I love you @NeonRevolt I read you everyday so I know you can take this right. This is a shill move that will be pounced on by the healthy Anit-Q skeptics on this site. They have shouted down Over 9000 Amalek alts using these same tactics and they will brand you a shill and never forget. Some of them will never trust the plan because they cannot stand by and watch (((them))) be saved for last.
I love that you are bringing attention to the site, but promoting an upvoat farm is bad form. How hard is it to encourage natural engagement with the locals or each other? Giving out free upvoats is a slap in the face to those of us who smelled how the wind was blowing long ago and came to this place because the speech was free and the rules were fair. Then at the end of October last year I saw someone on Voat mention some larpanon posting a lot of interesting stuff on the chans about national guard in the streets and have followed every day since. Then I read your piece on moving to Voat and though encouraging, I had to SMH at the link to the Upvoat Farm disguised as a regular link to fool all the locals.
You had time to prepare. You knew the storm was coming. What part of another wave of attacks coming [yesterday] wasn't understood?
You literally don't know enough about what's happening behind-the-scenes to understand what's happening now. I don't say that to "pull rank" or whatever, but to try and say there's a lot more going on here than you're aware.
The moves we made today were necessary, and I think you'll see that play out in short order. I just hope Voat is strong enough to bear the server load what with onboarding 300,000+ new people in a short amount of time.
Fiy, Voat has been under a 24/7 DDoS attack for 3 consecutive years now, at least one host got threatened to let us go, our merchandise store got shut down, our paypal got shut down. There isn't an underhanded way to attempt getting rid of us that haven't been tried, so don't you pull your 'what's happening behind-the-scenes' bullshit, we know better than anyone else.
You are as far as I'm concerned welcome here, but upvoat farming is not. T_D tried that crap and they got sent packing for it.
We'll see. The fact that it caught you by surprise that you got kicked off of Reddit makes me question your ability to plan ahead. I mean if you think yourself informed of what is and what's coming, the writing on the wall was pretty fucking clear on that one!
And the point wall isn't stupid. If you stay around long enough you'll see why.
I was literally the **only **one warning people. Many didn't believe me. A mod today posted about how the sub was safe, right before it got taken down.
When the takedown did happen, it was a matter of helping good people set the thing up, and then turning around and helping the people find the new setup. I helped facilitate that transition as best I could.
Look, I already run my own site, and an archive subdomain, and a store subdomain, and a gab, and a mewe, and a Telegram channel, and, and, and...
I don't have enough time to add something more to the slate. I'm just one guy. I know I work constantly, so people think it's a team here, but the truth is, it's always been a one-man-show.
Maybe the limit isn't stupid, but we needed to hit the ground running today. These are exceptional times in which we are living. And like I said, it wouldn't happen again.
First time I've ever heard people complain about bringing thousands of good users to a site, though.
You were not they Only one warning people. Hell reddit doesn't need a warning, it's known that this kind of thing WILL happen, eventually. Why do you think I set up my board here when Q moved to 8ch instead of reddit. When Q 404'd at 4ch, it's the first thing I did.
Some paytriots like Corsi, are circling vultures looking for their next meal. Some become paytriots over time by circumstance, and where he Corsis of the world deep down know what they are, those afflicted by a slow sleeping in MIGHT not realize that it has happened to them. They may come up with lots of reasons and "logic" that to THEM is in line with the original mission, in order to keep the cash cow nearby. It's all important, because they have such a "responsibility" in their mind. Because THEY are all important.
I advise introspection and caution.
No one that I saw complained about people coming here. You know that. They complained about other things. They were hazing sure. It's a well known test on Voat. Not a surprise. Did you not inform your followers?
P.S. v/pizzagate has the other pg boards in its sidebar. Remember that when comparing the "badness" of v/pizzagate to things.

Well, it's not going to happen again. We had to move as fast as we could, and the only way to do that was to get past the stupid comment point wall.
Bros, we're all gonna make it.
