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.

I'm a longtime Voat user, and I hardly ever used the downvoat feature except in two cases: someone is being straight-up insulting, or obviously trolling. At Voat, nobody gave a fuck about the points. I'm not sure if that's different here...are there privileges for accruing points?

You are identified by the color of your username. Presently we are both niggers in poal world. Faggots that post a lot get red usernames. It is my experience that the more someone posts, the less they are saying that is worthwhile.

It harkens back to the power users of Reddit.

Brevity is the wit of soul. Besides, if you’re spending your whole day spamming either an international goat enthusiast forum or a mongolian throatsinging collective’s internet meeting place, you’ve probably not got a whole lot going for you, and thus not much worth listening to.

Oh, so a lot like politicians...I would agree :)

Look I caught one of those red verbose faggots, and as usual, he has nothing of worth to say. In fact it appears he has difficulty in expressing himself properly.

Downvotes are overrated, I would regularly shit on qtards in the q subs and my points would never go into the negative on a given day.

That's because only soyboys give a shit about internet points
