Regardless of what I agree or disagree with regarding what others in the community think, I think it's impossible to ignore the influence that our community and the annon community in general has had on the world at large. I would go so far as to say, and have said, that we were being watched not only by "bad guys", but also by sane people in positions of power who also saw the very bleak future for their kids and grandkids, but didn't know how to avert the looming catastrophe until they saw what we were doing.
We are tiny and insignificant now, but old Voat wasn't. And we don't have new users now because 90% of the old Voat community didn't migrate over. A large percentage of those people seem content to exist on chat communities which require the attention span of a low IQ goldfish to be able to function on.
And of course, old Voat wasn't big in terms of number of users, but in terms of influence on the internet we were force multipliers who broke the algorithms before (((they))) even understood they were under attack.
It really does feel like all the effort in the past decade is starting to pay off. If you were there shit posting with me, thank you. You are the coolest people on this planet. Multi-million dollar propaganda campaigns can't compete with us. And that's because we have history on our side. No amount of jewish dollars can buy or take that away.
They were not scared, they were run off like this shit was a gang that you needed to be berated before you could be a part of it.
Userbase would be as vulgar and unwelcome as possible to each other within the defaults, there wasn't discussion, and that is no different than now.
Top posts hover around 50 votes as an average here now, where a year ago was 100, back on old voat was in the 1000s because the community would foster who they could get, like fatpeoplehate or qanon because it means numbers.
That is what new users saw...those fucks dominated the defaults with their spam, the vulgarity and the retardation. Now we have alcoholics, people that demand anyone but them does something about whatever they point at.
Eventually this place will be the same group of people bitching at each other.
It aint all bad. Dude go meet these people! Went to goats giving two times. Sang songs with all of us and his kid, I took some of them to shoot guns! Got one lives like a mile away. Sold him my truck.
Salt of the earth kinda people. Some are good, others are bad. My new rules is if they smell bad, don't waste your time. I have talked a few of them out of suicide. Others taken to dinner, but I always try to visit a range with them. See how they handle a firearm.
I belive you can learn a lot of a person with how they handle a firearm. There are some here that are just hateful and going to remain the personification of DISTAIN.
Lots of them i met during rona years were alcoholics. We pretty much text one another, and I message them when I am close. Anyways, try it! Some of them are here.
