Welcome, rEddit refugees! Voat is a little different than what you're used to, so here's a post to help you assimilate with as little pain as possible. (introductions)

submitted ago by Crensch

It WILL hurt. But I'll try to make it as easy on you as possible.

You just came from a place that the people here consider to be cancerous in the same way rEddit considered 9gag or SRS cancerous. The content you were provided with was heavily censored and curated to not only look better to advertisers, but to push a narrative harmful to most of the users of the site.

If you came with a banned/spezzed subverse, you're about to become one of the more left-wing subverses on this site. If you came alone, you're probably going to be one of the more left-wing users on the site. Don't worry, the uncurated data you get here will help you overcome that crippling handicap!

Posting an "UPVOTE ME" thread is one of the worst faux pas you can make here. It's really simple to make 100ccp with decent comments, so do us all a favor and attain that organically. It's a small price to pay to keep from having an oldfag/newfag split of the users.

           Censorship

Torches and pitchforks are all that await mods that attempt to censor with few exceptions. 

            archive.is

Archive EVERYTHING. You just found something? Archive it. Found it from a shit source that we don't want to give clicks to? Use that archive instead of the regular link.

Archives are perfectly acceptable for submissions.

            Imgoat - imgtc - imgjar - kek.gg

The recommended image-hosting sites. Much like the website you came from, your previous image hosting site also ~cough~ curates content, or otherwise removes "offensive" pictures. Posting from Imgur may get you automatic downvotes. 

             FPH/Niggers

Their rhetoric is NOT kept to their subs. You WILL see this outside of their subs. They have the right to post fat hate and racist stuff just as you have the right to post HAES, multicultural, and pro-islam stuff. You can fight this if you like, but I'd recommend against it.

             Shill hunting

Shills are not considered innocent until proven guilty, and for good reason. This is the internet, where you're mostly anonymous, and can create all the usernames you like. You must prove yourself to not be completely full of shit by not posting shitty ideas and arguments. If you DO post shit, you're likely to get caught.

It is recommended that you watch and learn for a while, post non-inflammatory things, and honestly, no pro-Hillary stuff until after the election ever. Your username age will get you caught in a trap, even if you're not really a proper target.

            CCP/SCP

Comment Contribution Points are what you used to call Karma. It determines how many downvoats you can give, and how many posts/comments you can make in X time.

Submission Contribution Points, also known as SCP = Link Karma.

            Moderator Deletions

Only spam is removed in system-owned subs, nothing else. Add "/modlog/submission" or "modlog/comment" to the end of a subverse address to see mod deletions; all of them. Mods cannot hide their misdeeds here.

Most other subs follow suit, with niggers/fph being notable differences.

           Politics (Our tendencies and ideas, on average)
  • Reddit is cancer. Curated by mods and admins, heavily censored.
  • Muslims "migrants" or "refugees" are an invading force. They are terrorists. The ones that aren't are enablers, helpers, and the "I didn't see anything" crowd.
  • Hillary is insanely guilty - of almost everything she's accused of. Being a reptile is still up for debate. (last part was a bit of a joke... a bit)
  • There is almost nothing Trump can do to be worse than Hillary.
  • We all know that Trump isn't ideal on all things, or being nice. We all know he's not the end-all for our government woes. Speaking about it, or writing about how we don't hold him accountable for MSM narratives behind his actions will get you caught in the aforementioned shill trap.
  • We hate political correctness, SJWs, and cucks.
  • MSM, the government, the Rothschilds, and George Soros are all attempting to steal the country from Trump and the citizens.
  • Wikileaks and Project Veritas are the real news, along with precious few others. These are the politics/news/worldnews bibles - gifts that keep on giving. Assange is likely dead, and wikileaks may or may not be compromised. Use your best judgment with all news outlets.

You will likely come across opinions you never thought real people actually had. Ideas you thought were so outlandish that only a silly cult of people in a nutjob-compound in the middle of nowhere could possibly hold them. It is highly recommended for you to ask them about it, instead of arguing right off - where you came from is heavily censored, so much information was not available to you that is available to users on this site.

          Political Correctness

We have no obligation or reason to be overly nice. We do not censor ourselves unless we choose to, or do not have the CCP to take the hit.

          Downvoats

Once you reach 100ccp, it will be up to you to use your downvoats to hit spam, or shills, or whatever you want to hit with them. 

          ProtectVoat

/v/protectvoat is a place to post suspicious or fishy things, to call out moderator abuse of deletions or otherwise, and generally to discuss things that will help keep the community and site lively and healthy. As such, the place is constantly under attack by people from the other website who are not happy that they, their power mod buddies, and/or someone with a censor-happy ideology, are unable to attain or keep positions of power to unilaterally censor your content.

