Hi guys. I didn't see an FAQ, and I'm guessing most goat refugees will be wondering about at least some of these, so I guess I'll just ask about some things I haven't already seen answered.

  1. What is the official term for the user base? Is it Phuks, Phukrs, Phukheads, something else?
  2. Are there any limits on upvoting/downvoting based on comment/submission phuks you have accrued?
  3. Are there any community norms or cultural aspects at Phuks that I should be aware of?
  4. Aside from night mode and disable CSS are there any other features that I should be aware of?
  5. What is the general consensus here concerning power mods, content curation and censorship?
  6. How bad are your grammar nazis?
  7. No preview button? What gives?!

I also have some questions, if it is all right to tag them onto this thread. I've heard a few varying opinions about this site but I prefer to see things for myself rather than rely on the opinions of others.

  1. What is the general political leaning of the user base?
  2. What prompted the exodus from Voat for the older members?
  3. What is the owner/operators views on freedom of speech?
  4. Should we worry about shadowbans? (In the event someone says something that goes against the grain of a perceived "hive mind")
  5. Should Goats expect a cold welcome here?

Outside of that, I don't have many other questions but I feel as though I will either ask those in time or discover the answers for myself. In advance, thank you for your service thus far. You have a nice looking home.

  1. None, Left, Right, Up and Down are all represented. It's hard to say where the biggest numbers are because many of us are filthy centrists.
  2. There wasn't really an exodus. It was a gradual trickle, that did build speed over time, but we all had different breaking points.
  3. They favour free speech. But everything has limits. The best of causes can be corrupted when taken to an irrational extreme. They will make the call based on situation and context, rather than blind rules. If the intentions are good, there will not be any problem that can't be worked out. But there won't be much tolerance for vote/site manipulation, malicious acts, or people with an agenda war to wage.
  4. They have made it clear that they will not use shadowbans. All admin and mod actions are publicly logged and can be viewed at any time.
  5. Goats will generally get a warm welcome. Most, maybe all, of us were/are Goats.
