakes on here can't take criticism and get butthurt the second someone pokes their little protective bubble that VOAT created by not being welcoming to anyone new to the site.

Cry harder, faggot. You're visiting on a sleeper account, bashing the site you claim to hate, and as you act like you don't care about downvotes you still feel the need to mention it. What criticism have you even offered? You never responded to the rebuttals from your other cry-mments.

Most of the posts on here just make the users looks like pathetic little shits.

Compared to what, plebbit? Where anything that disagrees gets banned by snowflake mods? I'd like examples, and not just cherry picking what I'm saying here, I want past conversations you've had on here illustrating that.

At least 4chan and similar sites can be funny. VOAT is just low effort retarded half of the time with the shit content provided by the "dominant" users and shill accounts.

4chan has been cucked as long as plebbit; "OMG ITS HAPPENING!!! BASED NIGGER!!! WW3 ABOUT TO KICK OFF!!!' They have a larger amount of the "little shits" you're eluding to. Keep crying though, you're still here "amused" and something makes you log in to see what's going on. Did you get your copypasta to take to r/MeanWhileOnVoat?

You'd probably get more respect by presenting facts instead of whambulancing that no one likes you. It's kind of funny, in your rant that people are mean to you, you're ratting yourself out as so weak you are completely unable to counter it, in the same breath you cry about us being snowflakes lol.

Exactly what I thought

Rasimov ago

What you thought? You just wrote what people typically write when they pull random bullshit out of their ass to defend their beliefs that are founded on nonsense. You sound like those nutjob tinfoil hat conspiracy retards that will pull the most random blog to back their beliefs.

antiliberalsociety ago

You just wrote what people typically write... You sound like... Y'all just tinfoil hat conspiracy retards.

Color me absofuckinglutely shocked you can't post a single fact. Your argument is that of emotion, like women and soyboy liberals. All you're missing is emojis.
