They say yhat a lot of sjw's are factually retarded because karma /upvotes/likes are important to them. Imagine strangers "not known in real life" opinions are more important than truth, now that is a fucked up situation to live in, totally mental, I'm talking to redditors and facebookers. Also besides VOAT there is no open social media platform with totally free speech out there. I used to think Reddit was till the head admin paid off the other admins/mods and hired shills to get all the kid lemmings to fall in line by so called peer pressure. Fucking sjw's think they are making a difference till the globalist agenda kicks in and then the remember their group hates whites when they are tossed aside like a used comdom. These morons think they are so intelligent because a brainwashing teacher told them so "morons fall for this"

Voat is one of the last places and it governs itself very well. Even 4chan is not as open speech as Voat. 8chan maybe as equal, but even then I don't think it is.

I came to Voat a long time ago when the beginning of the end of Reddit took place. Disappeared for a while due to life because life just gets in the way sometimes, and then came back. Not much has changed here and I'm grateful for that.

I'm grateful enough to call out every single piece of shit on Voat like @diesel4420 for being the exact thing every person here despises. I did the same thing on Reddit years ago and was eventually removed from all of the places I modded there due to the fact that I highly supported free speech. Yea, that was a loooong time ago, but the belief I have for protecting free speech and allowing the community to govern itself is still there. Hence why I wont give up calling out diesel whenever I get the opportunity.

Reddit, Facebook, Instagram etc. etc. all run off the model of "popularity points". How may "likes" do I get. How many "upvotes" do I have? Here, its different where none of that fucking matters but those who come here from Reddit and the like don't understand that, so they try to make it like that, but it's not compatible.

Anyone who comes here and tries to pull the shit diesel is doing will definitely find that out the same way diesel is. The voat ecosystem is pretty incredible tbh. The open platform of free speech and community governing allows the community to control itself and whats great is, as Voat has been around for a couple years now and amassed a multi-million person user base, all with similar thoughts, it allows for those millions to come together and descend upon fuck faces like diesel

I was thinking and I do kind of like upvoats but not for what most people would think. Once in a while I'll post something and get upvoats like on the Linux sub I posted some wallpapers with the Linux system paths on it to help out the new people and the upvoats for me I liked because it showed I helped someone out and did something nice which means a lot in my book for myself because upvoats for me aren't pride or vanity but an indicator my action did something helpful to another person and that's it. It also showed me the general path or thing I can do in that area next time and motivates me to go out of my way to try to help out because it actually had enough effect for a voat as a signal.
