From Private Internet Access:
Dear Goats,
The internet is not meant to be censored.
Private Internet Access has generously donated to Voat users, 20 x month-long free trials of their no-log VPN service. Voat is going to give these out to Goats in the first official Voat & PIA VPN Giveaway. This is the perfect tool to Unblock the Web and say "FUCK CENSORSHIP".
How to enter:
Submit a picture of your middle finger raised and a verification sheet of paper that says "FUCK CENSORSHIP".
Here is an example:
https://i.imgtc.ws/SE1gMbj.jpg
Winners must agree to post a follow up about their experience using PIA.
From Putts:
Isn’t it funny, that in a time when most websites try to prevent VPN access, Voat is promoting it? This is because tools like PIA help you to protect yourself, and it’s best to “always use protection®.”
I’ve been using PIA personally since they reached out to us during the New Zealand ISP blocking and I have been very impressed. We both thought that you Goats would like a little something so we're spreading a bit of love around.
Since this is Voat, I want to mention a few disclaimers:
-
Keep the picture doxx free (obviously!)
-
We reserve the right to deny your entry for any reason (expecting shitposts)
-
First come, first serve
How it will work:
If your comment (post it as a reply to this submission) is approved, we will PM you the free month trial code along with some simple instructions on how to get started. Have fun!
Edit:
Ok, we wrapped this up (mostly). Thank you to all who participated. I think you'll like the experience and I hope you enjoy using protection. ;)
Do me a favor Voat… One person got finger-shy and deleted their submission. I have saved one code for this person. PM me you shy goat you and I'll send you the code! It's waiting for you. :)

You've got to be kidding me.
the palm/back of the hand are uniquely identifiable signatures.
You're actually asking Voat's hypersecurity focused userbase to dox themeselves for all artificial intelligence bots/intelligence agencies to see?
We already have facial based image recognition, gait based unique identifiers, and even unique typing/clicking signatures that Google uses to verify captchas
@think- @vindicator @shewhomustbeobeyed @argosciv we need an alternative platform asap

You're insane. Welcome!

LOL, it's funny because it's true. Left hand, glove, burner phone. Only Voat.

Speaking of true, is there any truth to this users claim:

P.S. I'm srsly entering the contest. I have a bunch of domains I ought to register before 2020

At this point why would anyone believe Q people? Especially mods. If clown world is a thing, they are living it as well.
srayzie ago
Are you talking about QRV mods? Or all Q people, especially mods?
argosciv ago
@PuttItOut, look who is making the claims...
9-11 is not a "Q person", he/she is a v/realProtectVoat turd. This should tell anyone reading this, plenty about the reason for such asinine claims.
Consider then, why NOMOCHOMO would try to stir the pot using 9-11's bullshit, given also NOMO's initial response in this submission which o course rings true to the same "VOAT COMPROMISED!" narrative that v/realProtectVoat goons push.
@Crensch @kevdude @Vindicator
NOMOCHOMO ago
@crensch @kevdude @Vindicator
(((foregone conclusion + implication + association)))
if you look at my comment history, I first asked @9-11 to substantiate their claims.
When they didn't, and Putt replies to me, I'm not going to waste the opportunity to ask him directly.
@shewhomustbeobeyed
Vindicator ago
Ok Nomo. Just a piece of advice: the way you are doing this looks shillish. You get in Putt's face, quoting a narrative pushed by one of the most malicious Voat attackers, in a similar rude, confrontational way, only one Title Herehour after asking 9-11 to substantiate his claims. It's not like you waited long or even investigated it at all for yourself before launching your own
Furthermore, it's a follow-on to your statement that:
Another huge shill talking point.
So yeah. @Argosciv, @Crensch, me -- and anyone else who seriously cares about who is trying to undermine Voat and how -- is going to take note.
I'm also noting that you replied to Putt's good natured "You're insane" with the claim he was Jewing you with an ad hominem attack.
Hard to tell if you were joking there, since here you clearly use the same approach to seriously imply Argo is out of line and merely running Jew smear tactics against you.
You also comment as if Argo somehow should have known you were not aligned with 9-11, despite the fact that you only made the comment to 9-11 an hour before, deep in a completely different thread on a completely different board. That is disingenuous.
@shewhomustbeobeyed
NOMOCHOMO ago
This bullshit again? I AM ASKING QUESTIONS. Why are you discouraging that?
You mean my comment on his post in which he's asking for ADDITIONAL DATA from Voaters? The one where I tagged you? Boy I'm sure invading Putt's personal space. I'm a big meanie.
What "narrative" am I quoting? I gave my own opinion, then I directly quoted somebody else's recent accusations and asked Putt if there was any truth to it.
How long have you been on the internet? ....And how long have you been on Voat? I was confrontational. How was I "rude", and why does that matter?
I spent that one hour independently trying to verify those claims you presumptive douche. SearchVoat, Putts history, and other tools didn't turn anything up.
Some of us don't like "waiting" or "trusting the plan". 9-11 didn't respond, to me, but Putt did (albeit in a different thread). Of course I'm going to ask the other party involved in the accusation. That's a fundamental part of an INVESTIGATION.
Considering the accusation was Voat is pozzed, and an hour later Putt begins a VPN giveaway, I don't think it's an irrelevant concern. The TIMING was the REASON I asked the question.
Setting up alternative platforms asap isn't a "shill talking point". It's basic security and common sense. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Nobody has explained why we should trust PIA's parent company. Voat can be undermined on a corporate and administrative level as well.
He was Jewing me with an Ad Hominem attack you silly boomer :)
Argos dedicated a subverse to me called v/lampshadematerial in which he cross references the timestamps of my posts to other users to try to accuse me of using alternative accounts.

