I heard a lot of people got those.
I upvoat what I like... which typically means just going down the list and clicking 95% of the stuff in the shitposting subs. (I like the shitposting subs, and pretty much everything there, so I upvoat it) If that's manipulation, then fuck me. But I guess it's not, because I didn't get one of those things.
Did you really get one? Are you using more than one account?
I forget to a lot. I upvote in appreciation for folks making me chuckle. With my voat friends I upvote almost as a courtesy, or as a way of acknowledging I've read something directed at me. I was never explained the voting process. I still have only the vaugest idea of what the points mean.
I never said anything; how you roll is how you roll.
For a lot of us I think upvoating each others comments gives the other some kind of brief neurochemical surge. Like little drops of drugs. But, in essence, they do a lot to replace the body language aspect of social interaction. We get little brain boosts when someone's body language signifies they like how we interact with them... Gotta have those upgoats to replace this, especially since everyone here thinks they're too grown up to use old-school emotes. FUCK IT. We'll do it LIVE!!! I'm using emotes now!!!! XD 8)
Fuckin amateurs! We'll do it live! That was an amazing piece of history. I think our ancestors will look back and say "those guys were dicks".that's interesting about being another for of communication. It definitely is communicating approval or dissapproval. And I'm certain your right about the neurochemical rush. Facebook and Game developers have come out and admitted they intentionally try to maximize dopamine rush. It's called social media addiction and it's a thing.
Did you read all of tonight's posts about GA drama, etc? I'm starting to think that the unmasking of the GA mods was the declas Q has been preparing everyone for. Feels like IT finally Happened.
I have NO idea what's going on with all of that. I checked out of the Q thing when nothing seemed to be happening. But now Im starting to see good things happen. If only that people are understanding how terrible our leaders are. I'm pretty blackpilled on the world today, but I'm starting to get hope.
I'd like to introduce the idea of hope as a useless concept. The deep and overwhelming desire for things outside of your control... good way to get a heart attack. I'm into all of this out of purely sick fascination. There are plenty of people that exist on a level where they both can and want to influence the world at large. I find plenty of engagement tending to my own affairs and stating out of other people's business.... unless there's entertainment value. Does that sound nihilistic?
It's probably because an account I made called @poorlydrawnhorses. I made it after I found out just about everyone has alts and I wanted to see what the big deal was and for a couple of disguised shitposts but I didn't have any kind of goal. I did upvoat it so I could post with it but I think I made less than ten posts with it after I read about someone else doing it. I didn't think it was wrong. I didn't post anything shitty with it, and I've since forgotten the password. But if I'm guilty, I'm guilty I suppose. But I think everyone who knows me knows I bear no real ill will.
Technically guilty, that's probably what the notice is regarding. But rules are intended to resolve situations. You never created a situation. I think about making alts all the time, but never get around to it. Even though people said @poorlydrawnhorses was you, I didn't actually believe it. It's a good alt. Hope this blows over and you remember the password.
Ha, I did not consider that you were poorly drawn horses. I made some alts (it’s been awhile) but any votes given were only ever for testing purposes, and maybe not even on the main site. I don’t rightly remember.
If you were upvoting yourself, you had to specifically go out of your way to do it. Unless something has changed, you’d have to do it from a different IP address.
Did you downvote Puttsy’s thread tonight?
Anyway: Let me see if I can fire up a fun alt, then hopefully remember not to UV it while browsing the ‘verse.

Are you referring to this post?

First, you slowly voat upward
Then, slightly faster yet still slowly, voat downward
Begin voating upward and downward, upward and downward, until you reach a cresendo

Wait, what? Please explain. I have heard of these mysterious warning messages in the past, but always thought they were trolls just trolling.

I don't see the point of having an alt. Drstrangegov is who I am.
