Hi Friends - I'd like to run an idea past all of you (SoapboxBanhammer)

submitted ago by Caveman_in_a_suit

Can we please try to get along?

I am not asking anyone to forgive or forget. Just to put the damn hatchets down.

In my mind - and I am just one - we have a common calling to make fun of everyone. Including ourselves. Perhaps especially ourselves, most of all. With joy, laughs, and good times.

Sometimes, one of us goes too far. OK, we can make fun of them for doing so. That's why we're here, I think. It puts everything in check.

This isn't a war sub, there are plenty of those, and new ones crop up every day. The only "US vs THEM" really, for a humor place, is us against the humorless.

Sure, Srayzie posted here. Not much, and under different alts. Sure, she PM'd her boobs. And ran GA at the same time. She took stuff seriously, without a lot of humor - so she got made fun of. That's kind of what we do. Then, I think we all made the mistake of infecting SBBH with something that killed the humor. We took the fun out. Then doxing, joke threats, jokes about threats, my goodness it's all so weird. Can't we all just get along? Can we have fun together again, in spite of what's gone down? Can we get past all this?

So, my idea is this: please consider this request, keep SBBH a place focused on humor, and taking on the humorless. Especially those damn trolls, we've done such a good job of it in the past, and provided a valuable Voat service in doing so. The Amaleks and MH101's and She's and Libby's and SaneGoats... it's a long list of trolls we fought off, through the bright joy of humor.

Please help this be a place of joy again.

Please. Even if we are not all friends here, can we at least be friendly.

+++ part of me wants to laugh, at the thought that a pair of boobs might have kilt the mighty SBBH, after we've kilt so many damn trolls in the past. Good Gawd, you know, that would mean Srayzie was the mightiest troll of all. Is that really the tombstone we want to leave for future Internet archeologists to find someday?

ExpertShitposter ago

There is like...no war?

Only @gabara and @zyklon_b are talking some shit against each other, but besides that, i see no war. Unless i am deaf blind and dumb. I witch case i might be votka'd. Unless i am not.

gabara ago

I made this post: https://voat.co/v/SoapboxBanhammer/3301323

They got mad.

ExpertShitposter ago

saw it, figured it was just banter, as all of the squad there is the same squad from here.

gabara ago

And I figure the real srayzie left weeks ago and it's one of them that pretending to be her with those other accounts (probly triggly, thats her thing). And so they are all like the Q anons in that the original Q stop posting a long time ago and it's just one of them doing the Q drops.

ExpertShitposter ago

I do a Q drop every day man. Usually around 5 afternoon. And still i ban no family from the Q depository.

gabara ago

I need to get back to some good banning. Too many whiners

PuttsMum ago

Nicely put. I too would like to see the spirit of fun and friendship return to the sub.

You should add srayzie to that list. Also, what we did to srayzie was no different to what we did to all those others. The weird thing about this time was that people got permabanned, builders were made and we stumbled onto something toxic at voats core. I think some of us are still a bit pissed

Caveman_in_a_suit ago

It's ok to be pissed. And I agree.

I am just asking, can we suck it up & move on? We got other dragons to slay.

Srayzie played too many sides & roles, and ought pick one. GA & shitposting & sexting, all in the same discussion board? Hey, pick one? And do the other two somewhere's else, please.

"we stumbled onto something toxic at voats core" - good, poisons can't be dealt with until recognized and acknowledged

It was all about gathering control. She was an old fashioned power mod.

gabara ago

Seconded.