This is your comment from 5 months ago from one of those threads. You know that Argos closely follows my comment history trying to "catch me"
I am not being disingenuous, you are being dishonest @vindicator
Vindicator ago
The most recent post in v/lampshadematerial is 5 months old. Argo went back to school several months ago, Nomo. He also lives in Australia. Your assumption that he is following you around hanging on your every comment and likely saw your question to 9-11 at 6 or 7am his time is a strains credulity. It's a foolish basis from which to start making claims I'm being dishonest, and is adding to the shilly vibe I'm getting from this conversation.
But thanks for linking to it. I stand by comment. Five months ago, as now, I made a straightforward attempt at discerning your intent here on Voat, since your behavior was atypical. You called me a liar then (and @shewhomustbeobeyed noted it), just as you are doing today, when I made a good faith effort to explain how some might perceive your comments in a negative light. Then, as today, you have a cavalier attitude about associating with those who are here to destroy.
Oh really? You haven't paid much attention to what goes on around here, have you? This is literally the primary message of all those who have tried to disrupt v/pizzagate, v/QRV, and v/GreatAwakening since the birth of each of these subverses. Divide and conquer. That doesn't even address the fact that the whole reason Q created QRV is to keep people together and he has not endorsed Paol.
More deception, eh, Nomo? This is complete BS. You didn't investigate shit. If you had spent five minutes "investigating" the source of the claim, you would have immediately seen the intent. @9-11's Comment History clearly shows he spends copious time attacking and attempting to discredit and demoralize Atko, Putt, Cynabuns, Peaceseeker, Empress, Pizzagate and others who try to build this place up and keep it running. He's constantly bitching about Voat being compromised. He claims to be a "conservative Christian" and yet shows up to shitstir and whine about "censorship" because Putt made NSFW content invisible on Voat's landing page unless a user is logged in.
Hell, a two-second mouse-hover over his username would have revealed over 35,000 downvotes to his lovely commentary. Voat thinks the guy is cancer.
That's the guy whose claims you demanded Putt answer you about.
I'm also having a hard time believing you "investigated" "Putt's history" as you claim, because when you look at his Submission History, the post 7th from the top is all about this topic. This is a highly transparent announcement Putt made preemptively in the aftermath of the Christchurch shootings, despite knowing destroyers like 9-11 and the rest of the realProtectVoat crew would gobble it up like slavering hyenas. He then stuck around and answered questions. You can easily review his entire comment history for the period in question here.
An excellent investigator like you should have been able to find this in ten minutes, let alone an hour. You are officially back on my suspicious list.
NOMOCHOMO ago
This is the post: Suspicious behavior from u/NOMOCHOMO, u/carmencita & MANY others...
The post is about me, and ends: "to be continued"
Irrelevant.
I'm not ASSUMING. His post CONSISTS of him hanging on my comments...down to the second...here's an excerpt
Yet I am straining credulity when I assume Argos is still behaving like an obsessive stalker...after he promises to continue stalking me?
LOL. I never called you a liar then....Why can't you link my words? So now...you're lying about me calling you a liar. …Spectacular
No shit sherlock. But as I've repeatedly said: Broken Clocksx2. Idgaf about the poster, or their intent. I only care about the truth-claim (s). Especially on an anonymous forum where people sell their accounts. Disinfo works best when there is an element of truth. I checked 9-11's history, and saw what he is, but that doesn't prove the claim is wrong.
Putt: "Formally Contacted about Content" =/= 9-11's "In light of his recent revelation that the Department of Homeland Security has served him with warrants"
I searched Putts submission/comment history. Neither "DHS" nor "warrant" have ever been mentioned. All of a sudden I'm in a related conversation re: internet security with Putt, so I ASK...not "demand" (For a supposed "journalist" that's shit writing. Be objective when recounting events)
TLDR: I wanted Putt to tell me that 9-11 was full of shit . Putt doesn't directly, and instead burns Q/Q Mods/Q Followers. I repost it because I'm surprised/impressed that Putt finally called out Q-Anon Crew. Enter Srayzie, who moderates a Q sub, and holds enough sway to make Putt's life difficult. Putt backpedals on Q crew living in clown world and being overly trusting.
Finally boyos: If Putt thinks I'm a shill, why would he have wasted one of his 20 free VPN passes on your good ol' pal? Especially since he said he would exclude shitposters and look at user history.
I guess Putt thinks I'm legit ¯_(ツ)_/¯
