I used to go on Digg.com and StumbleUpon to find new and interesting stuff on our precious Internet. Then, came Digg 2.0 or something like that, which sucked; I don't even really remember why. I just know that I didn't like it. That's when I gave reddit a chance, with all their funny ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu memes, technologically impaired ducks, philosophical raptors, etc. I thought reddit was so great and had so much potential; even politically. I thought, maybe political parties could have a subreddit and use it to poll their constituents about anything and everything! What the fuck was I thinking. But, then, it all got fucked up like I couldn't even have imagined. I deleted my reddit account when Pao started her censorship bullshit, and it just went downhill from there. Anyway, every time VOAT goes down, it makes me uneasy. I feel so fucking lucky to have VOAT every single day, but when it comes back online after being down for a while, the relief I feel is intense. I pray nothing bad comes our way... I just love this place. It's incredible. I've learned so much here, I obtained knowledge but also learned to see things from a different point of view. FUCK CENSORSHIP.

This site is a shell of what it used to be, you can't even send a link to a non user because its closed off by sign in requirments.
This place is slowly dying like the other sites did.

For the same reason. Invaded by trash.

It's not all newer users. I see tiresome responses by very old account users. It looks like more and more of the quality users have left.

whatever happened to @BLOODandHONOR ? That dude was always so pleasantly over the top. Cracked me up.

People come and go. I like the current batch, feels like less of a hivemind lately. You gotta admit the Q users were pretty hilarious.

Only in that way that especially oblivious way that a child with severe retardation is hilarious when it joins a cult.

I mean- it's mostly Boomers. They weren't thinking for themselves, but they were finally disillusioned on some things.
Soon enough they'll either go back to their old stupid ways or go farther down the rabbit hole. A little proud of them for turning away from tradition here, even if it was for a scam
