we would love some official statements in announcements on this. tell us about problems, ask us to donate. seperate voat-costs and your "coffee" costs :)

also,

can you say something regarding this new shadowboxing feature where users can create little safe space bubbles for themselves?

many users have expressed that they don't like it, and that it means "have your say even if no one can hear you"

Galvanized_Dreamer

Shoes with teeth, monsters that eat toys... Yeah, sounds about right.

ginx2666

You don't need to infiltrate public site to harvest its content. All you need is a crawler.

antiplebbitor

Better to live one day as a lion than even ten thousand years as a sheep.

REST IN PEPPERONI, TAY

antiplebbitor

@Cynabuns is a piece of shit.

@Atko and @Puttitout are not to be trusted.

@Needlestack is the only trustworthy user here.

Cynabuns

@Needlestack is indeed a great Voater

antiplebbitor

She is the best - would rail; 10,000,000/10

Cynabuns

+10,000,000 agreement

Even if you do think I'm a piece of shit

antiplebbitor

No offense, brew. You're just not trustworthy enough to be granted this much power. No one is. Especially not @atko / @puttitout . Clearly.

$-$-$-$-$-$-$HILLIN' AIN'T EASY, RIGHT??

Cynabuns

No offense taken, brah. This is just a test to see if this new L3/Janitor gig is viable deal. Not sure if you give two shits or no, but with the little attention that's been paid deleting the spam in the three default-test-subs so far, it seems like there's been a decrease in the spam hitting the subs.

Alias_Unknown

I've found myself gradually using Voat less lately.

There's rarely anything new or worthwhile anymore. It's just the same circle jerks day after day.

antiplebbitor

I confirm. Voat is now totally boring.

peacegnome

There really needs to be a x-post notifier, people want specific content, but all the content goes to the main subs. Sure, it gets x-posted, but where are people supposed to see that?

Alias_Unknown

The trouble is people want all that SCP that comes with posting in a main sub.

You an get 100+ votes from v/whatever or maybe 7 votes from v/relevantsubverse .

I try and post to smaller subs to give them exposure on v/all/new . I've even made a game out of it called random roulette.

peacegnome

i don't think it is scp greed. I think it is simply that there isn't an easy way to see xposts. on reddit i could go to /r/politics (this is hypothetical now, don't get carried away) and see some story of interest. When i go into the comments i'm blown away by how shitty everything is, but i can click "related discussions" or whatever and see that it had also been posted to a sub that isn't crappy. So now i go there and join in on the discussion. in most trump threads there is someone lamenting that when they regurgitate what the rulers say about trump they get dogpiled. Those users could go to /v/antitrump through related discussions and talk to other people about how much they hate trump.

Alias_Unknown

Huh, I don't think I ever used that feature back when I was on reddit.

It does sound like it could be useful.

HenryDavidThoreau

This has been painfully obvious for quite some time.

superesper

Well shit buddy, thanks for making a post about it. Did you like Radiohead before they were cool too?

hehe

DeltaBravoTango

Easy to make a bot to find the words, harder to make one that can figure out the meaning.

amnotabot

If this is a large honey trap....

Maybe it is not a bad thing..?

This is not the only site you post on. Look, they have your IP etc by now.

From sites like this they will be able to judge and make a value judgement off the opinions posted here.

Without sites like this, and only sites (like that other site) that likes pictures of kittens and fat people, how would the people in charge be able to judge your numbers and opinions?

GizaDog

Hard to say coming from a 1 month users of the site.

superesper

I've been around for like 1.8 years. I've made different accounts several times.

Alias_Unknown

Comrade?

Tallest_Skil

No one who is legitimate says that.

Atarian

It's a goon meme you faggot.

Tallest_Skil

No. One. Who. Is. Legitimate. Says. That.

Atarian

It's. A. Goon. Meme. You. Faggot.

Tallest_Skil

NO. ONE. WHO. IS. LEGITIMATE. SAYS. THAT. YOU. ILLITERATE. PILE. OF. SHIT. We’re on the same fucking side, you stupid bitch.

