After being ejected into the void when Putt pulled the plug on Voat and becoming yet another nationless refugee I've been struggling to adapt to my new surroundings.

I am grateful to my hosts here at Poal. You guys have been welcoming, and even the content is not that bad. But there is something missing and I just can't put my finger on it. What it is isn't minor either, I feel my whole experience is diminished, but I just can't define what it is. I've also tried the other alternatives and they're even worse. The discord for example, it would seem people have already given up.

If anyone has felt this and managed to define it I'd be curious what you call it.

History. Plain and simple. You had a history, a culture, a story and familiarity there. If you're honest, this site - with the exception of a few differences in rules (such as the downvote button) - is not that far from what you had at Voat. That shouldn't be surprising: it was created by people who'd left Voat.

Imagine you lived in a house where each room was the same. Your little brother looks up to you, and so he tries to decorate his room like yours. He even gets pretty close. One day the house catches fire. They manage to save the house, but your room was lost. Your parents tell you that, until further notice, you're going to be sharing a room with your little brother.

That's what is happening here. You had a history in your room. On some of those really bad nights, you spent that time in your room, with your things and your memories. Plus there were the really good nights, when you'd still wind up in your room.

It's never going to be the same, even if you had your room rebuilt. It's not the same room anymore. The old one is gone, and you've got to give it time. You had how many years in your old room? 3-6 years for a lot of us. You've been here 4 days. The real difference is that you didn't go into your old room with expectations. It simply became what it was going to become. Now, you've gone into your little brother's room with the mind full of expectations that 3-6 years in your old spot imprinted on you.

1 year from today, if you continue to use this site, I guarantee you'll feel very different. That's still just 1 year. Imagine 4 or 5. Don't expect a miracle, and you won't be disappointed.

You can call a Jew a kike here, you can call a nigger a nigger, you can deny the Holocaust. Go try it at Reddit, otherwise this is the best bet.

Thanks Chiro, this actually makes me feel a little better. You're probably right. I'll get used to it, but it will take time.

As far as the downvoat button goes, I already was using it the way it works here. That is one thing I really like about this site.

I guess being able to call you all niggerfaggots will make it feel homeish enough.

Your last paragraph is why voat and poal were made. Free speech doesn't exist on reddit.. unless you speak like someone who would run a communist/marxist/jew, LGBTQA+SJW, b.urn l.oot m.urder or antiwaah gathering. The far leftists despise White people which is why all of the above are who target us. So aka 99% of reddit admin and mods.

A post from Chiro, I already feel at home, lol.

It's a new home, but I still call the top bunk, faggot. We're currently trying to distribute walkie talkies so we can talk after admins make us go to bed.

Thanks for the shoutout, fella.

Anytime, I can usually tell your posts well before I read the username.

I can get us all prepaid phones but you might have to store it in your asshole when the jannies come around.

Sure, and normally that's good, but Voat's dead.

So you can keep crying about it, or you can start hitting on her younger sister who has smaller boobs but a better ass.

A good ass is underrated, and small tits aren't all bad either.

Voat's younger sister is 12 years old you fucking pedo!

It does sort of feel like that, yeah. Not quite, but almost. More like a divorce.

It aint bad here. honestly even if voat opened again, I would still come here also.

honestly voat was a shithole managed by a lazy piece of shit

Well he was running it with no revenue coming in. I think it was awesome. Yea it used to go up and down like a $5 hooker but hey it was what it was and I enjoyed the site

[–] 1 pt

In all honesty, I don't buy the lack of revenue excuse. If that was the case he would have found other means and would have let the community know well in advance of the cash flow problems.

The fact that Putt didn't shows he didn't care and the death of voat was planned or forced

no revenue? last i heard he made out with 2 million in bitcoin

Are we still goats, or are we polar bears now?

We will always be goats at heart. Voat was a magical place. If we're here, I guess we are poaler bears now.

It was never going to be the same, it was always going to be tough at first. The goal is not to create Voat 2.0 I guess, rather, hopefully in time make Poal into something that is as enjoyable as Voat was

plus you can hide all the posts of spam niggerkikes

Yeah, I feel the same. Like having to start over in life, from scratch, because some liberal chopped your head off. by accident, they said, though negligence was more likely. So they didn't have to pay for the damages (said "I'm sorry").

You mean (((liberal)))?

Is that liberal inside of an anus? What is that?

...and said that it was to honor Christ, with the noon time being significant of the 12 disciples.

Alright Putt, you really ought to have waited for Good Friday then, no?

Yeah, that just hurt. One of my last posts on Voat was of the cover from Dr Seuss's Grinch who stole Christmas.

[–] 1 pt

No, it isn't the same and wasn't supposed to be the same. It's the change you feel. Voat going away sucks but poal is the best right now so there is no choice if content and free speech are important. Not even sure if voat was better or worse in some areas but voat is what we know. We will learn poal and it will get better. Hang in there.

I hope so. And yet there may be hope. It has come to my attention that something is in the works. I was in a chat earlier with many familiar names. There is serious brainstorming and acting on going on as I type these lines to you. Urgency was the word of the day, urgency without haste.

It's not all bad, I had a chuckle at the UK and added a book to my reading list.

I believe someone back on voat put it best regarding the discord "How to get doxxed by trannies in 5 minutes or less."
