Nope. Voat is okay. 8ch.net is a bit grinding on my nerves, with the constant repetition of a few words like a silly mantra for three-year-old ferals, desperate to piss off mommie. I did have to ditch saidit and another one (something.io), due to being overrun by SJW commietards, and have cut back at reddit for the same reason. As a centrist or independent, I find I can tolerate rightists a lot more than leftists, ever since Trump took office and the libtards went apeshit.

Not at all, not even after I admitted that I am a white guy married to a black woman. You can imagine how they took it, but tbh, I just find it refreshing to hear people talk unrestrictedly. I fucking hate the Left for making everything so fucking buttoned up, even though I am myself vaguely left of centre and much more left in sympathies. I just wished the Left's solutions worked better in real life.

No. In fact I'm still there, waiting for more normal people to join. There's nothing preventing us from taking the site over. I comment daily about how stupid and insufferable the racists are. I get downvoted. But there are always a few upvotes mixed in. It's just the same hundred or so people jerking each other off. All it would take is a couple hundred people on the entire internet to go there and flood the boards with normal, moderate political posts and non-political content and to vote accordingly, and the Nazi shit would be swept into the minority. That's the beauty of free speech.

Yeah, I do. I joined 3.7 years ago after seeing Reddit censor content. I donated money. I actively promoted Voat.
Atlif seemed to be doing a great job even as mass exoduses crashed the servers. Felt like I was part of something great.
Then Atlif quit and Justin became an absentee landlord. The site crashed for days. Never responded to issues, just kept doing Justin things.
I accused him of selling the site. I was wrong, but that didn't excuse the horrible management nor his outright rude treatment of me.
I'd like to go back, but I'm still Leary of Putt.

Didn't Atko have to come back temporarily to stabilize the site (when it was down for days) because Putt was having some personal issues? Putt definitely was absentee too much before that happened. I remember when Atko and Putt would interact more and after Atko left it was kind of like Putt lost interest.

Yes, and that incident is what made me eventually leave the site. If I recall correctly, Putt was on vacation and Atko had to come in to fix the server. What irritated me was Putt's complete lack of any explaination whatsoever. He took the time to post a haiku but wouldn't take the time to explain what happened.

Add me to the no pile. I still lurk voat, but no longer post. I was over participating before the Qtards showed up. There were plenty of ignorant fucks ruining voat before the Qtards. The only difference is they didn't have a label. Basically any "group" that migrated came with very tribal minded members. These were people who wanted to turn voat into wherever they came from.
I think the existence of a place that pushes the inverse side of the accepted narrative is important. There's never going to be an ecosystem on the internet that is large and diverse of opinions and beliefs. You can either have small and diverse or large and uniform. Voat is now too big to support oppositional views. Of course the alternatives to voat, pushing the other side of the narrative, literally created the migration that grew voat to the size where the scope of allowable content shrinks.
I believe the bigger an internet platform becomes the smaller the tolerated amount of diverse discussion. The domain of blacklisted topics and speech grows with population. I believe this principle applies outside of online communities. I'm wary of large groups who have no tolerance for individuals. I wish the U.S. Government held more power at the state level, but I see no future where federal power diminishes. That's why I have a long term goal to become a citizen of a European country. The U.S. Is irreversibly too big to support individuals in my estimation.

Wouldn't reddit be considered big and diverse? You still have T_D and mensrights and a bunch of other conservative subs. True, on a sub by sub basis, the mods and voters tend to enforce one ethos, but there are a few subs with substantial left and right participation. Politicaldiscussion comes to mind.

The subs that are diverse are small enough that they never get seen by the majority of users. If they were large enough to be seen by the majority then they would cease to be diverse. The Reddit approach of subverses is the right idea, however when a subverse reaches a certain size it creates users akin to cultists. These users then infect other subverses like pathogens. The process is remarkably similar to how viruses operate, invading the host cell and producing copies of the virus before the cell bursts and the virus invades neighboring cells. Diverse ideas are not capable of reproduction at the rate of viral ideas. A few viral ideas, the simpler the better, prove to be effective at rapidly reproducing within the current environment. They sprout up like weeds and outcompete deep rooted and slow reproducing ideas. When you reach a critical mass of weeds you lose another space to the better adapted invasive species.

I do not, while it devolved into sophomoric whiny trash with too many hurt fee-fees, I liked watching/being part of a new community with potential. I look at it as a splendid social experiment, high in ideals but in action much of it goes sideways (like communism). Also if I had not gone to Voat I would not have met great folks like Lockeproposal and ended up over here.

I left as soon as I watched some pedo promote being a pedo and
not
one
person
called it out (other than me). No fucking thanks. I'm all about free speech and letting nazis do whatever the fuck they legally want but that was waaay too much for me.

I regret my time spent with multiple accounts.

Weird. I recall Voat being strongly against that and other forms of degeneracy.
It took awhile before the backlash really got strong, and even then he didn't get banned. One sub would get closed and another would pop up.
No. It was fun. And while the content gotten so bad that you can't tell the shill from the trolls it did prove that people do like the format.
No? Are you some kind of nigger jew? Lol
The phuks immune system is working I see.
