Am I the only one that doesn't give a shit? Both of these subs now are full of posts accusing the other of being shills and insinuation that theirs is the correct sub. Fuck off.

I don't believe everything I read, and neither should you. If you do, you're fucking retarded. I don't come here for that bullshit. I come here to see if any interesting tidbits from the Chans or Twitter that I may have missed have filtered through. That's about it. I feel like I'm caught in a squabble between a bunch of petulant children.

You're not the only one, although I do care a wee bit more than you. I've almost never interacted with a mod nor had any need to. I never felt like there was any issue at r/greatawakening, as I certainly never had an issue. That said, your post was about thread moderation being a bit juvenile when the real reason we are here is to follow the greatest story ever told (maybe 2nd greatest in deference to my Christian brethren).

My response to that is that it seems that there are very sincere "Goats" who are concerned with the integrity of "their" home site. I can respect that, and I'll visit both of these Voat threads for now, as both have some good Q-comment......the reason I come in the first place.

Let me add to what @kevdude said here:

For goats, every single thing your mods have done has been a burning affront to everything we stand for here. Our sense of justice has been run roughshod over, and we will DEUS VULT all over these faggots until they disappear for good from everything but a footnote in the history of Voat.

Shitting on the carpet in OUR HOUSE, and attacking OUR GOATS with such pathetic lies and deceit, leading sheep into our pen and trying to ANIMAL FARM those bitches RIGHT UNDER OUR GOAT NOSES.

I have NEVER seen the goats unify like this, in order to LIBERATE the brainwashed masses from their controlling mods instead of just repelling ALL of the users and I'm so goddamned proud of them.

DEUS VULT you glorious goat motherfuckers.

For what it's worth:

I'm speaking on behalf of myself, and hopefully some of the r/greatwakening orphans, ya'll keep referencing "our mods".

I reiterate that I don't give a rat's patootie about any Reddit mod. I lurked there for a few months and joined on July 27th because the discussion there was compelling. If the mods contributed to that by providing a good forum, then they deserve a bit of credit.

That said, I come here with as much humility and knowledge as god has granted me, and this forum is a good substitute.

When I showed up at the r/greatawakening board, I was welcomed with open arms and a ton of love. Ya'll have fallen a bit short of that bar. But I'm here now, and it is YOUR board, so be a bit more cordial and demonstrate that you care more about saving the freaking world from a$$holes than saving your precious thread from invaders, and let's focus this energy on making the world a better place.

(FYI, I can handle profanity. I choose not to use it too often so please leave that lecture for others)

I'm sorry if v/GreatAwakening didn't feel welcoming to you. I know @srayzie has tried hard to help out the refugees and make the environment as welcoming at possible. I have seen lots of regular users being welcoming and trying to help as well. I have tried to say hello and welcome to new people who are commenting about being new, or who have questions.

Of course there will always be jerks and shills anywhere who just want to disrupt and cause problems. I am hoping that if they are who you experienced, you will stick around and see most people on this forum aren't that bad! Most of the regulars are very passionate about Q and saving the country. If you feel that way as well, and approach the sub with the same good attitude you presented in your comment, I have no doubt you will become a respected part of this sub.

I hope you will stick around and participate im sure you will see it's a pretty good place to be!

I believe @crensch was speaking more about the voat community in general because he's not a mod or a regular contributor on v/GreatAwakening. He has graciously been helping srayzie handle the recent shill attacks, and with behind the scene mod stuff since this sub has grown exponentially in a very short time.

Thanks for your response, and this thanks includes a few others who have responded to me on this thread.

After my first post, one of your peeps sent me a message warning me about the former Reddit mods/NeonRevolt/etc... It was probably a very well-intentioned post, but it lacked context so I had no information to make an informed decision about what was going on.

Since then, things seem to have settled down a bit and I've found v/GreatAwakening to be much more welcoming. I'm feeling comfortable on both threads.

I wasn't the cause of the disruption here, but certainly understand the angst all of us coming here and messing with your zen has caused. I think we'll all be fine, especially after FISA declassification.

Cheers my fellow Patriots.
