I think Voat is capable of hosting unlimited communities with different interests and standards. It was designed for this purpose. It's what makes this kind of platform attractive. FPH is a perfect case study.

If we have a problem after things settle a bit (because most migrations bring bad actors along for the ride, but they fizzle out among level heads), we will address it and fix it. I promise this.

Many of these immigrants have no idea what we've been through and thus don't respect Voat like they should. They see Voat as a small faceless wannabe reddit clone website (can you blame them?) and they have not the loyalties and bonds that run deep for us goats. This is the main problem, in that we've bleed and sacrificed for Voat, whereas they've simply registered a new account.

Also, please consider that there are those that intentionality increase tension because it causes drama (on both sides).

I'm going to wait until the dust settles and then reassess.

If we have solutions to problems let's discuss in v/ideasforvoat. If I find it is a problem, I need to figure out what to do anyways, so let's start talking solutions!

Problems force us to make our system better (and everyone here has to honestly admit we have some fairly good protections in place that have done their job). I look at problems as an opportunity to make Voat better and I'm not giving up on Voat.

PuttItOut ago

Take out the smilies and winkies and you have the start of a potentially good copypasta here. ;)

AoV ago

hypocrite , nods as good as a wink xx

Professor_de_la_Paz ago

Do points accrued in the Q subs count towards their ability to downvoat on the rest of the site?

Plavonica ago

Thanks for taking the calm and rational stance. As much as we all hate the migrations they do inject new blood around here.

SearchVoatBot ago

Bleep bloop, someone mentioned this comment!

'Holy Shit! check out all these tears - all of [Legacy] voat is freaking out and plotting to suppress our free speech' was posted in v/QRV and includes this reply:

Yeah it's just terrible.

This notification (#1284) was posted automatically by the SearchVoat.co Cross-Link Bot. You can suppress this notification by appending a forward-slash(/) to the Voat link. More information here.

we will address it and fix it. I promise this.

This is why I, no-homo, love you.

I’m new to Voat. I signed in at Reddit and lasted 10 minutes, I didn’t care for it

TexasDeplorable1135 ago

So, rational thought seems the better choice. Thanks for the update.

The "real" problem is when you look at v/all unfiltered

It's no longer v/all it's v/q basically, that's where the problem is if any, I had to block v/QRV because it was unbearable, something like 9 post on 10 in v/all was v/QRV

for v/theawakening and v/GreatAwakening, both not black listed on my v/all, it's rather ok, it pops up often but doesn't cover v/all entirely

It's really a matter of quantity, regardless of the number of upvoats a post gets, there shouldn't be more than 3 of the same sub in v/all, only the 3 best ranked, otherwise if you let everything go on the basis of upvoats only the sub with the most contributors like v/QRV with fucken 300 upvoat on average for every post takes all the first page slots, it's bordering on spam

I throw that rough as it is, there are probably adjustments to make but you get the idea

Hydrocephalus ago

If it wasn't easy to block a sub I'd say you have a point, but it is really easy to block a sub.

kalgon ago

Sure it's easy to block, except when you're not logged evidently... Then it's not voat it's Qvoat

Hydrocephalus ago

That sucks.

literally_a_tractor ago

"on both sides"

now im triggered

HateCumbuckets ago

To be fair here, I don't remember fph coming in and vowing to take over voat and censor any other sub or ideas they didn't like. @The_Penis_Wizard your thoughts?

DrSelfAppointed ago

Here's an idea for Voat. As a leader, how about not letting in the Trojan's horse while throwing it a parade? They are here because their cult leader sent them here. It sent them here because you tossed open the red carpet, and put out the best place settings for them like no other site had. While the immune system anguishes away, Benedicts keep helping them navigate our defenses. I don't believe it's unfair to say this storm we are in is due in major part to your welcome party. Maybe address that elephant in room?

I feel like there is a common, story, or reoccurring allegory here about omnipotence trying to intervene with good intention; only for every action to be met with disastrous results.

