So it turns out my handle was already taken. Middle_Pillar now.

After much deliberation (and a couple beers) I have decided to join this place. People seem nice and it seems more like Voat when I first joined.

Maybe I'll start a JustGrowIt here?

HEY! Glad to see you made it here. I always appreciated your posts on Voat - I came to think of you as the voice of reason in threads when things had gone off the rails. You were willing to carefully argue the tough points whereas I'd already called everyone in the thread a bunch of fuckers and closed my browser window.

There are a lot less politics here, which is why I stayed - honestly, you can only listen to someone telling you how big a pile of shit everything is for so long until you want to throttle them, yourself and the closest living thing.

Just happy to see you made it. You build a /s/ for JustGrowIt and I'll be there, saving my requisite $2.83 on tomatoes. :p

Thanks for the kind words. I do agree, Voat can put you in a certain mindset. Even before the blackout I would scroll down the pages and just imagine the amount of hate and obsession coursing through people's veins.

I'm still open to any conversation, i guess I just keep a cool head (most of the time).

I hope you die in a tragic tomato irrigation accident.

Hi, nice to see you, neighbor! This place sure is nicer than Voat!

I'm getting the same feeling. I'm sick of having to skim past hundreds of posts talking about jews and blacks every day.

G’day mate, nice to see ya. This place is pleasantly a bit more civil but still has that old voat vibe. I deleted my voat account now. Something smells off over there and it’s gone from harsh truths to mostly shit stirring and hoax posts. Also no reply from Atko or Putt which seems out of character. Sad to see. Hope old Atko swings by here to say G’day. Still have an open offer for a beer or a whiskey if he ever swings by Brisbane Australia. To be honest I’d probably happily catch up for a beer or two with most of you phukers.

Must be nice that you were allowed to delete your account! I try to do it everyday, but I am still "globally banned" from deleting mine.

Guess I was unimportant enough to not get hit with whatever is going on.

I suspect that it had something to do with me making a comment about leaving and disliking the way Puttitout handled the recent blackout. But this is just speculation. I never really participated in the political discussions, and I steered clear of almost all of the drama, except some sanegoat stuff. I harassed the shit out of sane.

But who knows, this could just be a bug that affects random users.

Helloooo!

Are you going to open The_Path over here? there is a /s/Occult sub but thats about it I think.

Howdy Middle! This is a great place, a lot like the goat land used to be, welcome to the world of foxes. Enjoy.

Thanks man, good to see you too! So, who runs this place? What's the story?
[–] Owlchemy 3 points (+3|-0)

It's cool here, they actually have a several active admins always on top of everything. Checkout chat window, Pembo, Polsaker, are a couple there are a few more. Everyone is welcome and If you have any problems, they jump right on it and either fix or give you a straight answer. Most, if not all are goats who got tired of Voat drama and rolled their own. I was posting to both Voat and here for awhile now, but after the 'days of darkness' over there, I just lurk and have moved on.

You'll like it here ... great folks for the most part and many ex-Voaters. Don't trust all the usernames, a few, like NeedleStack have been stolen ... she's the RealNeedleStack here. There may be others, too, so just a heads up. Read the TOS in the sidebar links ...

All that's missing is an east coast millionaire with a thousand acre farm, a guy larping as a A-list pornstar, and a knitting trump supporter, and you'll have the whole team here...

Either way, start that sub and I'll be sure to add some discussion to the mix.
[–] Middle_Pillar [OP] 5 points (+5|-0)

I think someone else started the sub, gotta do more digging. I'll probably whip it together tomorrow. I'm pretty tired right now. Only have energy for short posts.
