then you haven't experienced much of voat. go post off-topic comments in v/historyanecdotes right now! enjoy! i'm kidding i'm not advocating breaking locke's rules. just letting you know there's an actual mod deleting and banning subjectively sometimes but not other times.
i don't know about the other sites you linked
if they're found to break voat rules (ala rule one of v/til) it will be deleted anywhere.
please, take a look everyone, ill source this op's claim.
https://archive.fo/8FtVA that's what he posted priceonomics.com a data tracking company selling products with a very strangely posted article on drinks. look at the site. why is that post on a site like that?
hm. ok find the actual source in the article proving op's claim in the post title
oh here it is in the atlantic! not on priceonomics. https://archive.fo/XDpFW that was linked in the priceonomics as the source as to martini's creation being in america and in the 19th century.
THAT story links back to guess what a fucking wikipedia link to source their claim!
in which it doesn't even fucking say he invented it.
oy vey. coulda just said rule 3 or whatever.
please properly source your fucking claims op lol
also priceonomics seemed to be a data mining site or selling stuff, an the article was out of place, possibly to lure innocent views for hmm... data mining!
you could have done the work clicked back A WHOLE TWO TIMES to the source and posted that but NOOOO
you posed to that priceonomics shit.
try harder when you post
that's the problem, not me
i even just follow the rules of the sub the community hasn't bitched about. there's a sticky up you can discuss the rules. community makes them. i just mod.
in the future, when you post low effort links to shit sites that are bait for profit and/or that are factually incorrect or not proven at all, in other words.
when you break the rules of the sub, i will in the future clearly slowly tellyou what you did and help you figure it out and repost. a little after you i started doing just that.
i've never modded before.
i'm also an asshole.
so there's that. you know free speech and fuck you and all.
While I can agree that the source was shit (I’ve since started paying better attention to this, including posting archive links), I disagree with your conclusions about the validity of what I posted in that TIL – the correct Wikipedia source was present in the article, you just ignored it or missed it.
The title of the post was “TIL that the modern cocktail is an American invention that first appeared in New England and New York in the 1800’s” – I did research it, and if you go to the Wikipedia page for cocktails, it reinforces the claim that the modern alcoholic cocktail originated in the US in the 1800s. The link to that Wikipedia page is also posted in the article along with the Atlantic article you mentioned, but it’s further down.
you could have done the work clicked back A WHOLE TWO TIMES to the source and posted that but NOOOO
I did do the work, I just thought the article would be more interesting than a Wikipedia page because it provided more contextual info, but I know better now.
in the future, when you post low effort links to shit sites that are bait for profit and/or that are factually incorrect or not proven at all, in other words.
Since I’ve shown that it wasn’t factually incorrect or unproven, that leaves low effort links to bait sites, which wasn’t my intention, and which I’ve improved upon since then.
In any case, I don’t plan to post to TIL again so it’s probably a moot point now anyway. Happy new year, go fuck yourself.

I experienced something similar with @sanegoatiswear, although the reason given when he deleted my submission was "rule 1. personal use. shite site.". I followed up for clarification, but he didn't respond. Ironically, it's the only negative mod experience I've had on here.
