I remember a post on voat about a software program that could be used to customise every single users experience. It was described as sandboxing users to separate them and control what information they see.

I'm finding the quality of info and dialogue at poal way down on voat...way more disinformation. I don't believe so many goats didn't migrate. I think this is a frog in boiling water culture shift that's being imposed upon us. Is this our little matrix? Look at current events, no way voat shutdown was a coincidence This is our little multicultural infiltration and we are expected to sit as the heat is turned up because we write it off on the change of host..

I also find Poal users are posting more disinformation then on voat. And the sources that get posted here are always screen shots from Twitter or random people opinions on YouTube.

If you even posted a video from YouTube on voat you were called out for it. And then a bot would post the hooktube version.

Same with Twitter, there was nitter.

And putt never moved submissions from defaults to some obscure containment sub that nobody uses while claiming the original was in the "wrong sub."

Yes, I have been banished to Satire, even for stuff that is obviously humor and not satire. Funny is one of the default pages, satire is not.

Satire is a form of humor.

Then you weren't on voat a lot. There was a lot more disinfo stuff there, usually Q related. It just seems worse here because there are less people submitting other material and the whole election has made some people go a little crazy with their theories.

Telling someone that there was no plan to trust is like telling a redditor that there are only two genders. Their cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics go into overdrive.

Edit: And I agree, enough with the twitter links/screen shots.

Yes and no. The disinformation was there, but it didn't make it to the top as much. I think the downvote culture here plays a part

you nailed it bc never on Voat would the bs rise to the top. On Voat, I knew that I was disseminating quality "news;" but here on Poal, I've had to retract more than once. It sucks.

You weren't viewing v/all then. Or blocking some subs. Or perhaps the sandbox thing is right even on specific sites.

I will chime in with another agreement -- too many twitter posts. We need to destroy twitter, not support it.

In voat you had to subscribe to subverses in here you need to block subverses because you are already subscribed to all of them.

Yes, MUCH more (((disinfo))) here than on Voat

I didn't see much point to the hooktube links, how much better could it be privacy-wise when it loads the same embedded video player from youtube and barely proxies anything?

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

The point is to not participate with Google. I'm surprised i have to explain this.

Did you read my post? It's the same fucking player coming from the exact same Google servers, what does it really do? fetch the comments 20% of the time?

took me 1 minute to confirm it has been useless since forever:

As of July 2018, Hooktube no longer functions as it did before, and is now only a lightweight YouTube.

"☀July 16: YouTube api features are back but mp4 <video> is replaced with the standard YT video embed. HookTube is now effectively just a light-weight version of youtube and useless to the 90% of you primarily concerned with denying Google data and seeing videos blocked by your governments."
