what does this mean in deplorable layman terms?

18763433? ago

If we get banned from Voat and you want a reddit style replacement go to s/QRP on Poal. If you don't care about a reddit style replacement go to 8ch.

18763450? ago

Stop sabotaging our community and actively trying to herd people off the Q endorsed Voat subverse.

18763683? ago

We always have fallback positions. This is how we always roll. Cool your jets. We all know we will wait for Q to confirm before jumping fully. Q has bigger fish to fry than a power play against us that failed to hit its mark.

18763730? ago

No, this is community splitting that's being purposely done right before the declas and IG report are released. Don't all for it!!!

18764261? ago

The division attempts came from outside not from the mods. The mods are simply learning from it and preparing for any outcome.

The division attempts came from outside not from the mods. The mods are simply learning from it and preparing for any outcome.

A: The current mods are so fucking out of touch, that they didn't even fucking understand the basic mechanics of Voat (thinking that v/QRV doesn't show up on v/all).

B: The current mods are so fucking out of touch, they don't realize that directing people to poal is a move which serves the interests of the worst shills on Voat, v/realProtectVoat; If you think the degenerate braindead trolls from SBBH are bad, wait until you realize just how much and how subtly the v/realProtectVoat pieces of shit are playing you (mods and users alike).

C: The current mods are so arrogant and out of touch that they didn't do any homework about Voat and instead lashed out at @PuttItOut, thereby feeding directly into the agenda of both trolls and shills alike.

 

In conclusion, if the current mods do not have malicious intent (and that's at best a 50/50 at this stage), they are at best incompetent egotistic fools who need to wake the fuck up and get a fucking clue.

Nice way to break things down here, anon.

I'm a newfag. What's the difference between PV and RPV? I just found out about RPV today.

PV seem sketchy to me, too, though. Lots of powermods sitting on crossover subs and it doesn't look right to me.

I'm a newfag. What's the difference between PV and RPV? I just found out about RPV today.

PV seem sketchy to me, too, though. Lots of powermods sitting on crossover subs and it doesn't look right to me.

Let's put it this way:

rPV have been trying to push a "Voat is compromised" narrative since their inception as a subverse and for a long time prior to that too. The narrative has relied on various talking points over the years (I shit you not, dig around and you'll find the history) not least of all "because SBBH and ProtectVoat!".

Now, SBBH do themselves no favors in this never ending tussle, but really the rPV crew will latch on to anything if they think it will push people away from Voat. PV has been exploited before, but for the most part, they are consistent in their mission to ensure that moderator overreach is addressed.

rPV on the other hand, does nothing whatsoever and only stokes conflict. The subverse name is an ironic one, in that they do not have Voat's best interest in mind. One look reveals that they are largely behind to attacks on QRV and GA, using "because SBBH" as an attack vector - this is distinct from the trolling from certain people associated with SBBH.

The most unfortunate part here, is that SBBH has rPV-affiliated users who have inserted themselves under the guise of trolling. Many SBBH users cannot see this because for them, trolling and shitposting is life, so they mostly don't care.

So basically, rPV plays all sides both overtly and subtly, because they have an underlying goal of attacking Voat on the whole and quite particularly, the Q-related subverses. Again distinguishing attacks from annoying trolling, while noting that even the trolling has crossed a line of late.

 

There's a lot of history to wade through, but ultimately, remember the name Amalek if you decide to go digging and everything will become quite clear.

18798608? ago

I would add that goats are a very tolerant bunch when it comes to dissenting points of view and the responsibility of the information consumer to discern good from evil for themselves. Many, probably most, think the ying and yang of rPV vs. PV is a noxious but positive sign of Voat's healthy free market of ideas. Same for the chaotic neutral funhouse that is SBBH.

PV involves a lot of users who want to prevent Reddit cancer from taking root ever time there is a big migration from that censorship and ban-happy hellhole. Those folks also happen to be very good at exposing shills paid to subvert communities and push narratives here on Voat, because the tactics involved in that generally include calls for censorship, politically correct tone policing, etc. They bust a lot of heads. The negative publicity they create for those they target can result in a lot of downvotes for those individuals.

rPV was founded, as the name suggests, to discredit ProtectVoat, by people whose subversive activities brought them under the targeting sites of PV. They don't want this scrutiny and constantly claim PV are hypocrites whose insistence that all subverses adhere to certain anti-censorship standards is a form of censorship, and the publicizing of their conduct is really vote brigading. From what I've observed, these guys think free speech means freedom from consequences.

