From a goat's perspective, probably the chief difference is not using the downvote button to disagree. On a more subtle cultural difference, people here are generally more polite (yes you can say nigger nigger nigger kike cuck blah blah if you want to, but far fewer people are just openly hostile for no reason)
You mean you don't randomly accuse each other of being "glowniggers" and jews any time you disagree? Pssht, why am I even here.
Sounds like something a glownigger would say ;-)
GOLD
Dammit!
Bonus points for white people in commercial
t. Jew
I THINK YOU BOTH ARE GLOWNIGGER JEWS.
Whew! Got that out of my system. I mean, in Clown World a man sometimes has to call someone a glownigger jew at least once a day, don't take it personally unless, well, you actually ARE a glownigger jew or a jew glownigger.
Anyhow, 2021 will be an interesting year and not in a good way....
I'll try not to let it get to me 🤣
Lets be honest thats any right wing site in a nutshell. Two massive anti-semites accusing each other of being Jews. Gab was really bad for it back in the day.
Its the one thing the right suffers from that really looks autistic.
Nah, that’s the boomoid migrants. Honestly the people who know the most about the JQ tend to call people “kikes” the least. The problem was the boomoids who would get into any disagreement and then just spam “kike shill.” Same thing happened to /pol/, just geriatrics thinking it was a trump board and any critique of trump or capitalism got you called a commie kike shill.
I think it's more of a bonding ritual tbh.
Fuck this gay shit, I want to get verbally deepthroated the moment I deviate from the party line.
What the fuck is life worth if you’re not being bodydived by flat earthers the moment you dare refer to the Earth as a globe.
What is even the meaning of life without the figurative group stabbing the moment you dare suggest that the Grand Cabal didn’t cause the last cookie to fall behind the counter.
I need direction GOD DAMMIT!
Haha, you globetards are adorable
Okay rabbi...
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 :)
> It is my experience that the more someone posts, the less they are saying that is worthwhile.
That's right time leave then you've said enough bs already you condescending fuck
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
seems to be one for opening new subs on here. dunno what they are called.
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.
That's my estimation.
Not being accused of being a kike every ten seconds sounds nice actually.
What you don't like being immediately called a fed shill and followed around the site because you disagreed with someone?
That's exactly what a dirty fed shill would say. For that, I'm gonna follow you around the site.
Nice name there pal.
Thanks bud. Not my most original work.
Ok so nicer people overall and same free speak side. I could get use to that. I was never much of a poster just commented from time to time and kept up with news everyday. Thanks for quick reply.
I was sporadic with my posts but would always pay my dues when necessary.
Np bro
And no more like !!! 😁😁😂👍
I don't understand the downvote thing? I always had a lot more upvotes then downvotes on voat probably 10 to 1 or 10 to 2... I don't know what the big difference is.. I guess explain it like I'm a 5 year old.
Ok. The purpose of the downvoat button is to indicate that a post is spam, off topic, illegal. The purpose is not to indicate disagreement, or dislike of someone's posting. I you disagree, you can articulate why (best option) or just call them a niggerfaggot and move on. If the purpose of downvotes is to indicate that the posting shouldn't be read because it doesn't belong (spam/off topic/anything Aged might have posted on voat) then you do others a disservice by downvoating something simply because you disagree with it. That sort of behavior quickly turns a place into an echochamber.
Let's take voat as an example. Suppose I had said "I don't think people should call black people "the n word", and they're just as intelligent as us, I don't believe all this IQ nonsense." That view would have been downvoated to oblivion and many people might not have had a chance to see it let alone discuss or correct it. That's not much different than what contemporary reddit does (except those fag jannies also remove the posts). We're better than that. We can win the conversation with ideas and proof. While you and I almost certainly disagree with that, we can indicate that by citing sources of differences of IQ, using the word nigger, or just calling the OP a fag and moving on.
In this way, the downvote button has a discrete function, more elegant than "I don't like what you've said, but I'm too lazy do do anything about it but hit a button." Anyway, that's my take on it, but you may be better off asking the site owners (sorry for pinging you guys so much, I know you're busy) and
Hope that was eli5 enough.
That comment deserves its own post in
Makes sense what about a poll button to the side of the down vote agree disagree and neutral... do not show the results unless you want to see them.. this way it is easy for a poster to see holy shit every one thinks I'm a retard... so upvote for good comment then a poll agree disagree neutral?
Shit actually makes sense your name is poal for fuck sake. This should be a think I am new so I might not be able to suggest it but the synchronicity with name and all makes way to much sense