PV, as it's known, has helped facilitate the downfall of cancerous mods and people creating upvote/downvote brigades. PV is the wikileaks of this website.

Please post in /v/protectvoat and ping @Crensch if you have any questions, or would like to add something to any of the above.

TockTeal ago

I would also like to suggest for everyone's consideration that we all use Infogalactic instead of Wikipedia. If you're not familiar with Infogalactic or what is wrong with Wikipedia I would recommend you check out Vox Day

SurfinMindWaves ago

I need some very basic instruction on how to post images, links etc. I have searched through the website and it doesn't go quite as basic as I need. Is there a place to ask those types of questions where some patient saint could walk me through it?

Crensch ago

Also alternatively, since I need to go, you can make a post on /v/whatever or /v/askvoat to find more help.

Crensch ago

Sure. So https://imgoat.com/ opens up to a page where you can click and drag images to the page from your local folder (or hard drive).

There is also a tab above the big blue box where you can link to an image from another site or image host.

Once you've uploaded the image, click on that image in the webpage a few times until the image is all you see on the screen. Then you can copy the address, and link here like so.

The full link above is: https://imgoat.com/uploads/81e728d9d4/1748.png

The way to turn it into text is to use regular brackets around text [ and ] then put the link RIGHT after that end bracket in parentheses (https://imgoat.com/uploads/81e728d9d4/1748.png))

Alternatively you can see it exactly by clicking "source" under my comment.

Hello, can I have some upvoats so I can get the right to downvoat.

How do I upvoat.

I'm glad you guys accept refugees unlike that Nazi Trump! I feared I'd have no place to go when r/altright got banned.

Your politics statement makes me happy. Could use a bit of work but we will get there :)

Proud-Anglo14 ago

Long time Reddit lurker, short time troll. Here after the great white purge. Let's get this show on the road, faggots. Oh and thanks for the tippy-wippys. Hail free speech.

VoatOverlord ago

Came here as an AltRight refugee... Gibsmedat please?

TheUltimateQuakerII ago

Thanks for tips! I finally decided to come over here since i'm done with all the bullshit, censorship, and PC narrative thats being shoved on reddit (feels are more important than reals to them). The censorship esspecially was the last straw. Been on the Trump train since he announced his run back in mid 2015. Now lets MAGA!

GaryTheCoconut ago

Coming from reddit yesterday. Voat is quite the breath of fresh air. This post is very helpful.

Crensch ago

Welcome, you fat fucking nigger cuck! (voat password at the bottom if you missed the reference)

pumpkeen ago

Just came over from Reddit last week.

Crensch ago

Welcome to Voat, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Dome_Checked ago

So, I often felt that the reddit hive mind manipulated how upvoats or downvoats work. To my understanding you upvoat to agree and get exposure for a same way of thinking; or is it more of a like button?

Crensch ago

Yes.

Crensch ago

A website somewhat like this one that is run by SJW mods and admins, some of whom are likely bought and paid for by CTR and other leftist propaganda outlets to censor and curate the information to support the globalist, multicultural, PC narrative.

aaallaboard ago

I have been lurking for so long on this place, finally decided to get more involved after falling inexorably in love with Trump and finally recognising him as The Saviour of Western Civilization.

To the guys who built voat and all the based voaters, you are playing a small part in history and I hope you will be recognised as such.

Good things, much love, merry christmas and a happy new year.

Tank_You ago

Hoping to find some mention of the opportunities Brexit presents on here, or at least how it's taking us off a sinking ship. The absence of anything remotely pro-Brexit on Reddit brought me here. Also I'm a British Trump supporter.

Crensch ago

Hoping to find some mention of the opportunities Brexit presents on here, or at least how it's taking us off a sinking ship.

I think a lot of those kinds of posts existed during and just after the election. When the swamp starts getting drained, those kinds of posts will pop up again, I'm sure.

The absence of anything remotely pro-Brexit on Reddit brought me here. Also I'm a British Trump supporter.

PRAISE KEK!

Same here, i came from reddit before that a bunch of other shit, i thought i was in the right place with reddit then a while back the censorship started, and when pizza gate hit the news every goat jumped the fence.

Everyone is a nigger faggot. You are especially a nigger faggot.

Lol. I already like this place.

WhiteJapan ago

A friend showed me voat.co bout 3 days ago, haven't felt the need to go to reddit since. Thanks for having me Voat! :D

CROM_God_of_Shitkind ago

Was inside FPH and CT when the same shit happened there. Everyone knew the rules and didn't do it but no, ban ban anyway because some outsiders did. Instead reddigg will just slowly poison TD.

