Well it would be logical to gather all the free-speech wanting people in one place.

Consider this: there's no easy way to be anonymous on voat. Captcha won't show on random IP browser tools.

Also, ATKO has said they will completely dox you to ANY GOV'T OFFICIAL who asks for the info, whether they think a crime has been committed or not.

Regarding questionable content by Atko in announcements [–]QuestionEverything 3 points (+5|-2) 27 days ago Did I just read this correctly?

"We can't tell if it is illegal or not, so we will censor it pre-emptively, -and/or if anyone complains."

ALSO - "questionable content (illegal or not) posters will have user their identity information collected and forwarded to any authority that requests it.. "

Fuck that. I don't support jailbait fetish weirdo's. But I support the law. Free speech protects assholes like Larry Flynt. Voat just became a fucking social justice warrior site (SJW site, really?! We just left that shit) .

TL:DR: Voat has decided to fight something they plainly admit they can't even distinguish. -So they will censor pre-emptively in the name of preserving a site which was supposed to enable free speech by eliminating censorship.

btw: Your donation well just dried up. Who the fuck is going to donate now?

Voat fucked itself. But I'm waiting to see if this clears itself up. We need to move to cloud based architecture, self scaling, with a board of directors that can't fuck with the underlying system.

Frizbee.co is looking better though. They are tackling the same issues.

No- but there would have to be substantial evidence towards the claim.

I definitely would, in fact maybe more so..

MY first thought would be that we are moving forward, because Reddit is non viable and as I stated, the time between this and the next 'Voat' will be exponentially smaller.

So I've already had multiple posts deleted, but Voat is far ahead of Reddit, and the new versions will improve on Voat, so it's a process.

The whole 'NSA' privacy vector is mostly distraction all the Govcorp wants to do is censor they NEED to stop certain information because it's literally breaking apart the soviet style central "economy"

Sure... that's better than being a Tavistock project like godlikeproductions. The NSA already gathers anything I put on the web. I don't like it, but it won't stop me from saying my piece.

Interesting thought. Would be a way for Atko to get more funding...

My profile is already public, so I post/comment with that in mind.

i think if your credit cards have been matched to your google searches you're already fucked.

Edit: yes I'd still come here. I'm really just here to watch the rise and eventually the fall of a social phenomenon.

Probably? As long as I don't post any personal/identifiable information, the data they'd get from here wouldn't be any different from all the other data they're constantly mining.
