![some goats be like [474x644 - 272KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/L21tz7.png){kind=link}
Yeah i see some people getting rekt.
i really miss the downvotes because Im full of hate but also lazy and inarticulate about my hate.
I feel like the drama over the Sb tag is an overreaction since it is totally temporary. But there is a goat no longer with us, which does not make me laugh. RIP nukeisrael
why do they have downvotes [I keep writing "downvoats" from habbit] but can't actually use them? Is it like having the right to bear arms or freedom of speech but getting locked up put on a "watch list" when you put that to fundamental practice?

Like all absurd rules of this nature, the reason it exists is to assert power over you and train you into submission.
Like putting a treat on a dog's nose, and then telling it not to eat it. And wait. And wait. Not yet. Now you may eat it. Good dog.
You do it partly for your own amusement, and partly to make sure the dog knows who is boss. This helps train the dog to follow your orders without question. A welcome side-effect of which is that the dog will growl and become hostile against anyone who dares stand up to you henceforth.
"How dare this stranger question my master's rules," the dog might think, if dogs thought of such things, "when I am such a good boy and always follow my orders and do as I'm told!"
Imposing absurd and nonsensical rules, and getting your subjects to quarrel among each other over them, is the bread and butter of subjugating people. Being forced to pretend that things you know to be false are true, and things you know to be true are false, and to play along with the charade, for fear of being attacked or sold out by your peers, is extremely humiliating and demoralizing. Takes the fight right out of people. Many even convince themselves to double down and become extra loyal subjects just to cope with it. Because most would rather be the submissive good dog, than be beaten and left out in the cold. Even though out in the cold is the only place they might have found freedom.
Commie's love this tactic. As do bullies and tyrants of all shapes and sizes.
It's some Adam and Eve shit. "Here's the Downvote of Knowledge, but don't you use it!" It's there to tempt you.
"the downvote is for spam"
Okay, then just make a report spam button and move it away from the upvote button. Then fagmin links to the report spam button. Really?
I think its sort of like that.
You can theoretical downvoat but you shouldn’t actually try it.
we implemented a number of features to combat what we saw as Putt's failings at voat
so... we're not especially inclined to change them
because they work... been at it for nearly 3 years now
I respect the decision to make certain choices to more actively manage certain problems. I did not see everything they (you?) see running the website. I just feel that whatever the story was with NI, it didn’t have to go that way.
You guys have been overrun with goats. There are bound to be some growing pains. Occassionally there are some very bad actors that one has to deal with. I did not find him to be one of them.
no clue what user you're talking about
don't bother to explain either
"no offense"
Voat worked it was Putt who was just looking for an excuse to drop the site
voat worked
it literally would go out for days at a time
Are you one of the fagmin? Sorry, can't keep up with who's a faggot and who's not.
yes, and you should downvote me some more so I lose admin status like @Walkfuckinwhite did
Then stop being a lazy nigger and use your cranium to disperse the anger properly.
Maybe your anger is misplaced and you’re wrong about your way of thinking.
Maybe you can grow into a smarter human by having to think instead of push a dopamine button like a lab rat.
>Then stop being a lazy nigger and use your cranium to disperse the anger properly.
Rhetorical flourish for lols. Im actually am pretty articulate about my hate. I guess your not familiar with my work. But you can be.
>Maybe your anger is misplaced and you’re wrong about your way of thinking.
That is not possible
>Maybe you can grow into a smarter human by having to think instead of push a dopamine button like a lab rat.
I am a smarter human who also enjoys my dopamine.
What happened he just quit? He'll be back surely.
He was banned for shenanigans. Maybe he’ll be back but not on that account.