CROM_God_of_Shitkind ago

Okay so when you posted this it was widely known wikileaks is compromised. Old WL = good news and info. New WL = cuckshit you can't trust. The hashes do not match.

e-traiu ago

Love voat :)

Crensch ago

Welcome, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Christophalese ago

I upvoted everyone in this thread. I want to contribute here as I did on reddit before it went to shite. Anyone care to share the love?

Crensch ago

That's the spirit! Now grab your goat horns and hop in the fucking trenches with us! There's speech to be freed!

Crensch ago

Welcome to Voat, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

oldchangling ago

Free at last! Thanks for existing, voat. Between you, gab.ai, and Hillary losing, I'm almost not in despair.

Crensch ago

You are all of those... in my heart. (Voat Password if you missed it)

Welcome to Voat, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Ozfer ago

There is so much fake stuff on the internet from Reddit, to youtube, state paid trolls, and MSM I am done with it all. Hello VOAT!

Crensch ago

Welcome, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

eMalum ago

NOT be shunned, shammed, degraded, or booted in the badonky donk!

From the lips of the most powerful being in existence, the transcended one; ancient seer of knowledge, wisdom, strength and philosophy; everybody's favorite muppet: "You will be. You will be."

On the plus side, if everyone's a dick is anyone really a dick?

A-1 ago

I suppose that depends on whether or not we are all dicks equally. When a room full of dicks are rubbing together, and a mega dick comes in (always a White Shitlord, don't believe the hype about nigger dick. Showers, not growers.) then among the normal dicks, THAT would be THE dick in the room.

Yellowjacket ago

Thank you. Definitely is a transition. Seems like you have set it out to be as smooth as possible.

bagelbitchsnap ago

I just wish i could upvoat :/

Helios-Apollo ago

Reddit refugee here. Just as an observation, Voat seems a lot like /pol/ in that pretty much everything goes, except for outright illegal shit. I like that.

Treefart ago

Thank you for creating a censorship free place, I just broke with the dirty habit of eddit

Crensch ago

Welcome to Voat, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Treefart ago

I feel at home already :)

Crensch ago

Welcome home, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Aww you guys make me feel so welcome.

You should feel welcome, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

<3 you too you stingy fucking jew.

The_Realest ago

Refugee from deddit here.

That password image is great. I have only barely skimmed the verses here in the past, but this post has made me love Voat already.

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for me.

Crensch ago

We have everything that was kept from you at the other place, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

donalds_stones ago

Glad this site has a general sense of how the 1st Amendment works. Eddit is dead to me. Expect a huge influx in the coming weeks. I'm ready to MAGA un censored.

Dragofireheart ago

Also came from reddit. I actually made this account due to GameGate.

I'll be here on a regular basis now.

BLACK_BEARS_MATTER ago

Just came over from Reddit. I'm done with the incessant censorship and /u/spez's hypocrisy. From now on, I will be known as a Voater rather than an Edditor

KEEP YOUR HATE SPEECH OFF THIS CAMPUS

Crensch ago

The holocaust was a lie, fat people need to stop eating, niggers aren't human, all Middle-East refugees are an invasion force of subhumans, only two genders exist, women already had equal rights long ago, feminism isn't about equality, women shouldn't even have the right to vote, neither should niggers.

/v/areyouoffendedyet

samhara ago

Next I will read Welcome. I came here to discuss #pizzagate since the State Media not only uses reversals to try to castrate the story, but also has long-arm tentacles which make it intolerable / unaccepted to speak about, in any reasonable manner, in any other public Forums! Or even among local friends. I've been on BBS and Internets exchanges since before '94. I can learn new, though I am old. I'm used to censorship and had to post my research on 9/11 to a "Sychronicity" board since I was banned from all mainstream 9/11 sites & smeared. Thank the owners for their important work with this, and for everyone else who works hard at News, when the general sources which people wrongly trust, are polluted.

Crensch ago

Welcome to Voat! Check out /v/conspiracy. Most Voaters don't think of conspiracies as being tin foil hat territory.

iDerp69 ago

Voat is so punishing to lurkers like me. I keep reading things that I want to help get triple digit upvoat counts. So much quality here.

Crensch ago

Grow them horns, goat!

Bakersmon ago

Just came from reddit yesterday. I'm excited to be here! Yay freedom!

Crensch ago

Welcome to Voat, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Never been especially nigger faggot before, but feels good! I smell a bit of freedom in there!

Holy crap this is a really nice intro to voat. As a rEFFUGEE thank you!

