Super-Script

Voat has already been infiltrated. Long before the blackout which led to a user influx. The opposition registered accounts and set up shop here.

dnekuen

Wouldn't surprise me.

Tacklebox

Well, look on the bright side: there's only 14 18 of them.

SJWs are seldom quarantined for long. This is why many self-proclaimed moderates eventually end up being faced with two choices: Pander to them, or oppose them directly. You are either for their interpretation of 'social justice', or you aren't. I know what side I've chosen. You can't always run away, you must defy them wherever you go.

Well done @Atko this was the best idea

Gigan

I made /v/askvoaters as an alternative to askvoat if that one becomes an SJW haven. I can't stand SJW attitudes and really value free speech, so no censorship there!

I find it interesting that the OP has the word Gator in his name, since that's what Gamerghazi uses as a slur towards people sympathetic to the Gamergate movement. Other than that, if this is gonna happen, then it's nice we have a sub for it.

Edit: Crossed out something that was clearly not correct. I stand very corrected.

My name is a reference to the move the other guys and I've had it since a little after the movie came out several years ago.

PiercingAjarDolphin

Ah, it's truly depressing times we live in when a person such as myself get this paranoid. Oh well, I'm glad to be proven wrong in that case.

gatordontplaythatsht

It's cool.

Djongo

I was a redditor that came over to voat as soon as I knew it was a thing, but could you explain exactly what's going on? I hear people talking about how the site is being censored, how so, by who, why? I'd love to help keep voat awesome, but I honestly don't know what I'm looking for.

gatordontplaythatsht

It would be exceptionally hard to give you the full run down of the situation as it stands. I'd encourage perusing /r/subredditcancer and then coming here and checking out /v/reportsrs and coming to your own conclusions.

Djongo

Can you give me a cliffs notes? Haha. I mean I'm going to read the suggested material now I just feel out of the loop and I REALLY want to help keep this site not shitty.

gatordontplaythatsht

I'm trying, thanks for the support!

gatordontplaythatsht

True, just notating and sharing all of that info would be time consuming, something I personally cannot commit to.

Sylos

I wouldn't doubt it. They all saw the same website we did.

gatordontplaythatsht

I've considered adding a trending removals (controversial ones) post on my sub. I just don't have the manpower or time to track them all, and unfortunately /v/undelete cannot be trusted. I'd encourage anyone willing and with the time to do this, and I would happily share the info on my sub.

vanities

... Not trying to be a dick, but do you have evidence?

explorevoat

look at the sticky in /v/historyporn for an example

absolute proof - if you want there is a lot more info behind this story if it seems complex - it was a month long odyssey that was exhausting and soul crushing - the worst being how these people assign people to follow you around voat and try to find you off voat

gatordontplaythatsht

/v/reportsrs I have listed all suspected subs which you can feel free to visit yourself.

sneakybells

Can you be more specific. The most flagrant one I saw was about /v/shitvoaterssay .

epik-

sneakybells

Those links are just linking back to subverses not proof of abuse, unless I'm missing something.

Charlie_Prime

What does the acronym 'SRS' stand for?

gatordontplaythatsht

Shitredditsays, a sub created to shame users with dissenting opinions from their own. It spread all over reddit and they're users now have control over much of the site.

Charlie_Prime

Ah. Thank you.

gatordontplaythatsht

I wouldn't be surprised if they're using the same bots to list all of our users under their special racists, or women-haters lists.

FFX01

Voat's api is different, they would need to make new bots.

Kabuthunk

As long as they know the basics of the code, it can be easily tweaked to work here. It'd be ludicrous to think there's NOT already bots made for Voat.

FFX01

I'm sure there are already bots made for voat, but more than likely, they would have to re-write the bots. Wouldn't take more than a couple hours max.

Good thing feminists aren't computer science majors
