I swear, all the witty people with a sense of humor have left. Everything is supposed to be ever so serious and making any kind of joke is just ignored at best, or downvoted. Small minded idiots just run amok there; I guess those are "builders"!

For some fagtarded reason I keep trying, but it's just hardly fun anymore there. It's getting to the point where I just feel openly hostile in every thread I participate in there now. Maybe it's just me, but I think that poal has made me expect better or something.

Maybe it's just me. Idunno.

I should do a broader writeup about this.

A big part of Voat's problem is that they're dealing primarily with Reddit Refugees. Let me clarify. Reddit has plenty of cool people. Plenty of cool people quit Reddit because they don't like the vibe of the place.

In addition to the above two groups of people, Voat has become overwhelmed with people who would cheerfully use Reddit if they could, but they have impulse control problems that are so bad that they're unable to restrain their use of profanity, homoerotic humor and racist vitriol enough to move past Reddit's considerably tolerant censors.

These are the people that are mucking up Voat. You're dealing not only with the filth of their day-to-day personalities, but they live in morbid fear that if they let too many "normies" into Voat, then the normies are going to take over.

Which is exactly what would happen. On top of that these idiots have an inferiority complex, so if you have something going for you they hate you off the bat. Civility is a threat to them.

I think that the current situation suits us fine. Voat is an overflow tank from Reddit, and Poal is an overflow tank from the overflow tank.

judging by the overall attitude here i'd say we are the more levelheaded of the bunch. but i have only been here a day so only time will tell if this site suffers from the same idiocy that Voat does.

That seems to sum it all up nicely.

Don't worry. In time this place will be the same. A lot of their trash already comes through here. I come across it every day.

Free speech platforms are a sham, because by holding the door open you let in every one.

[–] • 1 pt

I agree 100%. All free speech sites start out well enough, but the very nature of being free speech for all eventually leads to free speech for none, because those we all strive to escape find us in the end. Does that make sense - LOL

Some people just take the internet too seriously.

Way, way too many. Great point.

And shit, I was totally one of those for a second there. I am shame.

Well there is always a common denominator. You sound pretty uptight yourself, lighten up mack.

Thanks, I needed that.

I hate it when I start taking shit too seriously again.

Everything is supposed to be ever so serious and making any kind of joke is just ignored at best, or downvoted.

That's probably due to a combination of their echo chamber and people who like and/or are pretty paid to ruin online discussion. I used to be pretty into Voat, but it became hard to enjoy.

Congenial idiots hide behind cat videos and humor. reddit being the prime example. We have literal pedophile rings and traffickers being arrested and the media refuses to report on it. God forbid a place be zealous in wanting to focus on real events. They are a bunch of black and white pricks who are tired of horse shit.

It's not just you. That's exactly why I left

[–] • 1 pt

Thanks for that!

But I was taking it all just too seriously. I forgot that my original mission was shitposting and giving retards a hard time.

But it's still good enough justification to give up on that cesspool, if that's not your thing.

I lurk from time to time just to make sure I don't miss anything good, but have abandoned any hope of having a productive conversation there. I would get upvotes but only combative comments, which is the opposite of what I wanted. Oh well

Maybe also you are sort of being "re-sensitized", having your attention split other places now. You know like "objects in mirror were actually bigger faggots than they appeared" for a while.

I assure you they, many there, were already massive retards the whole time.

I know a bunch of people are in fact here mostly now, who at least I thought were fun.