If you SearchVoat most of their usernames' comment contributions to v/Announcements, though, you will see a clear pattern of attempted disruption, Concern Trolling, demoralization and general destructiveness which makes their overall purpose here clear. They are anti-Voat.

That said, though, there is a positive side. Here's an analogy: A human immune system, if not exposed to parasitic organisms, has a tendency to develop autoimmunity, i.e. hypersensitive allergies and disease due to an overactive immune system. But expose the body to parasites, and the immune system learns to self-regulate as it does battle against the invaders. I see a similar dynamic between PV (Voat's white blood cells) and rPV (Voat's parasitic infection). Power corrupts, and PV is held accountable to some extent because rPV attempts to defame and discredit them. It's messy, but it works.

18798735? ago

Very well said, I must say.

18810071? ago

Thanks :-)

18792706? ago

Thanks for your explanation, anon. Amalek has been mentioned before in threads I've read. I never thought to do a search on that user, but I will now.

18773160? ago

You assume I’m ignorant to the games here. I watch them play out every day. It’s half the fun here. If I’m supposed to fear poal because more shills will try harder, let them come.

18773491? ago

can you direct me to the Q post where he says abandon voat and go to poal ?

18773496? ago

BO had to go take care of some IRL issues when the mod transition occurred here. This was not infiltration.

Shills are using false evidence to claim mods are corrupt. Do you see what I see? A campaign to justify forced sub transfer and the stripping of anonymity.

On Voat, the undesirables are shot in the dead of night by downvote parties. Speak the wrong words, offend the wrong power user, disagree with the wrong community and your account is disabled.

18775787? ago

So the v/realprotectvoat shills have your ear and have influenced you to distrust @PuttItOut. Congratulations. You have been played.

18775878? ago

Daddy Putt this person thinks things someone I don’t like thinks don’t let this happen daddy Putt, daddy Putt!!!!! I @ed you DADDY PUTT

18775918? ago

If you talk about people it is polite to notify them.

You people are stupid.

18775944? ago

I don’t understand your namefag culture, I’m from QRV, we don’t have names.

18775966? ago

You did on reddit stupid.

18776049? ago

It’s been years since I used reddit man, I’m from the chans

18776110? ago

I’m from the chans

Then ask why your mods want to move this place to websites that openly state that they will censor speech?

18776139? ago

Because they learned from the last attempt like the one made these last two days and set up an emergency exit. I don’t need to ask my mods. Now kindly fuck off back to your mods heels.

18776188? ago

They're "your mods" because you follow them.

18776198? ago

Too late.

18773518? ago

BO was neglectful in his responsibilities by not obtaining some trustworthy mods to act in his absence

fuck me, they're MIA while we're haemmorhaging active users

18773530? ago

Place seems more alive than it has been in recent weeks. Have any proof of this claim of lost users? QRV still trends #1 around here on those daily stats posts.

I trust the mods. Sorry you don’t.

18773676? ago

what fucking mods?

you yourself conceded BO is AWOL

as for the rest of them, there's only been 5 submissions deleted in the last 3 months

so much non-Q related garbage to filter through. Its like a junkmail sub

18773687? ago

Are you literally stupid? It was announced on the chans with a kind farewell from Q in a drop.

18773820? ago

oh, so we're officially rudderless

gee, I couldnt tell that from all the gay porn around here

18773893? ago

If you say so. Love how desperate the shills are for moderation all the sudden. Tell me how removing anonymity is important to protecting this community.

18773930? ago

thats easy

moderators can see the names of people posting porn etc, and warn them , and if they repeat the conduct : ban them from the subverse

how hard is that to comprehend ?

18773977? ago

How hard is it to comprehend that most of us are capable of ignoring it without some gate keeper assuming We need to be protected from big bad shills and dirty pictures? I’m a grown ass adult and don’t need some moderator wiping my ass for me.

18774040? ago

well if you love the gay & kiddy anime porn there's probably a gay porn subverse here. Fuck off there and knock yourself out

personally im unclear what it has to do with Q

18774062? ago

Has every thing to do with panic. It labels what we are meant to be distracted from. It’s a sign post that I rely on in part to understand the raw information feeding in from misinformation to hard facts, the accumulation of shilling, spamming, and real users forms an ecosystem that is entirely organic. No manipulation with special authorities. It’s an equal field for every one on all sides. Those who hate Q those who love Q and those who seek to destroy any thing that can be destroyed. This is all related otherwise it wouldn’t occur here. Especially the shilling and spam.

