If Trump doesn’t make an example out of this prissy faggot then it will embolden the rest.

Tallest_Skil ago

Trump will do nothing.

Time has changed things around here, I member 6 months ago you'd have been downvoted to shit for stating the obvious like you just did.

Tallest_Skil ago

Yeah, I… noticed higher upvotes on my posts. Found it strange. I hope it’s not a bunch of socks trying to make it look like I’m socking my own posts.

Let me be the optimist then, die hard Trumptards on here are finally starting to wake up... well except for those Qtards but life is such that a great percentage of people are just bandwagon sheep with play doe brains.

Know what it is? It’s not that. It’s that for 3 months we haven’t had open registrations, so Trump-lovers and leftists (but I repeat myself) can’t sockpuppet and mass downvote the regulars here. They can’t create infinite accounts and mass upvote each other. Those who have accounts here have either run out of thumbsy uppies or they’ve gotten bored and gone back to reddit, et. al.

Interesting how the accounts which are NEWER than 3 months old are mum about how they managed to create them, isn’t it.

Did you come across this post ?

OP explains an interesting hypothesis about 2 shill farms competing on Voat while scapegoating shitposters.

I don't usually go logging in to random accounts. But, literally, everyone's passwords are available. Your information is available; up to January 2019 for most stuff.

Sounds like he needs to be investigated for violations of US law, rather than listened to.

I think OP might be a bit of the special minded sort but I always prefer to look at the content instead of the container.

Tallest_Skil ago

I’m rather concerned about random dipshits being able to log into anyone’s account. Also concerned with the apparent publication of account information. Some proof of that would be nice, but it’s not just some throwaway comment that can be ignored.

As for the overall premise, obviously there are entire subsets of government entities here. It’s literally the last website where truth is allowed to be posted. 8chan was taken over years ago, and now Voat has an ✡angel investor✡. Obviously they spam their lies constantly. Obviously the most popular board on this entire website is a government operation. Another upshot to not having open registration in the last 3 months is that you only see one Q-LARP thread per day in the “top 24 hour” sidebar now. That’s proof that they’re sockpuppeting, but no one is going to do a goddamn thing about it. And that brings me back to the overall premise: *no one is going to do a goddamn thing about it. Putt won’t ban government IPs. He won’t ban obvious shill farms. He won’t even ban individual proven sockpuppets. The fucking Tallest_Skill (two Ls) account is STILL UP AFTER TWO MONTHS despite being… wait a minute, two months? THAT ONE was made during the registration block?! Okay, never mind. Some government official owns that one. The account has never posted anything that is not the legal definition of libel. By US law–and by the Voat rules governing account name impersonation–it must be banned and all posts must be deleted. Putt refuses to do this.

Was it one or 2 months ago ? Around the time he purged a bunch of accounts so I think just under 2 months, not 100% sure.

The OP went further into it in the comments, not sure how far you dove into that post. I agree proof is lacking but it is worrisome indeed.

It's obvious Voat is being watched, manipulated and users are being "recorded". Of that I have doubt, I cringed hard when Qrv was created... almost as if it was an attempt to corral those nitwits onto a single platform.

The canary is bust, Putt hasn't made any posts to /v/announcements for 6 months, he uses /v/voat now to talk to us. The canary was only updated with every /v/announcements post but, he can't anymore. He pretty much said it with this post here :

*no one is going to do a goddamn thing about it.

Nope, not in this case. As for the general signification of that statement, I think it's too early. For a revolt to happen shit has to be bad all over so people suffer and feel the need to up.

Is the frog being boiled just slowly enough to avoid this ? Perhaps.

Is it unavoidable at some point ? I'd like to think so.

Why ? Because here in Qc, we have a deeply engrained nationalistic sense of belonging, it's directly linked to our history of cultural persecution at the hands of the British and then the English Canadians. When shtf I have a feeling we'll be the beacon of hope for all Canadian because generally we have no problem being racist assholes who say fuck you, this is how we do things within these borders. Fuck, jew jokes are part of our upbringing. The expression "Osti de juif" (fucking jew) never gets a retort of being antisemitic between Quebekers.

That's just my optimistic side, part of me knows it all has to burned down to be rebuilt.