Awake2Truth ago

@PuttitOut TY for your level headedness and willingness to allow us to learn and to integrate into VOAT. We want to play fair, pull our weight, and adapt to the culture here. Voat is one of the last bastions of free speech and for that deserves our support and respect.

recon_johnny ago

While FPH may be a test case, it has nowhere near the volume. There is an overwhelming number of new posts, and yes, you can not subscribe to the subs; however, what said here has some merit. It would be easy to see this becoming a 'Q' site in the near future.

I'll take your challenge and will think of solutions in /ideasforvoat.

What I really don't want, as do others, is to change the dynamic that Voat has become. It's become personal for me; again, as with others. I'm truly vested.

Thanks for your help, Putt.

SnapAwake ago

As a noob here I appreciate this.

tadorno ago

I'm so thankful for how measured you are, Putt.

We've seen time and time again on other websites, and certain subverses, where people will immediately default to abusing their power when confronted with any kind of challenge to the idea of what their little space should be like. The fact that you always take a calm and rational approach is a real testament to your character.

NoTrueScotsman ago

If they're going to suppress content in other subs because they don't like it, it's a whole different animal than FPH. Time will tell if they actually do so.

JamesGunnIsPedo ago

I doubt it man. They probably just legitimately want their own Q community. They pick apart and read between the lines of Q's words to justify their separate verse, but whatever, I dont think most of them would care to participate outside their community.

NoTrueScotsman ago

I just don't have any evidence to suggest that all the posts on 8chan, reddit, and here calling for vote manipulation and sabotaging other subverses to get "offensive" content off of v/all is fake. Even if the people making those instruction posts were all infiltrators trying to make everyone look bad, how many people follow along once that's posted?

I didn't say it was all of them, of course it isn't. But to say every single one of them dindu nuffin is a lie.

lifes-not-fair ago

Thanks for all you do for the community.

dontdoxxmefaggots ago

You must be new here.

ruck_feddit ago

Q predicted this.

Herox29 ago

I am 100% okay with the kids, trolls, racists, and nazis having their free speech. But when I come to read about crazy Q stuff, I don't wanna read about how much they hate jews and blacks. I am not interested in that. I understand, they don't like jews for there reasons, and that is their right. I am just not interested in it.

boggle247 ago

Then a free speech platform isn't for you. It's free. If you don't like it, go host your bullshit Q circle jerk content on your own server and make your own fucking website. Who the fuck do you think you are? Fucking kike

Fambida ago

That's what the block button is for, not the downvote button.

Q_WWG1WGA ago

Lol Q followers dont hate jews or blacks! If so then it are trolls! Q followers are not what you describe.

justsayingmayne ago

the issue is that if someone accused you of racism, sexism, any ism, you'd deny it and apologize instead of just saying "so what"

the best part about voat is reading things you disagree with. learn how to entertain a thought without accepting it.

elitch2 ago

I have free showers for you, right over here...

digitalentity1497 ago

Nice list but I doubt this tard would dare click on the link.

draaaak ago

Good list. There are a few there I haven't seen yet, which I will be watching over the next week or so. Thanks.

NoRagrets ago

I am just not interested in it.

Option 1. Post a few funny but thought-provoking memes.
Option 2. Post an endless list of JewTube videos no one click.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

NoRagrets ago

Fair enough, I standsit corrected.
I guess I lean more towards /u/Rawrination's preference for the Fully Compiled Introductory Redpill Dump.

DasReich ago

Then by all means. However, I'm not going to put a ton of effort into these boomers.

PuttItOut ago

Where is the "add a meme" button?

VetGoat84 ago

I really like seeing you around more, carefag.

I hope this wave of Q shit doesn't fuck up any of your work. Do you think they were sent to be red pilled or subvert their host?

elitch2 ago

Mate, alt-f4 opens meme menu.

Fucking newfags, eh?

badruns ago

... Can we get a "new here" badge just for him? Is that too much work for a meme?
