This new migration actually makes me sad.

Yeah, Voat was small and a decently close knit community for all of our differences. But now, it seriously feels like my town was just invaded and occupied. These people aren’t like us and it doesn’t sit well with me

I would never normally advocate for downvote brigade, but in this case we need to keep them all under 100 until they adjust and integrate, or they leave.

They were able to compensate for this by disabling downvoats for anyone with less than 10 scp in the subverse. Since none of you are able to get a 10-upvoat thread over there, it's a pretty good way to preserve their culture.

Because they instituted restrictions on voting in their sub, no the points they earn in their sub actually apply to their CCP. Most of them have hundreds of CCP inside v/theawakening but zero real CCP.

What we have to do is keep an eye out for these people when they post on the rest of the site. Otherwise I could give a flying fuck what they get up to in v/theawakening. So far they are containing their own cancer. We just have to be vigilant to make sure it doesn't spread to the rest of the site.

You might be too dumb to realize that this is a good thing.

They're all able to post for ages in their little walled-garden. This encourages them to not veer outside their sandbox for fear of negative real CCP. Just like most /qresearch/ readers don't end up going to /rg/, /cow/ or even /b/. They'll stay where it's safe, and only venture out when they feel comfortable dipping the toe in the GAS THE KIKES RACE WAR NOW pool that the rest of Voat is swimming in.

If you see a User created in September 2018 or afterwards, they're refugees. Keep their CCP below 100, and they'll be easy to manage.

I agree it's a good thing they are containing their own cancer. We just need to keep an eye out for them when they step outside their playground. What I'm worried about is we will get complacent and then a year to these people will be running the site into the ground.
