So is myspace... lol jk. Eddit the new future wasspace.

Didot

This is definitely an aspect I appreciate on Voat. That and the fact old submissions aren't auto-locked (that was such a backward decision on Reddit's part).

WellSetTable

And this is shocking how? Im surprised they didn't do it as soon as it was created.

greyhunter4

The Donald sub is the closest thing to free speech on reddit and they wonder why people flock to it. They push them out everywhere else. They're retarded and burning down their own house with censorship.

bleachmymind

What the hell does any of it mean, exactly? Is "fuzzy navel" a code word for human sacrifice or something? This seems like some typical 4Chan gag shit.

imnotatheory

They're just chipping away at their own walls. If free speech is going to die there, reddit may as well die with it.

spez: We have a couple of things in the works to mitigate it

(and)

spez: but we really are looking for general solutions

After reading down the log, I’m seeing that spez does not want to ban T_D - even though several other admins do. He knows if he does, it will be his worst PR nightmare he's ever seen. I think Pizzagate stunned him, taught him a lesson.

I think they are going to try to quarantine T_D to not allow it to leak to r/all or other subreddits. Don’t panic yet!

ThrowThisAwayPi

So the 'Peddit' admins think accusing Hillary of necromancy is a bridge to far!!! Well, Bill Clinton stood and boldly claimed in a speech that his wife communes with Eleanor Roosevelt. You know what that's called - NECROMANCY! OMG, these admins are cucked to the max!

epiphanod

Much of what reddit admins accuse The_Donald users of has been practiced by CTR and Hillary supporters. For the past 18 months ALL of this Bernie supporter's "uncool reddit experiences" have involved CTR and/or Hillary supporters. I never once got flamed by a Trump supporter. The batshit-crazy came entirely from CTR and/or Hillary supporters.

FreeAgain

Bit late to be risking their credibility over. Already got the Don in the office. They'll incur the wrath of the emporer.

SaveTheChildren

Liberals have no sense of professionalism. Their political identity is so important they have to force it onto every aspect of their life.

I'm a teacher and I know to keep politics out of the classroom but there's so many teachers that can't help themselves. It's not the conservative teachers.

HarveyKlinger

That chain of comments was horrifying. As soon as I saw it, I killed off my reddit account and came here. I wish I'd have learned about VOAT sooner.

TangledUpInHarry

Voat developers are having their Jaws moment, "we're gonna need a bigger server".

l23r

Might have been the way you phrased it?

Kinda like how there's a difference between saying "a lot of Catholic preists are pedophiles and the higher ups cover it up. It's like a Catholic Pedo ring!" and saying "Catholics are chomos and chomo enablers!" (though I guess you could argue that the parishoners who donate money to the church are indirectly enabling some preists who are pedos)

user1

Is there a chat or subverse for people with tech skills that want to help?

FPSFairy

I always assumed his responses were copied/pasted because of how similar they all were, but the idea of Amalek sitting there, furiously typing out "COME DEBATE ME FAGGOT!!! LOLOLOLOLOL" every time is actually more believable, now that I think about it.

Kamyria

Banning pizzagate and The_Donald subreddits but keeping pro-pedophile subreddits open and active. How does that even make any sense?

Haldelos

Can someone (better with this stuff than me) tell me if this is legit...https://twitter.com/phan_sye -he's claiming to have gotten into the password protected area of comet...has screenshots of IP addresses ect... and a "menu" that seems to be a smoking gun...

Nightowl19632000

Has anyone asked the owners of this site, what it would it take to upgrade this site to handle that much traffic if they shut tDonald down. That way we can kind of get a figure how much money that it would take, if that was even the problem.

justice4all

What has this world come to.

So fucked up.

MirrorMan

Yeah, I was banned for daring to mention that the average Russian citizen hates our guts. Probably just a Russian mod in the mod team trying to culture the buddy-buddy narrative and get The_Donald to view Russia favorably in their Us vs. Them dichotomy of the free world. You can't undo decades of soviet propaganda in a quarter century. We saw this election how McCarthyism and the red scare are still "relevant" in ratcheting up levels of fear to force compliance. You better bet your biscuits that Russians get the same treatment.

