What you missed on Voat today, E.06. (whatever)

submitted ago by Delacourt

The task: Daily, identify noteworthy postings on Voat you may have passed by and not seen. Some days may have more, some less. /disclaimer

Bias: Openly my own. Rational. Based on life experiences. Happy to be educated on any and all things.

The objective: To create dialogue. Noteworthy content sometimes doesn’t make the first 4 pages of Voat. This gives that content a second chance, and can kickstart conversation. Overall effort to avoid politics, but not always exempt political views.

*Objective feedback always welcome. Links guide to the original user-posted content so you can participate. Topics are mostly in random order. This is a carbon copy of the Daily Recaps made by /u/virge, I hope you enjoy. *

  1. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3252132 Whitepill: Trump's approval rating hits its highest point in two years. 48% approve of the job he is doing, with even greater percentages approving of his handling of the economy. This from a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll online survey of 1,295 registered voters conducted from May 29 to May 30.

  2. https://voat.co/v/politics/3252848 Justin Amash, the cuckservative Congress member who called for Trump's impeachment, is openly criticized by crowd members at a recent town hall in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

  3. https://voat.co/v/MediaInAction/3252187 This links to a must-see collection of graphs detailing a media increase in SJW-associated terms over 2013-2015. This is the same time period from which terms like "white privilege" and "people of color" emerged into the common lexicon. There ought to be a name for this crucial historical event.

  4. https://voat.co/v/politics/3252211 NPR admits that the Democrats have stopped caring about border enforcement, despite strong support for it as recently as 10 years ago. Unfortunately, of course, NPR agrees with their stance. That reminds me, is there a one-word term for "illegal immigration"?

  5. https://voat.co/v/news/3252236 Brian Kolfage of "We Build the Wall" reports cartel members have threatened construction crews. If you haven't heard of it, the We Build the Wall project is excellent and must be doing great work if they're getting threats from cartels.

  6. https://voat.co/v/politics/3252263 AOC is promoting community gardens as part of her "Green New Deal". While this article is mainly critical of her, there is nothing wrong with setting up community gardens. Why should AOC have all the fun? /v/JustGrowIt

  7. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2019/05/29/ocasio-cortez-fires-back-after-being-included-in-enemies-of-freedom-video-at-baseball-game/ Speaking of AOC, she was recently depicted as an "enemy of freedom" at a Grizzlies baseball game alongside Kim Jong Un and Fidel Castro. I couldn't find a Voat post for this but had to include it anyway. Tweet the Grizzlies your support at https://twitter.com/FresnoGrizzlies

  8. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3249732/18913831/10#18913831 Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, has called for Sunday June 2 to be a national day of prayer for President Trump. With the Catholic Pope cucking out, it's good to hear some religious leader supporting a conservative point of view.

  9. https://voat.co/v/whatever/3252719 /u/LazyJello9 calls on goats to live the life they preach, working hard to advance their position and have many children. This is great advice all around, and goats should always be wary of those who push others to do what they themselves are unwilling to do (specifically fedposters).

  10. https://voat.co/v/whatever/3252123 @Glipglup states that fat feminists are a tiny minority of women overall, and exhorts goats to not get blackpilled and end up a childless singleton. I'm inclined to agree with him but there is some debate in the comments.

  11. https://voat.co/v/AskVoat/3252781 @mralexson posits that the decline of religion in the West has weakened the West while empowering its more faithful opponents. Makes sense to me.

  12. https://voat.co/v/AskVoat/3252053/18932362 Some intelligent discussion on how to redpill people in a thread about distinguishing effective online from real-world rhetoric.

  13. https://voat.co/v/QRV/3252429 Russia is not the old Soviet Union - this thread remarks on how supportive leftists were of the USSR compared to how spooked they are of modern Russia.

Comments are welcome. Enjoy!

Right on

Would you be interested in proof that Voat has been compromised?

Delacourt ago

It's sitting at 1 upvote... you didn't even tag him. He probably didn't even see it.

DrSelfAppointed ago

Nothing like picking up the torch of a flaming faggot to really contribute. Couldn't you have at least tried to reformat and make it your own? At the very least a different tittle... Leave it to a Q to just follow a plan.

ruck_feddit ago

Exactly. To make it even better, he linked to antiamerican faggot lazyjello.

ruck_feddit ago

Lazy "America is a shithole" and "I talk about nigger cock all the time because I'm always talking to Americans and I know how much you Mutts love black cock" Jello9 says just enough voat friendly shit to keep his ccp in the positive and account unrestricted. Give him a medal for making you look like a fool.

You’re doing the goat’s work <3

Really look forward to your insightful compendium. Thanks.

Whoa! You're a builder now! You did it!

Duchozz ago

Muh builders

Delacourt ago

Thanks lol. I thought these were great threads, it's a shame /u/virge stopped doing them. Happy to be a builder and help Voat.

virge ago

Just a FYI, I specifically avoided politics because politics already makes up the first 4 pages of Voat, and I almost never posted something which was already on the first 4 pages of Voat.

It's more of an "anti-news" second front page. If it had more than 10 views, 2 upvoats, and/or was political I didn't post it. Every single day I did it, political garbage was more than half the comments I collected, and they were 99% of the comments I deleted before posting.

You do your own thing, that was just my formula.

Delacourt ago

Thanks. I have a question though, how were you able to find more obscure threads that were also high-quality?

My only technique has been to obsessively browse /v/all/new, but then most of the threads are not insightful enough to include.

I definitely do want to include less political content overall, at least compared to what you'd normally see on Voat, unless it is something that has been ignored or is particularly important or relevant.

I have a question though, how were you able to find more obscure threads that were also high-quality?

I ignored the headline and clicked every link to actually read the content. I then judged the content on what I consider to be merit. It's my own bias with a long experience of reading shit on the Internet.

My only technique has been to obsessively browse /v/all/new, but then most of the threads are not insightful enough to include.

My approach was mostly formulaic. Spend a scheduled 30 minutes or so of time every day, once in the morning, and once near midday, going back in /v/all/new and working my way forward. Anything that was over an hour old and had <2 upvotes was an easy target. Open a tab, review them all around 2 hours prior to the post to see which still fit criteria.

I definitely do want to include less political content overall, at least compared to what you'd normally see on Voat, unless it is something that has been ignored or is particularly important or relevant.

Your call. My goal was to avoid politics completely, but that's mostly because it made the task more challenging and I enjoy a challenge that results in better content. If you avoid politics then you simply have a higher engagement rate because people are politically over-stimulated today.

Give people real interesting events and they may learn something interesting.

Delacourt ago

Thank you for the advice. I think I've assembled most of the articles I need for today, although I'll check again later tonight.

However, I'm still having difficulty finding quality material that isn't wholly political in nature. It's not just challenging, it's impossible to find the content. Maybe my standards are just awry?

I would recommend go to the domain links in voat or possibly the voatarchive list on bitchute. These can list submissions in a different way that might let you see something that was missed on voat because of a bad title, low traffic sub or bad posting time.

Delacourt ago

Thanks, I'll have to try this!

virge ago

Maybe my standards are just awry?

It's probably more a sum of knowledge and experience thing than a standard thing.

Standards change with experience.
