🎂 Happy 8th Birthday Poal! 🎂 | Poal: Say what you want.

Dear Poalrs,

Poal has become such an important part of my life, especially after Boobs' passing.

This journey began in the end of April 2018 with a simple and honest idea: to provide a place where you can truly speak freely about this clown-world we're living in, without getting brigaded, shut down and doxed by triggered shabbos goys and their kvetching satanic chosen tribe.

Thank you, every one of you for your participation, your support, and your trust. Your feedback, your suggestion, and your enthusiasm is what makes Poal so special. It motivated me to continue, to listen to your needs and to add features based on your ideas and suggestions.

Some Poalrs would like to see Poal grow bigger (even though the traffic is increasing every month, mostly lurkers), pointing at the mandatory introduction and the lobby, saying they are too restrictive.

As a Poalr, you are part of the immune system that protects it. So, if you want to see it grow, help spread the word, and engage with the newcomers who don't act like degenerate glowniggers.

We are all part of Poal, even those who left us too soon. PMYB2...Owlchemy...COF...Suplex...Picman(?)...

We are one of the last few places where we still can freely discuss.

Be the change you want to see. Drop the booze, drop the nigger-weed, hit the gym and get ripped, and share some pie, bread, bacon and other recipes, but also poetry.

Love you all!

Christ is King!

Poal hosting expenses are covered up until december, so if you want to help, check the donation page. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Happy birthday to the only place on the internet that feels normal. It truly has been an oasis from the insanity of the world.

The introduction and lobby is the bestest. Those who want to join and post can still do so. Absolutely no complaints here.

The whine with kvetchup crowd is great too. We need more of them. Entertainment at it's finest.

Bravo AOU,

Excellent platform. You keep this thing tight and functional. As for the growth, I say slow and steady. The major platforms are designed for the attention economy, not being able to speak freely. Two very different use cases.

And by growth, what does that actually mean? More posts? It seems there are enough posts. If people want more posts, there is a very easy solution to that. I prefer less noise and more signal. Irrelevant or noisy posts aren't worth while. Gating people from posting shit is precisely the correct thing to do. Adding friction works: it keeps the noise away.

And if you don't like what I'm saying, then Fuck all Y'all!

Thanks for keeping this place running, even for those of us who mainly lurk.

Thank you for keeping the dream alive. After Voat went down I was worried that would be it, but it turned out there was another island out there. I'll always be grateful for that.