I was specifically banned for mentioning my Russian friend who speaks the language fluently, but was born in America, traveled to Russia many times throughout his life. On three occasions he was held at gunpoint by a Russian and accused of being an American spy. He was generally treated like shit once it came out that he was a full blooded Russian American citizen. This kid was like 20 years old. He had no control over that shit.

What a bunch of whiny cunts in that chat log

bidentime

Telling comments on the thread about how TD can't be controlled, especially to be more like the rest of Reddit shows the controlling mindset of the left. If they can't control something the default position is that thing is bad.

riggington

I did post there already :)

riggington

Yes, I started searching and found it on bottom on my laptop browser. Donated 10$ to keep Voat up.

Truly fucked up.

[Insert deity of choice here] wept. Reddit just started to sign its suicide note. I used to go into MSN chat rooms with more integrity than Reddit has now. I'm glad I didn't waste too much of my life there.

xphoenix

Voat admins need to secure themselves some servers to handle any increase in traffic, this is the best alternative to reddit we cant have it offline every 10min.

wow they really are the assholes I thought they were.

path

I don't think they will. Slowly but surely the conversation and attitude has been shifting in that sub. Anything of importance is already being censored there. It's compromised.

It's more fitting for /v/MeanwhileOnReddit in all honestly

Gorillion

You mean "Peddit" admins.

SecularPenguinist

Reddit has become such a shit hole. Let them keep shutting down subs they don't agree with and let them keep migrating here.
Reddit will be an echo chamber for regressive snowflakes discussing their feels in their safe space and Voat will be where intelligent adults actually discuss real issues without fear of censorship.

Didot

and Voat will be where intelligent adults actually discuss real issues without fear of censorship

Except from getting shitposts from some existing Voat users, apparently. I also wonder how censorship-proof Voat really is. Are there some examples of how Voat protects against censorship or are we just relying on the people moderating and the admins to be perfect?

daskapitalist

/u/she tried to censor /v/askvoat . The community downvoated her into oblivion, and when she whined to /u/Atko about not being able to make /v/askvoat a safespace, he told her "calm your tits" and not to try to suppress free speech.

l23r

@she make her way into becoming a mod at one point, from what I can remember. I think it was her sneaky Reddit Power Mod attitude that people especially did not like.

Worlds_Best_Spleen

What I've found in my time lurking here is that, on average, voat users seem to be better at recognizing shitposters, shills, and slideposts, and hence mods take a more passive role than on eddit.

Captain_Hamerica

They don't realise that people who post in t_d also post and comment in other subs, sometimes under other usernames. When those users are pushed over here they also no longer post in those other subs, or they post in both until our one gets enough users.

By banning subs they will be reducing the amount of content over the entire site.

AlbertonFreedman

I've been banned from t_d for months because I didn't bend the knee as a libertarian. No hard feelings here, but clearly I'm not biased towards them. I am also the mod of a number of nonpolitical subs and have been an active poster on Reddit for about a decade. Because of this bullshit, I'm done there. I'm going to scrub my account today sometime. My point being: even people not linked to t_d will be leaving over this. Fuck this.

HeavyBrain

What content?

You mean those shill ad posts allover the frontpage.

philomath

Has it gotten that bad?

THE_LIES_OH_THE_LIES

Yes. Yes it has.

HeavyBrain

Well maybe it was that one time but I stumbeled in on the front page by accident after staying awway for over a year and there was ton of stuff looking like a normal post but the fucking brand names in them just jump right at you.

occassionally

It was only a matter of time. Fuck the admins at Reddit anyways. We'll welcome /r/The_Donald in open arms

GoBackToReddit

gooppoop

People in the chat in the image are also pedos. First name "Pornosexual," leads to cult-like stuff. Centered on worshipping porn literally. Captions that encourage you to watch more depraved porn. Captions that tell you to lose your life to fucking porn, like what the fuck? .. Weird stuff not going to post, right out in the open

I had a feling they'd try that. On a different subject, I'm worried they'll try to bring down Alex Jones Infowars and anyone in the resistance. I hope autists have alternatives for when the internet goes Chinese.

