Imgur is compromised. Alternatives:
Youtube is compromised. Hooktube no longer works. Use:
Windows is compromised. Linux is nowhere near as hard to use or install as FUD would have you believe. Numerous posts have been created here over the years on getting started in the various Linux flavors, and we are more than happy to help out.
NordVPN/Protonmail (along with most VPN/private email services) are compromised. There are no 'proven good' alternatives, but there are some that haven't yet been proven bad:
- https://tutanota.com/
- Rolling your own email server (which can cost just the price of a domain, and possibly also a raspberry pi if you want a dedicated server)
Nightmode is top right: https://imgoat.com/uploads/5e00132373/145569.bmp
You can save posts and comments. You can only view 20 pages of your own comment history, which means that, when you eventually need to cite that one glorious comment you wrote last year/month/week, you'll be unable to find it without having it saved.
Politics spill into everything, and because of the reduction in ability to censor (even for curation's sake), you will find politics even here, in your own sub, eventually. Modlogs are public and cannot be hidden. Here is yours: https://imgoat.com/uploads/5e00132373/145571.bmp
It's a smaller community here. If there is some form of content that you want, but can't find, contribute what small amount you have to start things off and others will pitch in. The Chans work the same way, and the Linux ecosystem as a whole *tends* to operate this way.
(((Echoes))) around a noun signify either that it is Jewish (e.g. for a name), or that it is the product of Jewish meddling (e.g. for a concept). Contrary to mainstream damage control, echoes aren't a right wing 'golden star' or similar, but actually are how they would refer to themselves in classified CIA documents.
Ask people to cite their sources - most are friendly enough to tell you where they found/heard something.
Welcome to Voat. Enjoy your stay.

Great Tips. I feel like I’ve been shipwrecked on an uncharted island and not sure what language the natives are speaking.

I'd only learned a few phrases and now I have to start to learn another new language. Pardon me, while I lurk awhile and people watch till I get the hang of it!

Same here. I, for instance, learned at least one new word! Never thought I would type the word niggerfaggot!

Still have trouble with that, but I get it. If you can write it and not be banned, then you are in a free speech zone. It is the canary in a coal mine. I left voat after pizzagate devolved into some sort of nazi like shit show. again, I get it. The goal is to drive away the shills. But I can't send my grandmother there to learn more. I think that is the issue I am having. I think that was why reddit was serving a purpose.

Exactly right. This is all that matters. If people are repelled by liberty then we don't want them around because it's impossible they can ever meaningfully contribute to a discussion or society at large. They care more for emotion than facts or evidence.
Words like, "nigger", "faggot", or, "niggerfaggot", need not become every day words. I have no use for them in daily life. In fact I've used them more since the Reddit Great Awakening migration than I have in years here.
Here you will lean the true meaning of liberty, tolerance, and diversity. Sadly, the real meaning scares many people away. Which brings us back to the canary in the coal mine.
“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Soren Kierkegaard
“A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything." - Napoleon I
People who hate the canary have no place in America, let alone Voat.
