We've heard this before from Voat about shutting down, but if it really does this time, there may well be a huge refugee surge here. There is always a worry about changing the culture with too many newcomers. Lots of negative myths about Poal there on Voat. They seem to think that this isn't a free speech site.

On Voat, I never downvoated because it was abused (disagree button). That may well be the most difficult part of assimilation for refugee goats. Be easy on them, they'll be adjusting. Many of them are good people.

So far seems like a little less venting of rage and a bit more constructive debate here.

That is naturally the case with smaller populations. Give it time.

It’s about to be a bit less small, Considering the circumstances and the fact that a lot of the other sites are kind of tarded. This was the first “clone” of voat IIRC.

Yes, that was kind of my point. By "give it time" I mean this population won't always be as small as it is now, especially with Voat's imminent closure, and so the ratio of constructive debate to venting rage is likely to get smaller.

That's my estimation.

Not being accused of being a kike every ten seconds sounds nice actually.

Pretty sure you're a kike for saying that. ;-)

What you don't like being immediately called a fed shill and followed around the site because you disagreed with someone?

[–] • 0 pt

That's exactly what a dirty fed shill would say. For that, I'm gonna follow you around the site.

Made the name 5.5 years ago, just kept it. I was laughing while browsing voat and then I saw a daibo across the room leaning in the corner. You’re the first person I ever told that to, too.