Who cares!?

skymod

This might be fake.

This isn't the first time trolls have created fake admin chat leaks regarding the deletion of TD.

DragonFly777

They didnt fake the admin bullying the other admin who faked it here did they? https://np.reddit.com/r/modclub/comments/5em521/someone_leaked_private_convos_between_spez_and/dadkby2/?context=3

go1dfish

General skeptic here, but being familiar with the people involved this look incredibly legit to me.

Spez is actually fighting against banning because he knows it would be a shitshow, the default mods are pushing for the ban because they hate that such a popular and prolific section of the site has popped up that they have no power over.

The corruption of /r/politics has never gotten as much attention as /r/The_Donald was able to bring to it and the admins told them they had to knock that off.

Diogenes_The_Cynic

The way my bullshit detector works is by looking at specific versus generic details. This is a specific detail, and its also falsifiable, meaning we have the ability to look it up and see its truth value.

Looks legit, at least one name is a mod.

I seriously think this is Zoe Quinn. With the recent leak (unverified) I am having my doubts on everything with that website.

Ha. Wouldn't surprise me. She's a human STD.

SnorlackJack

That is correct. She is everywhere, like herpes.

jerrykantrell

If this happens, Voat is going to be down for a while.

EndThePizza

I wonder if that's exactly what they're trying to do. That sub isn't nearly as big of a threat as the ongoing investigations on this site, although r/the_donald could be seen as a way for the information to reach the rest of reddit and the others who have been watching this unfold.

If Voat goes down, we can use the subreddit r/Operation_Berenstain as a place to regroup and decide what platform of communication we want to move to next. Just to keep everyone on the same page.

brucethemoose

Yeah, that would be the biggest influx we've seen by a long shot. /r/The_Donald is a freaking massive sub.

"I learned the Truth"

This is straight out of occult / satanism. The Occult's whole ideology is based on hidden knowledge. The CEO of reddit is an occultist / satanist.

ThrowThisAwayPi

Good Gawd!

kneo24

That's probably true. I know I'll try to be using Voat more often from now on. The_Donald is the most inclusive group I've seen on Reddit. They accept anyone and everyone and how they achieve that is by forcing everyone to bend the knee. Everyone is overwhelmingly nice to everyone else. We all get along. That bending the knee forces us in one direction, and that direction is to MAGA. We don't have time for petty squabbles.

PolybiusPizza

I was banned for explaining why I voted for Johnson in spite of being a bigger fan for Trump. Even included electorate logic and everything. BANNED

bleachmymind

LOL, I was banned for linking a story on how Donald Trump won't prosecute Hillary that came out this week, so there's that.

Bill_Murrays_Sandals

We should then donate! I coughed up 10 bucks yesterday for Voat (no badge yet), we should all do the same for the good of our playpen!

https://i.sli.mg/1uD1cj.jpg

Reddit's Orwellian admins are getting drunk on 1984 power juice, so fuck them. If they ban The Donald, Voat's traffic will explode.

Let's hope more fed up folks leave plebbit and join our ranks. But we should all donate to ensure the site can actually handle it.

Ivegotredditcancer

I was just setting up the 5 bucks a month plan but I can't donate with paypal. We need that option.

philomath

PayPal was an option until they froze the account. They didn't approve of what voat might have on it. I'm not sure if Atkins ever got his money back....

Ivegotredditcancer

I suppose I could buy bitcoin but I don't have a clue how .

philomath

I am in the same boat, but just learned about the Voa store - store.voat.co

I guess you're able to buy a donation from it. I haven't gotten it to work yet....don't think they take Amex.

user1

Donating is great, but do the two founders have any sort of scaling plan?

stuff123

as far as i am aware, they do not. Seriously, everyone should request them to comment on their plan for scaling their infrastructure before donating. I don't think they realize what a goldmine they're sitting on, so I don't think they realize how important it is to take advantage of these ellen pao/pizzagate opportunities. If I had the time, I totally would build my own reddit and make damn sure to be transparent about everything, it's quite literally a golden goose if you follow that rule.
