It's pretty bizzare, I didn't really have specific friends within the voat community, but I'll miss it all the same.

And yet, I will mourn its loss all the same. Poal may prove to be a fine surrogate, I hope to call it a new home, but I shall always remember the goat.

It just feels weird to miss a community that I could barely name specific active figures from.

I hopped on before the reddit migrations, by a little bit. Not by much. And by the time that the goat was slain, most of the names I recognized had disappeared. A few of them crept out at the end to say goodbye, but I was never as close to anyone there as I am to specific people in other communities. And yet, I will mourn its loss all the same.

It was a place that felt like the old internet. Back when shit was on small forums and no one gave a shit about anything.

It really feels like a digital version of that "The world you were born into is no more" meme.

Let's hope that Poal turns out to be the same sort of home. I would hate to see, as a comic from the early oughts put it, "the internet turn into a boring digital mall"

You may be right in that.

Maybe It'll turn out that all that changes are two letters in the URL, and what the name of the admins we're after with pitchforks and torches are. I hope so. But I still feel a sense of loss, y'know? Without more details, it feels bad how it all went down.