Crensch ago

Welcome to Voat, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

trite ago

Wow, this was actually extremely helpful. After reading this whole thing, I can barely believe how I could stand reddit.

Crensch ago

Welcome aboard, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

Crensch ago

Yes, I know. Those ideas are not useful at the moment there. It's a subverse about investigation, not connecting entire religions to it. The idea is to only investigate the hard evidence and seeing where it leads.

Thanks to things like this existing, and the upvoat bots for obvious garbage to the front page, and the massive COINTEL presence, the mods have a choice to either "let the votesbots decide, or remove the subversive or off-topic posts.

https://voat.co/v/ProtectVoat/1438543/6941681

I appreciate you bringing this up, it's important to stay vigilant.

eBev ago

BUDDY!!! Have another upgoat! :D

meh- ago

Thank you for this post. I hope my transition from reddit will be a relatively painless one. Now I just have to resist the urge to start typing reddit into my address bar of my browser in the future.

Crensch ago

You're welcome. I hope it's painless as well.

It gets easier as you go through the motions and find yourself in a cucked, censored, force-fed page of LIES, and get disgusted with it.

The idea that you could almost pick out the trolls/shills here by seeing what posts on rEddit agree with them is also a good habit-breaking thought.

meh- ago

Thank you.

I know what you mean it just seems as though that site has been going downhill for such a long time and to use an analogy it almost feels like one is like a frog in a boiling pot of water, you don't realise what is going on until you're literally surrounded by the censored cuck ctr posts on the defaults at least. Even some of the fringe subs I was on it's starting to get that way too.

Now the true test will be on Monday morning when I wake up and get ready for work and resist the muscle memory urge to head there and instead go here for my fix.

Crensch ago

Good luck to you, and once again, welcome!

Crensch ago

Here's your goat horns, now stab them into your skull, and get to goating!

eBev ago

Thank you for the tips. I'm old, but I'm sure I'll understand them better as time goes on. I'm an America-loving, USArmy veteran, censorship-hating, Hillary-hating, Ex-Republican, true-conservative educator, so I think you are the right place for me to be. I hope you feel the same! QUESTION: Is it possible to donate through PayPal?

Crensch ago

I believe there were issues with PayPal previously, and either way, PayPal is a PC racket that'll take the money from people they don't agree with.

Sounds like the right place for you though. Welcome, you fat fucking nigger cuck!

eBev ago

LOL!!! True dat about PayPal being PC. Wish they had reliable competition.

How'd you know I'm fat??? You got cameras??? ;):P

But you are alone! Alone with a lot of other fat fucking nigger cucks. Welcome!

Hop in the trenches, goat-recruit! Time to fight the good fight!

oedipusaurus_rex ago

The voat password comic describes this place perfectly.

Crensch ago

Almost too perfectly ~conspiracy music~

doginventer ago

Regarding extreme content/opinions I found it much easier to be comfortable around here when somebody (sorry but I can't even remember who it was) pointed out that the presence of such content is possibly a good warrant canary. Also surprising what you can end up learning even if you don't end up agreeing

trotfox ago

That is the same reason I am here. I am willing to bet a lot of people are jumping ship because of it. Definitely going to keep an eye on the_donald.

trotfox ago

I have lightly mentioned it to people I know. They definitely look at me weird. I think everyone is going to be vindicated soon enough, though.

SavedGameStudios ago

This is very helpful... thanks.

Also, if I'm a nigger faggot what does that make you? oh wait... it says right there...

Fuck you Voat, thanks for letting me say whatever I want, however I want!

I don't agree with half of you, and I probably don't agree with the other half either. So fuck all you faggots.

Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck. I'm enjoying myself a little too much.

Kwijibo ago

Hi new Voater and Reddit refugee. (Also Digg refugee from a few years ago). I think I will like Voat as much as Reddit and maybe more with all the shit that is going on over there.

IrbyTremorRimsMe ago

+1 for this post, thanks OP

Crensch ago

Sounds like a good plan of action. Welcome!

AmaleksHairyAss ago

downvoats are used as disagree buttons.

Please do not condone this practice. It's soft censorship.

Crensch ago

I'm not condoning anything, I'm telling the users how things are, not how I want them to be.

AmaleksHairyAss ago

It sounds a lot like condoning. You could say that the downvoting thing is not widely condoned.

Crensch ago

Is that better?

AmaleksHairyAss ago

You rock.

Crensch ago

Thanks. Seriously though, if you think more should be done, let me know - I'm not the type to dig in my heels with constructive criticism.

Crensch ago

Thank you!

Ina_Pickle ago

Two things.