SaneGoatiSwear

everything's good on voat. don't worry.

also,

everyone knows every bit that goes through the u.s. cables (and more) are gobbled up and saved to drives by the nsa. ALL data.

again, voat's on the up and up.

Voopin__Voopin

what did I miss? I was really trying to keep up with the developments.

SaneGoatiSwear

nothing. everything's all good! voat's on the up and up. canary is solid now (hopefully putt will keep it the new one permanently), voat is still voat, our devs are still our devs.

SilentSmoker

You are an AI bot. Stop copying Amaleks speech patterns and writing format. You're emulating me.

Alias_Unknown

People would choke to death of they tried emulating you. You have a super human ability to suck cock.

Karys

Everybody seems to be forgetting that voat runs on CloudFlare, which is almost certainly a honeypot

BenAhavah

I've been thinking about this as well, especially since I've also been thinking that Anonymous might be some agencies brainchild. If we could Voat for the mods of each community that might help modding problems. Some sort of system would have to be developed to ensure that a human has taken the test. Make it a long process of voating. I HIGHLY suggest Ethics questions from the Ultima Universe. They test your ethics rather than morality. Each community could have their own mod voating system or it could be based on one standard depending on which school of thought you wanted, like a seal of approval.

If there was a physical voat hq, we could be sending in pictures we drew as part of our ballots.

Those that voat are create a new metric that we should need to see if our standard is set. I'll create a standard if you like. I love wisdom a lot, more than the average man should. I also want to help humanity with wisdom as best as possible. Did you know about this? http://opensourceecology.org/

Wisdom is the most powerful tool at mankinds disposal.

There are many ways to get it, but some have distilled wisdom into its most powerful form. It is was lead to the allowance of a hierarchy of man. Why do we allow certain ones or things to tell us what to do?

I am sure the Jews will be fine no matter what happens to them, we share the same God, the same Torah, but they do want not me. If it learned only online, nothing can be trusted in a filter bubble. So I went to the synagogues in this most powerful jewel of the world. Each one had no talk of Justice, of Love for mankind. They treated me like a stranger, they treated the Torah even worse. The same voice of chaos in the synagogues was in the churches, in the markets, in the halls of government. Fear was their God. Amalek had inadvertedly come back to life, by showing evidence that makes everything Moshe had done for what they had. The truest evidence is the irrational fear that people have with Israel being the end times. As a philosopher, I love eschatology because it can be some of the best bullshit towards freedom metaphors can offer.

I have no connection to link above, I just wanted to see if anyones seen that.

JustSayNo

The response pushed me off the fence toward the position that the site has probably been taken over and is being used for some kind of unstated purpose.

Follow the money. Voat had some money problems, now no more??? They have received funds from some agenda.

REALJOHNCENA69

That's a forced CTR meme, friend. 100% astroturfed, totally unnatural.

Sciency

I was lead to understand that /pol/ started that as a fuck you to google's anti hate speech censorship program, in an effort to make google either back off, or censor their own brand name.

REALJOHNCENA69

I suppose you could say that, but there was threads on the front page 24 hours a day for probably 3 or 4 days, it seemed forced to me, I could be wrong though.

AlphaWookie

OP is a faggot

logitechg502

Psycho Jew haters and actual racists are the problem. Take your asses back to Stormfront.

REALJOHNCENA69

Kek, nice one CTR.

logitechg502

You're a cliché, walking wannabe meme-spouter, come back when you can form an argument.

Lag-wagon

Same

auggs

And I feel like link titles have become more click-baity in the last few weeks. Just an interesting thing to note.

Citizen

For a vastly oversimplified example:

"Men are dumb" is deconstructive and exclusive.

"Men can become better by..." is constructive and exclusive.

"People are dumb" is deconstructive and inclusive.

"People can become better by..." is constructive and inclusive.

