Ok, little help here for the retarded Qfag. So I get here, which sucks for everyone because to hear it told, I'm vermin upon arrival. But instead of slinking into the sub that brought me here, I'm told that I should explore the rest of the place and get involved. So when I do that, I see that I am now violating goat turf and should scamper back to my asshole infested site and stop ruining the rest of the place.
I can see how that's very confusing. I'd suggest commenting in your Q board (and we actually have 3 active ones right now, so check out v/greatawakening and v/theawakening if you haven't) and lurking a bit in other subs before you jump in.
What's happened is this migration has been several times the size of the normal userbase, and the userbase has been through a series of ddoses, outages, attempted takeovers, etc. previously, so we are a bit defensive and hostile about this. Add to this that many who have come in this migration are posting plans to specifically attack and subvert voat, and every time someone finds that, they post links, you might see why we get riled up.
Yeah, I can see how the migration can be overwhelming. I can also see that my original comment was misconstrued as me complaining, which isn't the case at all. I was pointing out the ironic dynamic that you guys have baked into the cake with the way you set up the setup.
Yeah, I can totally see how it's frustrating because you're basically assumed to be guilty of everyone in the big group's sins. It is our policy to haze people, though, just to make sure they are tough enough and deprogrammed enough to stand it here. There are a lot of truths people have been conditioned that it's rude to notice.

Wtf? I feel like I'm in an Escher-ville.

Oh, I have no problem with hazing. It's ok to be white.

Yeah, you sounded pretty reasonable to me, which is why I gave you a good answer. If you'd been hysterical, I wouldn't have bothered.
I think there's a lot of overlap in the critical-minded Q people and the rest of us alt-mid-to-righters.

And right back at ya. I guess it's just a matter of waiting for the fog to burn off and then getting into the meat of the matter.

That's part of it with any migration, seeing who sticks around.