18774087? ago

see, now, ths is where a non-anonymous sub could come in handy

I could think to myself 'why is this guy taking a position that appears to support the proliferation of kiddie porn'

and i could drill into your comment history and see with transparency whether that was a distinct pattern of behavior, including forum sliding over on /pizzagate and disruptions on Q related pedo/human trafficking posts

I could see with clarity that while you are 'pretending' to be a free speech advocate, you are actually a child rapist advocate

18774108? ago

Fail your argument so now you accuse me of being a child rapist and my only way out is to abdicate my anonymity?

Sorry, not a child rapist, and I don’t have to prove I’m not. God knows and he is my armor.

18774140? ago

too thick to understand when someone's being facetious, eh

Im not genuinely accusing you of being a child rapist. Im pointing out how child rapists get to magnify their agenda on anonymous subs, and get sprung on non-anonymous subs

so maybe you're not a child rapist. But maybe you're a deep state shill who posts porn here to slide the forums and deter newbies

once again, on a non anonymous sub we would have the opportunity to detect those pattern in your posts.

Even Q isnt fully anonymous. He namefags by the name Q

or hadnt you noticed ?

18774149? ago

Pivot and double down. Good boy.

18774180? ago

which makes you doubling down on being at liberty to post kiddyporn

just using your own conversational standards on you.

how did we go, comparatively ?

18774185? ago

Moderators remove illicit content. Next?

18774204? ago

i dont take your point

are you saying 'slippery slope, next they start removing stuff on a political / ideological bias'

is that the argument you're making ?

18774219? ago

The argument I’m making is that the moderators do what is required for the safe operation of this board. No one is harmed in this making of the daily feed of posts and comments.

You crafted a quote out of thin air there. It’s not the argument I’m making it’s the one you’re hoping you can cause others to believe I’m making as it would allow you to craft your narrative around it.

18774245? ago

the movement is harmed by the mods current laisez faire approach to the shills porn attacks

its also extremely energy wasting. We could all be digging evidence rather than making false arguments about a freedom of expression that you fully well have here on voat but dont need to have on absolutely every subverse

unless, of course, you are a poster of gay & kiddy porn yourself

18774279? ago

I think you’re stuck in a loop. Your talking points are becoming circular.

18774363? ago

i look back throughout this conversation and think to myself : 'if this guy wasnt a geuine free speech absolutist and was actually a bad actor fighting to retain the Agency to disrupt the Q movement through porn spamming - how would he have handled this conversation differently ?'

and my answer to that is , keystroke for keystroke - there's nothing to distinguish your text from how a pornspammer would play it

18774390? ago

And only stripping me of anonymity would clear things up?

Say it! :D

18774553? ago

dont be a wanker. what hyperbole

you give up absolutely no liberty. you are still at liberty to post your kiddy anime porn here on voat on the appropriate subverse

and there is no safety in this exchange. Its simply about encouraging the movement to grow and stay on topic

why did that quote even come to your mind, its so off target.

and you actually stay anonymous - just with a handle. Like Q has a handle, but is still anonymous

so you still have no argument

'kiddy anme porn doesnt bother me so it shouldnt bother others' if a pissweak argument, and you havent provided any legitimate downside to namefagged anonymity, or how it might compromise the exchange of genuine Q related information

so i remain of the view that you must be someone who wants to disrupt the Q movement

18774605? ago

Still constructing that strawman of a smut peddler?

Encouraging the community to grow and stay on topic

By removing anonymity and banning, you intend to modify the behavior of people to place them on topic? And who gets to decide what is on topic? Did we just invent the censor again? Damnit, burn it down and try again.

18774825? ago

By removing anonymity and banning, you intend to modify the behavior of people to place them on topic? And who gets to decide what is on topic? Did we just invent the censor again? Damnit, burn it down and start over.

this is a Fallacy

deleted posts and banned users are public, in pubic folders

if the moderators are censoring in bad faith then people see this and the moderators get hammered for it

thats how it works on all the other non-anon subs here, and it works fine

18774874? ago

That’s not how it really works and every one knows it. You silence dissent with downvoting, it’s silent and unseen. People just disappear because their account is rendered useless.

18774980? ago

they tend to do that with people who post kiddy porn

18775006? ago

Still raping the strawman I see. The loop continues. You have zero ammo.