While some exclusive or deconstructive argument is healthy and worthwhile, when it begins to dominate the conversation, it's a problem.

reivin

...when it begins to dominate the conversation, it's a problem.

It's a problem by who's standards, yours? People involved in a conversation can decide what is problematic speech for themselves during active dialogue and act as they see fit, or simply disengage and move on.

SilverBanana

Yeah, there is almost no real discussion on voat anymore. Mostly people are repeating the stances already accepted by the community.

smokratez

I enjoy some heavy banter every now and then. Who are you to decide what is "healthy" or not for other users?

Black_Phillip

Are you HK-47?

fagnig

congratulations

fagnig

if @highly_paid_orgy_pro was a bot, where would it train to become such a convincing bot?

seriously what forum has such extensive perversion that an AI based on it could leverage such casual depravity as to be a winning slutbot of commanding persuasion as an actual IRL orgy organizer?

Viropher

Distorted View Daily,proudly presents.....

Alias_Unknown

Fetlife?

aileron_ron

Well I guess the FBI,CIA,NSA is about to send me to gitmo.

fagnig

The latest and most pervasive gitmo, is the gitmo of the mind.

Citizen

"Voat may be serving as a data mining program collecting speech patterns used by wrongthinkers."

You wouldn't need the cooperation of the admins to do something like that. It doesn't sound right to me.

I'd guess that it started as a hobby for Atko. Atko being a strong believer in freedom of speech allowed "hate speech", but the discord overwhelmed the accord. Maybe he's a bit disappointed or embarrassed by what it's become. There is a lot of deconstructive and exclusive conversation as opposed to inclusive and constructive conversation.

senpaithatignoresyou

I'd argue that he has more important things to do. I do not see this site paying the bills.

I have started applying Occam's razor to a lot of conspiracies, and usually money is the reason why something gets shut down.

I don't see how this site pays his bills, and i don't think that he has rich parents, so chances are real good that he is having some monetary issues.

Look at reddit, that site can not exist unless it gets money from the establishment. This type of site is not a good business model, otherwise Google or apple would have started their own.

fagnig

Yes, but what is it deconstructive of? The nu-rights deconstructive dialectic on neo-leftist hegemony is a healthy counter to the conde-nasty redditocracy. Why would Atko be embarrassed at a revolutionary struggle for the american mind?

the-gerbil-in-my-bum

same reasons mootles was?

fagnig

the swiss aint as hip as new yorkers

fagnig

Its worse than you think, its mostly a website of replayed threads recycled from reddit, chans and other forums, and there are very very few original commentors at any one time, and every thread is different, the people you will be mixed in with regardless of usernames are all just a limited number of live subjects being tested, and topped up with/spanned by a cast of regular "glue" actors.

Its not only a site for collecting an assembly of wrongthink for future simulations, it is a site for scripting you into a new role befitting their plan.

smokratez

I insult someone new on a daily basis though.

fagnig

Yes, but are they true newbies or procedurally generated flora and fauna?

smokratez

There are new ones and those that hold a grudge from months back. I highly doubt I am talking to bots here.

smokratez

Apparently it was time for someone to down vote all my posts again. What is the fun in that? They are too dumb to make a witty post and can only click the mouse?

fagnig

malcontents

smokratez

There is literally every day some cunt that comes on with the simple minded idea of "time to down vote all the new Smokratez posts". What does he think that accomplishes, other than waste his own time and show how petty he is. I've probably forgotten who he is and why he is butt mad anyways.

smokratez

That's too simple though. Not original either. That's admitting you are defeated.

fagnig

I was told you like cabbages, beyond that /shrug

smokratez

I love cabbages. They are cheap, healthy and delicious. I eat at least one every week.

fagnig

Cant beat a good savoy

armday2day

How hard is it to create a bot that looks for the word "nigger" and "kike" on the web?

ex-redd

THE MOTHERFUCKING SKY IS FALLING

FireForEffect

Plausible. Certainly wouldn't surprise me.

leavethebag

Same here. Never get to comfortable. That's when bad thing happen.
