After Voat collapsed, and 4chan got filled with glow niggers from the election, no one website rose to fill the niche. Some didn't like offensive words, some have mods who police heavily, some (Poal) are very cliquey and hard to break into, and some might as well be Reddit clones. So all the traffic you'd see on Voat is now scattered to the winds. In some ways, that might be better, since the glow niggers have to spread resources a lot harder now, making it easier for sites that give a fuck to pick them out and deal with them.

Voat didn't have any traffic. What the fuck are you talking about. And this place isn't cliquey, this makes no sense. Everyone gets a go fuck your self nigger faggot upon entry equally, it's a rite of passage. AOU and others seem to run this site on a string of beans whereas the faggots running Voat did nothing but bitch and complain.

It's all the same. Onwards and upwards.

Voat did have a surprising amount of traffic. For example: https://searchvoat.co/v/whatever/2834709 https://de.catbox.moe/9v1wi7.png

rank #1300 USA

For comparison: gab.com rank #976 USA poal.co rank #17,199 USA

E: I should probably mention that these numbers could be manually adjusted to make sites appear better/worse. Recall hearing something to that effect (banning from search engines/social media) happening to Poal.

Thats correct. These numbers mean nothing, especially when you know scrappers/bots are blocked from mining on Poal.

Voat's traffic at the end was nothing more than a handful of people screaming nigger jew faggot all day.

When realvoat closed, those same users came here and complained about how they went through pages and pages of comments and there wasn't a single post criticizing jews.

Thankfully fakevoat opened and they all went away. I'd have to say latter-days realvote and fakevoat were/are far more cliquey than here.

I joined here and NEVER looked back. Rip boobs.

Can attest, I still have friends from Voat that did indeed scatter to the winds, many never came back here to poal, or the 'new' Voat.

[–] 2 pts

Yup. I miss the old crowd from Voat, especially the SBBH/Moshi crowd

What was your handle on voat? Mine didnt change.

It's always been the same. I did have an 'alt' on Voat for a few months for fun. But not here.

I think I discovered Voat in 2016, I lurked for a good while before joining in.

It is really the only place to get the news perspective we are looking for. R/conspiracy is soft as shit and 4chan is fubar.

Voat.xyz is al alternative, but I'm not a fan. The content feels more...fringe, and the site admins are douche bags

[–] [deleted] 3 pts

The owners of Voat were awesome, but 90% of the users there were a big bag of dicks. Here it's like 50/50. I honestly like Poal way more than Voat. But I'll never forget Voat. It had its moments.

Thank you I got a new phone and lost the link. Anything to keep me from looking at pol

r/conspiracy has been dead for years.

I remember trying to pill a bunch of chumps on Sandy Hook and I couldn’t believe how many shills there were at that time.

The internet was better when it was tens of thousands of different blogs and forums. Nobody used screen names and free speech was unquestionable because soft normies couldn't be bothered to dig and find them.

I miss the days of megaforums with thousands and thousands of users. It was sorta like a huge ass moshpit of insanity. Then, in 2002, they all died. Major cohencidence.

once upon a time dalnets #melbourne channel would get a couple of thousand at a time. it was actually possible to pick up and get laid quite reliably, and there were plenty of house parties had too.

Was thinking the same. I member pizzagate days on Voat with hundreds of upvotes, all manner of day and night.

It will happen again.

[–] [deleted] 6 pts

I miss voat but it doesn't make sense that one person per state upvotes our top stories. It is the opposite of astronomical. It is atomical

Qanon fractured the alternative right. Tell me that wasn’t a pysop

We scare people away by calling everyone a faggot. But it is a term of affection! I love all you faggots here!

[–] 1 pt

It's a preemptive thin-skin filter. Let'em know right off that if they're going choose to be offended by words they'll probably be happier fucking off.

Ya beautiful nigger, you!

How are people supposed to find this site?

Good question. I guess id expect more people to take my path r/niggers- voat- poal out of pure necessity because how can you not vent about niggers

Since I was a kid I was on totse (the GOAT) then zoklet, the Chans, voat, poal. They all appealed to a niche population to begin with. But even if everyone is scattered now I think poal has the potential to be the central hub for it all. The traffic is never going to be like Reddit, But I know a lot of people that would enjoy it here who have never even heard of this place. I came here after voat with almost no knowledge of poal, but liked it a lot and stayed once I came. Post links to poal more often on gab and it’ll bring more people

Low traffic is probably more genuine. I imagine most social media is inundated with astroturfers that artificially inflate the numbers.

[–] 0 pt

When you take out the bots I think a lot of social media has traffic more like Poal.

Goddam i wish I knew the exact numbers. Just like black crime stats. I know its 80% but I want to see the numbers.

Honestly, I think poal is competing directly with Gab. I see the same info on both sites, but poal is a forum format vs the social media format of Gab.
