What if the barrages of upvotes are are seeing in posts, are just the setup for the punchline that is a new user getting almost exactly the number of upvotes they need to get privileges on their very first post outside of v/pizzagate: (https://voat.co/v/whatever/1484385/7206936))
Or an account (https://voat.co/user/tzitzimitl/comments?page=15)) from 1.3 years ago that only posted for the first time a week before reddit banned pizzage, (1 month ago) getting 170 upvotes in less than 4 hours (https://voat.co/v/whatever/1484385/7206941)). Only to be replied to by a 21 day account that got 55 votes for (https://voat.co/v/whatever/1484385/7207361)) this little bit of fallacy.
Look through that thread if you need more proof of the folowing claim, its everywhere.
We are getting mindfucked hard right now. Fullblown psyop bullshit. These big posts with all the up/downvotes are simply a 'loud noise' to get everyone looking. The real purpose is to get these sleeper accounts and their 21 day old pals up to voting rights, and theyre setting up strawmen (in the form of the most offensive posts they can manage) for the sleepers to knock down, so we all start chanting "one of us, one of us," ect.
Last time I posted on this topic, I begged you guys not to go witch hunting. Today I'm telling you I don't really care what you do. We are too nice here, and we are going to lose our digital refuge again as a result.
Whatever the next site is that we all meet up on someday, just remember not to make that mistake again. Downvotes are there to keep the scum out.
Goddamn if this isn't a metaphor for the USA...

Always look for the ~1.4 year old accounts with practically no activity. Every fucking one of them is a shill account. It's kinda scary how many accounts they set up after the Pao diaspora.
I guess they just wanted to see if Voat would become a thorn in their sides. (hint: it did :-)

Its kinda tricky when the admins removed access to all comments older than page 19. I cant even verify that you or I have been posting longer than the last month. They killed voat last week, and it makes me really, really sad. It feels like losing a pet to a wild animal.
I want the next site to be:
1)invite only 2)open source 3)generally super fucking hard to get up/down vote privileges 4)not hosted by cloudflare 5)Hosted from servers based in the netherlands. 6)Mod free 7)One account creation per IP address (sort of like faccebook does with phone numbers)
Voat was a good trial run, but we can do better. Every time we learn a little more.

....and you ping me? Please?
If not, thats ok too. Whether I make it to the next place or not, i've become fond of a few goats round here.

Absolutely. I'm saving your comment now. I usually change my name when I move to new places but I'll tell you what my new name will be should we move.
