You deserve some sort of medal. A real medal, not some fucktard internet gold bullshit.

What about me?

I was an occasional lurker on reddit, one night I was at work and bored.. I went to browse Reddit and found it flooded with outrage over the Ellen Pao shit and claims of a mass exodus to Voat..

We have /v/MeanwhileOnReddit for that shit, for those that want to wallow in schadenfreude.

[–] WildRide311 0 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago 

something most voaters like, every now and then

[–] nottashill 0 points 9 points (+9|-0) ago  (edited ago)

I'm unhappy. I've never commented, DV'ed and UV'ed so much in the past 24+hrs. It's like battling to make sure some of these fucks don't try and bring their reddit-y attitudes over here. @funwithfingerfoods and @Pizzawars have already ignited my fiery ire. Maybe another one named Mohamed (go figure) as well. Time will tell. Call me an asshole. Call me rude. Idgaf. I've loved this place for over a 1.5yrs. I left Reddit for a reason, I'll fight to keep Reddit shit away from here.

Edit to ping @Muhammad-Al-Heeb 's bitch ass as well.

[–] SirDigbyChikenCaesar [S] 0 points 11 points (+11|-0) ago 

God damn immigrants.

[–] nottashill 0 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago 

You're god damn right.

[–] cynicaloldfart 0 points 1 points (+1|-0) ago 

I think that's exactly what a certain segment of our society is saying today on Thanksgiving.

I didn't try and bring anything here. I didn't try to censor anything or belittle anyone. Apparently everyone loves @TheodoreKent so much that trying to get people back on track and directing the message specifically at him really angered everyone.

Unfortunately, shortly after that, I made a post which was voted to the front page of the subverse, wherein people assumedly agreed with my message.

It sucks to see that people like yourself fall prey to ridiculous bandwagons. Actually, it sucks even more that we're sitting here arguing about whether or not I'm an asshole now, instead of trying to help these children being fucking raped.

This investigation/organization/whatever is no longer going anywhere. Do you want to know why? Morons like yourselves, who would rather, in your self-absorption, sit in this fucking echo chamber jerking eachother off about some dude that triggered your "royalty."

Do you want to know what I did on r/pizzagate? I started off by messaging the longest standing mod u/pizzathrowaway777 about regulating the subreddit. I told him, and you can read this shit in the post I made on v/pizzagate, that he shouldn't censor things because the voting system will work itself out. I told he he should make logs of why people are modded, and reported other mods to him that made posts linking people to bullshit they had to download, which was unsafe, unwise, and unproductive. He removed the mod shortly after.

What else did I do? I used my understanding of persuasion tactics to help weed out shills and other idiots trying to throw us off course. I know I can't really prove it now, but there was a bullshit email someone mentioned that said something about beanie babies and/or cats or something. Someone with the username u/LtSneer came to the post and had the top voted comment saying that the guy was a vet/missing pet expert/some shit like that and I tried to get people not to listen to this guy and dig further into this shit because people were clearly dismissing it. It seemed like a good lead, and I didn't want people thrown off. Shortly after that, a post was made about several shills/trolls that hit the front page of r/pizzagate and they happened to mention the LtSneer guy, the one I helped people see through. I could give you more examples, but I guarantee you won't listen.

I tried to actually help the community, organize it, and weed out potential threats. Clearly I wouldn't have the same effect here, due to the plethora of bandwagon circle jerk bullshit.

Fine, don't listen to me. Don't take my help. Help prolong/diminish this shit more, just like they want. I hope you pathtic fucks can live with yourselves knowing you had a genuine chance to stop this and let moronic forum politics stand as an obstacle for you.

Dude, some of us have your back. We are just wary of the culture of the other site. You just keep doing you. The flip side of all this is that the site needed new blood. Maybe put something in the side bar to let them know it's "mob rule" not "mod rule" over here. We all came here in waves of disgruntled reddit users. Most of us have grown past it. I hope you'll grow into the site.

Did you think the alien attacks were a joke? You DO know what they call illegal immigrants, right?

[–] nottashill 0 points 0 points (+0|-0) ago 

Invaders?

And I never thought it was a joke.

[–] turtlesarepureevil 0 points 0 points (+0|-0) ago 

Edits do not ping anyone. Was shills the reason fam?

[–] nottashill 0 points 1 points (+1|-0) ago 

Learn something new everyday.

I left Reddit bc it stopped being genuine.

Hey Rainy, there is some fuck in the comments here arguing with me and I'm throwing you're memes at him. Thanks bro.

[–] Rainy-Day-Dream 0 points 1 points (+1|-0) ago 

you're welcome! this is what memes are for

Bookmarked for future use.

[–] Arotaes_Forgehammer 0 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago 

Amen brother. This will die down in a few days if Reddit doesn't just finally implode on itself, and then we're officially screwed.

[–] ratsmack 0 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago 

I came limping over from Reddit about a year and a half ago, but I don't remember people back then complaining about it. I have actually been enjoying the recent surge of people and even like to hear about what's going over at the Reddit shit hole... it will die down again in a week or so.

[–] SirDigbyChikenCaesar [S] 0 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago 

People complained then but it was all funneled into Meanwhileonreddit.

[–] AlwaysInService 0 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago 

v/MeanwhileOnReddit is full of Reddit bullshit. We just need to tunnel all this newcomers there now

[–] 8Hz_WAN_IP 0 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago 

Reddit is run by idiots and it is fun watching them go the way of Digg.

[–] AlwaysInService 0 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago 

That's why we have v/MeanwhileOnReddit

[–] SirDigbyChikenCaesar [S] 0 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago 

But they aren't using it. That's the fucking problem. Just like the rapefugees in Europe who are shitting on the street and washing their asses in water fountains, redditors are shitting all over Voat.

[–] AlwaysInService 0 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago 

I know. That's exactly why everyone is upset and annoyed with them. All of them should get the fuck out to v/MeanwhileOnReddit and leave the rest of us in peace. All I hope is - they will understand and assimilate like we did (certainly I did) when we were coming over from there
