Voat always felt like the old internet, before the normalfags, social media, real name bullshit, etc. I thought that was gone forever, but this place give me hope. People still want that internet back, where you can say nigger and call people fags without having it destroy your career.
I'll always cherish the times when reddit was really starting to ban subs in waves early on and this site as a whole would step up their offensive speech game just to see who was really here for the free speech and who couldn't hang.
AOL chat rooms were fun but my Quake2 Rocket Area clan made me go IRC for meetings. Everything was wide open in those days and no control. I didn't think of it but yes! You are right this kinda reminds me of the 90's.
Yep, Voat was a good place to be able to vent, and see other peoples vents and know you went alone in the wilderness. Kept me from running down the streets screaming about niggers and jews and those mush brained sjws.
Yeah. Remember AOL chat rooms? AOL discs were EVERYWHERE. Power Tools? You could have tabs in IM with it. Punting programs to kick assholes offline via IM? Then busy servers until midnight so couldn't get back on? I had an IP service so TCP/IP connection to AOL was instantaneous, back online and then punted the offender who punted me, who in turn, would not be back that evening. Massive scripts of different symbols/letters making pictures? We were doing meetups with girls from the area and getting laid. I loved the internet then. It took some serious cash to get a computer, so it was largely a whites-only endeavor. Good times indeed!
fuck yeah I miss those days. People were savage bullies too. And most people could take it and give it just as good. Now you spend your time on the internet being scared you're going to be banned for saying the wrong thing.
the internet was much better before niggers. niggers should never get any technology. ever. even fire. and left to their own devices they never would have.

Voat really had that wild west feel to it.

I've recently moved to a small rural Texas town. I don't think anyone would bat an eye here.

This place really was just somewhere to let it all out and see other people doing it too. It was cathartic

Left to their own geological pen, they would be a curiosity and nothing more. Like a big ole' continent-sized zoo. Fucking kikes.
