Refugee, somehow I missed that poal.co even existed til today. What would the overall difference be? I spent over 5 years on voat.
From a goat's perspective, probably the chief difference is not using the downvote button to disagree. On a more subtle cultural difference, people here are generally more polite (yes you can say nigger nigger nigger kike cuck blah blah if you want to, but far fewer people are just openly hostile for no reason)
You mean you don't randomly accuse each other of being "glowniggers" and jews any time you disagree? Pssht, why am I even here.
Sounds like something a glownigger would say ;-)
I THINK YOU BOTH ARE GLOWNIGGER JEWS.
Whew! Got that out of my system. I mean, in Clown World a man sometimes has to call someone a glownigger jew at least once a day, don't take it personally unless, well, you actually ARE a glownigger jew or a jew glownigger.
Anyhow, 2021 will be an interesting year and not in a good way....
Lets be honest thats any right wing site in a nutshell. Two massive anti-semites accusing each other of being Jews. Gab was really bad for it back in the day.
Its the one thing the right suffers from that really looks autistic.
Fuck this gay shit, I want to get verbally deepthroated the moment I deviate from the party line.
What the fuck is life worth if you’re not being bodydived by flat earthers the moment you dare refer to the Earth as a globe.
What is even the meaning of life without the figurative group stabbing the moment you dare suggest that the Grand Cabal didn’t cause the last cookie to fall behind the counter.
I need direction GOD DAMMIT!
Okay rabbi...
I'm a longtime Voat user, and I hardly ever used the downvoat feature except in two cases: someone is being straight-up insulting, or obviously trolling. At Voat, nobody gave a fuck about the points. I'm not sure if that's different here...are there privileges for accruing points?
You are identified by the color of your username. Presently we are both niggers in poal world. Faggots that post a lot get red usernames. It is my experience that the more someone posts, the less they are saying that is worthwhile.
Downvotes are overrated, I would regularly shit on qtards in the q subs and my points would never go into the negative on a given day.
seems to be one for opening new subs on here. dunno what they are called.
Ok so nicer people overall and same free speak side. I could get use to that. I was never much of a poster just commented from time to time and kept up with news everyday. Thanks for quick reply.
Np bro
I was sporadic with my posts but would always pay my dues when necessary.
So far seems like a little less venting of rage and a bit more constructive debate here.
That is naturally the case with smaller populations. Give it time.
What you don't like being immediately called a fed shill and followed around the site because you disagreed with someone?
That's my estimation.
Nice name there pal.
And no more buttholeslike @Mumbleberry!!! 😁😁😂👍
I don't understand the downvote thing? I always had a lot more upvotes then downvotes on voat probably 10 to 1 or 10 to 2... I don't know what the big difference is.. I guess explain it like I'm a 5 year old.
Ok. The purpose of the downvoat button is to indicate that a post is spam, off topic, illegal. The purpose is not to indicate disagreement, or dislike of someone's posting. I you disagree, you can articulate why (best option) or just call them a niggerfaggot and move on. If the purpose of downvotes is to indicate that the posting shouldn't be read because it doesn't belong (spam/off topic/anything Aged might have posted on voat) then you do others a disservice by downvoating something simply because you disagree with it. That sort of behavior quickly turns a place into an echochamber.
Let's take voat as an example. Suppose I had said "I don't think people should call black people "the n word", and they're just as intelligent as us, I don't believe all this IQ nonsense." That view would have been downvoated to oblivion and many people might not have had a chance to see it let alone discuss or correct it. That's not much different than what contemporary reddit does (except those fag jannies also remove the posts). We're better than that. We can win the conversation with ideas and proof. While you and I almost certainly disagree with that, we can indicate that by citing sources of differences of IQ, using the word nigger, or just calling the OP a fag and moving on.
In this way, the downvote button has a discrete function, more elegant than "I don't like what you've said, but I'm too lazy do do anything about it but hit a button." Anyway, that's my take on it, but you may be better off asking the site owners (sorry for pinging you guys so much, I know you're busy) @aouand @PMYB2
Hope that was eli5 enough.
It's snowing here.
I keep scrolling to see how deep it’s getting. Some things they just won’t let you see here I guess.
You enable your NSFW filter?
Well don't you wish for a white chirstmas?
my pc fan stopped blazing as soon as i disabled that
Some accounts have privileges
Yeah saw the list on sign up. Seems sensible stuff. Thanks.
One nice thing about Poal is your votes are reflected "live" on the page so you don't have to wonder if they've been accepted by the server.
Also hitting the back button doesn't crash the site, so you can hop back to the main page easily.
We also have MiniChat, where Pauline attempt to tell jokes but never seems to get to the punchline.
Ah the "Other Services by Poal.co" listed on the sidebar. Ok I would have missed that without the mention. Will have to check out sometime I'm not so distracted. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, those other services...I can't get the chat to load up.