18773174? ago

You assume I’m ignorant to the games here. I watch them play out every day. It’s half the fun here. If I’m supposed to fear poal because more shills will try harder, let them come.

Snap the fuck out of it and pay attention.

You demonstrated your ignorance 2-fold with this stupid fucking move.

Stop putting your fucking ego before the interest of the community, it's clouding your discernment if you even have any.

Heed what I am saying, do your fucking homework and abort this atrocity of a "backup" and your smarmy attitude towards @PuttItOut.

18773232? ago

You’re desperate for a straw man, I’m not a mod. I’m a daily regular user who is humored by the flood of people who suddenly started using this sub acting like they are all here to save us from our selves.

18773262? ago

I’m not a mod.

See edit.

18773293? ago

The edit is what I replied to. Explaining you’d missed the mark on the assumption.

18773386? ago

Then realize that the crux was directed at the mods. It was a toss up whether the responses were from a mod or you(presumably the anon I initially replied to), not a strawman.

As for our differing conclusions, I confidently hazard the guess that you haven't spent the amount of time that I have looking into the sordid history of shitstorms that have occurred here on Voat. Maybe you've seen some of it, but you're not quite seeing everything.

We can agree to disagree, I'm fine with that, but it would be daft of the mods to continue down this current path without taking a step back to both evaluate themselves and look into the aforementioned history.

18773398? ago

I’ve been here every step of the way. I lurk and watch with popcorn in hand. I’ve seen it all. You assume too much.

18773440? ago

Well then let's see where this goes, I guess.

The admins have a choice to make. Maybe one day you and I can chat about our different takes after the dust settles.

Feel free to save this exchange and hit me up at a later date if you're ever keen for a one on one(in the non-combatitive sense).

18773449? ago

Definitely. Not this day. The rage is high in the sky and anonymity is the only dawn in which to rest.

But it was a good debate. Glad you could finally hear that I had weighed the spectrum and come to a conclusion of my own. I understand your conclusion because it was among my list of possible conclusions, it just didn’t win out.

18773455? ago

Yes, well, we both made assumptions about each other there - you know how the saying goes.

Ciao for now.

18773468? ago

Sneaky way of calling me an asshole before you bounce. Well played ikeman

18773201? ago

You’re so desperate to convince me to fear things that have never bothered me. I really don’t care what poal is or is not. If this mod is removed Puttitout then I will leave to go where the shills wage their wars. I can’t handle curated communities, they make me furious.

Puttitout tried strong arming the mod here with subtle threats. Mod here pushed back. Sorry it was against your famed Puttitout, but I don’t ascribe to the same idol worship you do. I judge by actions and the actions of this mod are the exact actions I would take in his place. The actions of Puttitout are exactly the kind of thing that pisses me off to no end.

Keep trying to use fear and seeds of mistrust to convince me though.

18773508? ago

this is a retards argument

all Putt said was take steps to shut down porn spamming

you want to misconstrue that as a crypto-method of killing freedom of expression here, I'd bet my house that you are one of the porn spammers. No one else would be retarded enough to infer that from Putt, who otherwise allows actual porn subs to run unimpeded here

18773248? ago

Jesus fucking Christ, it's like talking to a fucking brick wall...

This is not an ideological issue, this is a matter of opening your damn eyes to what is happening around here. Can the bullshit about "order vs chaos", "idol worship", etc.

Open your damn eyes, I am not threatening you or attempting to instill fear, I'm telling you to wake the fuck up to what's going on around here.

You can heed what I'm saying or you can continue to let your ego dictate your perception. Your choice.

Over and out.

18773285? ago

I can see what’s happening around here. And of course it’s like talking to a brick wall, I’ve already considered every point you’ve made and come to a different conclusion than you have with the same information. Bring me something new and we can talk. Until then I already argued it with my self to find my own answer.

18764467? ago

You can't offer a logical explanation to someone who is so clearly caught up in an emotional complex. But I appreciate your attempt all the same. You're right, best laid plans and all that. While it's true most of us will watch the "waters" so to speak, you guys aren't wrong to prepare in advance. The air feels suspiciously similar to how it did when Reddit went full Faggot.

18765902? ago

It went full faggot because of faggot mods.

18764507? ago

Feels the same but remember this is Voat. You can actually talk to the admin here and gain an audience for your plea. Had a good conversation with him yesterday to help him understand that in fact many of us strongly support the position that spam is welcome and not worth altering the community over since two alternatives satisfy that demographic on their own.
