'Upgoat' only makes sense to an 'in-crowd' of users who get the references to OG Voat. It is a inside joke and does nothing to market this site as a free speech discussion forum. 'Voat' and 'Talk' both invoked a sense of what the site is without relying on a shibboleth
If this site intends to be nothing more than an OG Vote reunion circle jerk, then your opinion would have merit. If we want this site to be anything more significant, then you are retarded.
We could want, but there's no chance of this site becoming anything significant. No new female is going to touch it. Most males would be repelled by the retardation.
There was something magic about old voat that made it mostly work. But remember the doldrums before the 10,000+ Qtards invaded?
Srayzie flappy jewess tiddys and Crensch finished off Voat with their zionist front -The Great Awakening and jews decended on the site. Then Putt took their side and called them "builders" and everyone else "destroyers". Many left at that moment. Not to mention how Pizzagate got taken over and gatekeeped by this same bunch. Many of those great investigators left Voat. Then those godamn zionist Qtards set up shop there and overall IQ lowered by 60 points. Cancer was allowed in and tolerated. Most of the great goats left.

I've given up on that. During the last reddit exodus I don't think this site ever came up as a viable alternative. Nobody promoted it. With corporate censorship and a userbase who refuses to promote, it will never grow beyond what it is now.

Should we promote it? I never did becuase I wasn't sure what the resources can support. You could draw /pol/tards, but that probably get many more glowies and such as well.
It was the only way voat.co became what it was. Back then people were excited and enthusiastically promoting the place. I didn't expect that to happen here, but I did expect it to grow organically over time.
I've mentioned this place to people many times, but Voat isn't very appealing to people, and this site is basically an extension of Voat. Most of the people who made old Voat good went back to image boards and forums.
There are basically two problems here
1) The reddit format sucks Voat got popular in the early days because reddit's decline was becoming obvious and people were looking for an alternative. These days reddit is a monster full of retards who are happy in that shitty place. All of the people who would use a site like this left reddit many years ago and most of them have realized that the format sucks anyway.
2) Free Speech sites aren't rare anymore There are a ton of sites where I can call someone a nigger now. zzzchan.xyz, Smugloli.net, RPG Codex, RPGHQ.org, ect. Why would anyone want to come to a site like this that uses the reddit format and has a userbase is full of the most retarded people from Voat?
Personally I only come here for news these days and most of it is stuff I saw on forums hours or days before it was posted here.
My head almost exploded. My brother in interbutts, that is your job. Imagine thinking your idea and your product will magically promote itself. I can tell you from experience with lolocaust, it doesn't work that way at all. Even if you put a shit load of work into creating something good and useful for like minded people. Promote your shit. No one is going to do it for you.
Organic word of mouth is 100000% more potent than myself promoting it, which would be nothing more than an ad that people see right through. Voat.co would not have reached the level it did if it was only atko pushing it. It's not a good look and would push people away if anything.
Except this site can never become anything significant. We stand for things diametrically opposed to what the government wants. We aren’t allowed to be significant.
While I like the name and feel neutral on the points you’ve made, I appreciate that you articulated your point politely and I understand it. You’re not wrong at all.
Uh yeah its for people who know what voat is. No one here is trying to please anyone outside of it they can fuck off back off to whichever lame reddit website they came from and stop being subversive jews trying to make it appeal to outside audiences.

He banned half the users who downvoated his builders post and sent the other half warnings. I got banned shortly after. Putt was a cunt.
