I took a bit to think about this a little more. Every one of us that bent a knee to Putt are in part to blame for help keeping this Q op going. Against our better judgment, we allowed it to happen in hopes of gaining a larger voice by allowing voat a way to grow. We all see what came of.
It's about time that we say that quarter is given no more. Don't also forget that the Q folks were fine and happy in their playpen here but have been nudged outside of multiple times. To the point of where q users were driven to abandoning all together or where flat out banned when they continued to stay in their pen. Who knows the exact reason why but some have shown their true colors because of.
Fuck censorship, fuck subversion and fuck anyone supporting it but, and it's a hard one, it's about damn time that the Q subs be closed.
QStorm is open to everyone. Free speech is encouraged. The AntiQ brigade has harassed these subs in numerous fly-bys over the past year. I think the Q people have done a good job of keeping Q related content there.
I think anons from VOAT /v/GreatAwakening and many others stuck with QStorm and QPatriots because it was "ours". Crensch (owner/mod) did encouraged those anons not to wander around POAL so most stayed within the confines of these two subverses.
I wandered out about a year ago, posting alt-news breaking news articles, a few memes, opinions, videos, etc like everyone else... all non-Q related ... while using QStorm for any Q related content. The antiQ brigade would fly through and muddy up the QStorm post comments, we endured just fine and didn't complain. We've been through much worse from the shills and glowniggers on VOAT.
Now, when posting outside of QStorm, certain antiQ members of POAL purposefully shill some of my posts and comments, especially if they have a difference of opinion. I used to always let it roll off, I have thick skin. I've never blocked anyone on POAL, I read it all. It has intensified this month so I took on the shills and debated them head on. I feel that I've won those debates, I maintained a lev head, used facts with receipts, I refrain from foul language. I was called everything under the sun, I was debated with opinion, not fact, I deconstructed and exposed the facts used against my argument to be false ... and I always acknowledged any valid points by my opponent. The AntiQ brigade has been unsuccessful and they are madder than hell. I would love to debate their AntiQ bullshit on but they will ban me the second I comment there. They are curtailing my free speech.
If you eliminate QStorm, you will push Q content into other subs. The AntiQ Brigade will have conniptions, the Q people will not be happy either. The QStorm sub has slowed down tremendously since Q is posting so infrequently. Minimal resources to maintain it.
When I first joined POAL, there were maybe a couple of dozen users here. It was a ghost town. That was around 2018-2019 I think. POAL was to be used as a backup when VOAT was down. Then VOAT closed up shop in Dec 2020, I had to get my account reset here because I forgot my password, hence it looks like I've only been here 2 years.
I don't agree with shutting down QStorm. I don't agree with subs that don't allow free speech.
