I hope voat doesn't die, I like having poal as a smaller alternative that's free of spam and tard-drama. If voat dies this place will go downhill.
Goats said the same thing when reddit went full SJW and we all piled into Voat. After a thorough hazing, we were grudgingly welcomed. I like Voat, but I know it will be Jewed into silence sooner or later - just like any free speech platform.
And Voat did go to shit. @Astfgl is spot-on about that assessment. Their highly vaunted immune system developed an auto-immune disease, driving off most good users that posted unique content who were there before the hazers signed up. Now it's become cesspit made up of larping trolls, dramatic morons, a dumping grounds for Qult, and some good users who haven't found a better free speech alternative.
Kind of like what's happening at saidit, the admins have such a tight reign they drive people away
I'm not sure I agree with you entirely.
Voat went to shit because the owner doesn't know to, can't be bothered with, or got into so much trouble for, managing the site.
If voat didn't keep going down, it would be OK.
>free of spam and tard-drama
This right here, the sub drama is incredibly annoying. Ive been on Voat for 4+ years, i think i have logged out for the last time.
This place is a breath of fresh air.
The only drama there that doesn't bug me is mumbleberry shitting on spammers. That entertains me pretty hard. I miss kareemulla and crew sometimes just because of all the lols I got.
At least poal has some systems in place to prevent assfuckery to a certain extent. The transparent voting should help a lot.
Oh it does. Isn't that right @goatsandbros? Hahahaha!
Agreed. There is no ability to have discussions on Voat. The people there are way too hostile. Even though I mostly agree with their views, it becomes pointless when it becomes an echo chamber.
Agree. Some of the juveniles are already here. They haven't figured out the culture here is different.