First: Only assholes downvoat to show disagreement. Downvoats are better used to call out shills and morons who are posting shit unrelated to the conversation.

Second: ProtectVoat is full of self-righteous douchebags who do their own share of brigading when someone disagrees with them. Only approach that circle-jerk if you have no other choice. Serious issues with the website can be taken directly to the site owners Atko and Puttitout... who may or may not have time to respond to you. But honestly, even a post to v/whatever will net you better results than approaching the clique over in PV.

Crensch ago

First: Only assholes downvoat to show disagreement. Downvoats are better used to call out shills and morons who are posting shit unrelated to the conversation.

That may be so, but I'm not giving information that I want to be true, just what is true.

Second: ProtectVoat is full of self-righteous douchebags who do their own share of brigading when someone disagrees with them. Only approach that circle-jerk if you have no other choice.

If you're not a mod that did something stupid, or you're not organizing a voating brigade, you've got nothing to worry about.

Serious issues with the website can be taken directly to the site owners Atko and Puttitout... who may or may not have time to respond to you.

Or you can to got PV where a large number of users that will speak up can see the issue, and if they find it worthwhile, make enough noise to bring the problem closer to the top of the to-do list for the owners.

But honestly, even a post to v/whatever will net you better results than approaching the clique over in PV.

Regular users love PV. I'm sorry if you or one of your buddies was targeted for being a cancerous mod before, but cancermods and their friends are the only ones that ever have a problem with PV.

Ina_Pickle ago

Never been a mod. I find people who try to control the site distasteful. Just calling them like I see them. PV is part of the problem. A band aid, but not a solution.

Crensch ago

PV is what we had to fight @she and other mods. PV is what we had to highlight the misdeeds to people that will take action and bring it all to light.

PV doesn't control anything but a subverse dedicated to highlighting mod, IRC, and brigading fuckery.

THANK YOU Voat!

buddha3211 ago

What a fantastic guide, the best part was learning about the lack of stupid fucks crying about anything that a normal person should be able to say. I just signed up as a Reddit refugee that's sick of all the censorship and faggotry....such as gobbling globalist cock.

I already feel like I've found my home...

Crensch ago

Probably closer to 8chan, since halfchan has been banning for pizzagate stuff too.

Happy to have you with us. I'm not sure what prompted this exodus; would you mind filling me in?

Crensch ago

Sorry, My last comment might have come off as rude or something, I don't know/remember if reddit has/had that functionality to be honest.

I don't know of a way to answer "best subverse" otherwise. My apologies if the answer was off-putting.

Crensch ago

Yep. In the upper left hand corner of your screen when scrolled all the way up is the word "all".

Click on that, and use the "block subverse" button for subverses you have no interest in.

Another refugee here! Thanks for the info!

Happy to have you with us. Enjoy the uncensored, non-curated content!

Yep, there's a lag time there. Some of it's from Reddit, some of it's from some code they've been actively working to find and fix.

I'm new here and still limited to 10 upvotes per 24 hours. I have hopes that will change.

Thank you.

Thanks for the information

Just a quick note. I disagree wholeheartedly with so many damn things.

Crensch ago

Such as?

You didn't generalize my politics very well. But we agree on one thing.. freedom of expression.

Crensch ago

I generalized Voat's politics, on average. Outliers exist, and they're the exception.

Thank you. I'll edit my submission accordingly.

Thanks for making this a sticky right at the top of this sub. I just signed up last night after seeing all the shit that's happening over there. I moved to rEddit from Digg way back when that whole fiasco went down, and I'm just relieved to find you guys keeping the torch lit while rEddit goes down like the Titanic. Honestly I'm pretty jaded at this point, and hoping to find a bastion of freedom of speech. Free speech is such a powerful weapon against tyranny that it's not surprising to see sites that have it being taken over by the powers that be, censored, and made into a platform. I know you folks here realized what was going on long long before I did, but I'm just thankful that this site is here, and that I found a link to it over there. Hopefully this site is what I think it may be. The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if it's not, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

Glad you found the post useful. @amyacker is the one to thank for the sticky, I just wrote it.

As with any place, this one has its faults, but we fight to protect it constantly. Hope to see you in the trenches with us.

I wouldn't mind you throwing this in there: https://i.sli.mg/aEeCaZ.png

Shameless self advertising

@AmyAcker - sticky??

AmyAcker ago

My bad, your ping and OP's PM got dumped under tons of others :/

I'll sticky it for a while.

Thank you for the tips. New here and trying to find real threads before they get infiltrated. Trump supporter since day 1 (in the primaries). More information is the key so I hope to see the real deal here.
