Introducing my site - A new voat clone

submitted by system to announcements 4.2 yearsFeb 26, 2021 15:34:10 ago (+69/-0)     (announcements)

Hey guys. I think it's time to show you what I've been working on. When I heard the news that voat was going down I was kind of indifferent. Yeah it sucked, but I'll move on I thought. I guess we all kind of expected it... I assumed poal would become our new home and we all would go on our merry way continuing our fierce momentum. Unfortunately (at the time) that was not the case. Fortunately (now) that was not the case... because I built us a new voat! It's not perfect but I tried to imitate the look and feel we all know and love (dark mode only atm).

The name of the site actually isn't voat. The name is... Talk.Lol, because that's the domain. www.talk.lol. I discovered the domain about a year ago. Back then I was going to use it to create a dissenter-like web site where you could comment on other websites. I never launced it but ever since then I wanted to buy it. This was the perfect excuse to. So that will be the site's name. Talk.lol, I like it. But here's the catch. I also registered voat.xyz. Both domains will point to the same site, but each one will use their own logo, and might look a bit different. Talk.lol will not display content from subs marked NSFW. Voat.xyz does not filter nsfw content. Other differences might come in the future. But other than that they are identical and you can register on either one and it will work on both. The reason for setting things up this way is to make a clear distinction that this is a new site, under a new admin. Plus it takes the heat off in a way. So talk.lol is the site's main domain and is the name of the site in general, and voat.xyz is a portal to access talk.lol which displays content from subs marked nsfw and uses a 'voat skin'.

Some features are missing, like collapsing comments block features, and text format options and some others. These will come in time. I might not be aware of a certain feature missing, so feel free to let me know. You might also run into bugs, please report and I'll get it fixed. You can use /v/talkloldev or /v/voatdev. I will be going by a different username on my posting account, but haven't figured what that will be though. In the mean time I will use username admin or system.

I opted for a modest host. I have no idea how it will handle the load of traffic or our freespeech policy. This is an alpha launch so expect problems.

The rules are simple

1. No posting of illegal content.
2. No doxing members of the site
3. No spamming
4. No stealing people's old voat usernames.
5. Previous sub owners have the rights to sub ownership if they can prove they owned it on old voat.

I plan to wipe all unbanned ips from the database every week or 2 as a security precaution.

Old voat is dead and gone but I hope we can rebuild some of what it was.

Welcome ! Lets talk! lol!! ;)

It doesnt allow me to sign in, redirects to a url with dbregister at the end and says incorrect password?

Thanks for keeping the Voat spirit alive. This place has sprung into life. Were you famous on the old Voat?

Can you find an alternative to Cloudflare, which censors and destroys anonymity? For example:

https://www.keycdn.com/

https://bitmitigate.com/

Only just saw this but so glad you made it.
Was skeptical at first but I'm happy to be here with my fellow niggerfaggots!

It's been a long time coming. Hopefully you're not just a fuckin Jew stringing us along just to shut our favorite community down on Christmas day again. It looks like home. I hope it begins to feel that way too.

Aren't they all, though? If we're going to congregate on a honeypot, might as well make it OUR honeypot

in some sense if it's not a honeypot, it's a honeypot.

a dissenter-like web site where you could comment on other websites.

id like to see that. especially one that puts an overlay on newspaper articles with comment sections disabled or pozzed so that cunts can still have their say. yeah maybe its still quarantined from the actual news sites but if its something that anyone can use then it might be an effective anti propaganda tool. hell you could even add a 'compare' thing to it where you can see original and then overlaid comments. hell maybe even compare to almost identical articles that say different things and/or same 'journalist' complete opposite opinion.

So I guess let's just get this out of the way now.....

Who's paying for this? How is it being paid for? And is this means of payment sustainable?

I'll tell you right now I don't believe you on this. I realize actual verification of this is is probably impossible, but I'd be a real moron to not assume you're just keeping it all in a database.

You don't. Until there is a trustless alternative, it's best to assume every site is compromised and tread lightly.

Not a big fan of the purple usernames and this funky font in the comment box, but great job so far.

I am going to work on getting things looking more accurately. Please voice your concernes to /v/voatdev or /v/talkloldev, would be easier to have a nice list of things to work on.

Hard agree; really obstructive and distracting.

It'll buff out eventually, though. Here's to hoping that this one doesn't go afk forever or becomes a massive censorfaggot.

Doing the lords work.

Now listen closely. Protect yourself, they will come for you sooner or later. Be wise, be strong, be defiant. We are here, we will help if we can.

Never sell out.

EDIT 2: You’ll want to prioritize adding formatting, lol. Cheers.

There'll be a lot of problems, bugs, etc. Don't get discouraged at the amount and don't get overwhelmed. Just keep plugging along at a pace that works for you. It'll take time, and that's all right.

Good luck. And thank you. We all appreciate your hard work.

I'm mostly just reserving my username, just in case...

...so far, not a fan of the fonts and formatting. Maybe it's because I'm on mobile, I dunno.
