You were AOU's bitch, were you not?

Well, it is the Internet, so my first thought was doubt.jpg. Obviously.

But, then I thought about it and could not really come up with an interesting idea for a movie that centered around Poal.

So, naturally, I am thinking, if real, this must be such a stupid idea that I should hear about it.

Color me skeptical.

As I recall, TK got some kind of tag arbitrarily assigned. I don't remember which one, but I want to say it was the "niggerfaggot" tag.

AOU does absolutely assign tags arbitrarily.

He did have a good system that mostly worked for autotagging. At least, I felt like it worked about as good as it would get... the algorithm was doing its job. You can't catch'em all, though, and that is where heavy handed moderation stepped in.

Gaming downvoting is gay behavior, so I did like the "rule of thumb" that downvotes should be for spam, but the over-correction was too hard.

I was finally banned for upvoting about 15 - 20 /s/Introductions posts. It's like the site had reached the point that everyone who joined, no matter what their intention, was tagged as a Jew.

If a new viewer wants to make an account, they are run off. And that is exactly what the problem with voat was, too. The environment was too inhospitable to make the messaging and good information get any attention or views.

While tons of great research was posted to Voat, it just died, there. It didn't make it to mainstream. I could get tens of thousands of impressions with one Tweet, where a great Voat post would only get 115 views.

Even after Twitter shadowbanned me, it still had far more reach than with Voat.

Poal seemed to be the answer to all that. Superior interface and superior functionality. Free speech actually existed. For a time, anyways.

Now, it is back to saying only what AOU wants to be said and vote how AOU wants you to vote or you're out. It is the polar opposite of what was intended and envisioned.

It is so heavily micromanaged, it has just become the view of the micromanager and that view is antithetical to free speech.

I feel like AOU has actually made it his mission to run people off. I feel it is intentional and orchestrated. The only other alternative explanation is that he is a cluster B personality.

See if you can find TheBuddha's explanation on why he is no longer at Poal.
