Hi Q-refugees. Welcome, fuck you, and here's pointers on the culture. (whatever)

submitted ago by Akas

Hi Q-refugees, you may notice that you'll be getting a lot of pushback from voat users in the next couple of days. That's because it's a different culture here, one that you're probably not used to. Culture shock is normal, so here's a few pointers.

  1. Free speech can be ugly, and you're going to have to get used to it. Someone once said that the ability to call people "Niggerfaggots" on this site acts as a canary in the coal mine: as long as people aren't getting banned, that's how you know you can truly say anything. Be prepared to be called names you didn't expect on this site: it's a right of passage, and you can always ignore/block users or subs if it's too much.

  2. Don't cheat the system. You need 100 CCP to post, 10 to downvote (I think), and ban logs are visible to the public. QRV will NOT get you these points, as it's an anon sub. That means, you'll have to interact with rest of the site for these privileges: hence, why I listed point one. If your mods are ban-happy, we'll be able to see it and we'll probably mock them/point it out. So just actually contribute to the site: it won't take too long, and we'll probably mass-downvoat you if we see you begging.

  3. Freedom is costly. Literally. There's a ton of you, and voat's had some issues with server load before.
    Link to the original post so you don't think I'm trying to scam you "I hate receiving donations for a few reasons but here is Voat's BTC address if you feel called to donate: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k. Please only donate if you have the means."

  4. If all you want to do is post and read about Q, just do your basic homework (with okay contributions it should honestly take a day or less to earn enough CCP) and go back into your subs. We'll mostly leave you alone, although sometimes we'll mock you. Want an example? People mostly ignore FatPeopleHate and they just do their own thing.

Thanks, welcome, and fuck you again.

To Whom It May Concern,

I was raised a liberal. I became a progressive. My version of progress eventually became liberalism. I stopped identifying. I stopped being labeled. I watched identity politics manifest. I was a part of identity politics. I was part of Occupy Wall Street and identity politics was not prevalent. Language has been important. Language will always be important. Occupy Wall Street was framed as a leftist movement. It was not. It was a movement of people, learning to live in community and it was an opportunity to listen ideologies that were foreign. It was here that the foundation for similarity was formed and destroyed. I see it on the boards. We are fighting corruption. We fought corruption about six years ago. It was not about who was black or white... it was... but not like this. It was about who is rich and poor, but it was not class warfare. It was about who saw the truth and who was in denial. We told the truth before the truth was in the alternative news. We were the alternative news. It was co-opted. Every last bit of it. If you are true occupy, you know what happened. We lost. The meme war defeated us on Bunker Hill. We regrouped and have been permeated every memesphere since. We are here. True progressives. We wanted peace, prosperity and a better future for ourselves. We didn't realize protest fails when the media doesn't cover it. I am sorry. I failed. The question remains, under what banner do we form to fight? Patriotism is my opinion. It is our self. If we want to change the world, we should change ourselves. If our larger self is America, I will not deny my haplogroup, while recognizing the power of epigenetics. Go fuck yourselves.

Sincerely, Anonymous
