It's in honor of joe biden so they made it a white predator.

I've always suspected Poal was a play on the 4chan site Pol combined with a nod to now-dead website Voat.

Voat. Miss it still. I was broken hearted when it was getting shit down. I remember being on it Christmas Eve saying bye to everyone

talk dot lol (at)system made oldVoat styling an option in settings I know it's not the same but... don't be a niggerfaggot about it.

Isn't the voat style exclusive if you signed up when it first came out with the voat name?

Also yeah it's not the same. It's more.... angry I guess? There's a lot less informed schizo posting and a fuckload more accusing everyone of being this or that. It's pretty tiring.

Sadly though, this place will never be as cool as voat was

I wish I knew how to design websites, I'd make one like voat except it's exclusively tens of thousands of aggressive, "mobilized" bots that talk about where they're meeting up and doing violence constantly so the FBI will spend all their effort looking for them all over the country.

That’s a legitimate tactic. I call it noise to signal ratio. Some privacy apps over the years have used such a tactic , random clicks everywhere randomly, extra data of some sort… it’s the impossible to filter out the signal from the noise rendering the data set useless. Since that is .0001 % of the data it simply gets ignored for other low hanging fruit.

There are plenty of ready-to-deploy forum packages. For example, a fork of the old reddit UI is available here: https://github.com/notabugio/notabug

You could also deploy Gnu Social or Pleroma for a twitter-like.

Granted, it's not just plug n play, you're going to need some know-how, but it can be done with pre-existing stuff.

I know, I mean it's up like 99.999% of the time and those servers generate heat. How will they ever cool off. Voat was super cool because a shut off processor, is a green processor that is generating no heat.

Voat was badass, but damn that site was unstable. Seemed like it was down every other day

Yea, it doesn't go offline. Not cool.

It was an offshoot from voat when it started getting questionable, legend says it was poal because it sounded like poll which is kinda like vote which is like voat.

[–] 2 pts

I figured it was a nod to Voat and /pol/

[–] 2 pts

Not so much pol, really just voat. We all lifeboated away from there and started here. There were other splinter offs too. Notabug.Io was similar intent but never got the traction.

Who fucking cares. Here we all are

Polar bears are white on the outside and something else beneath.

Polar bears have black skin.

This site is a nod to /pol. Nothing to do with voat.
