first time I hear of poal, can someone redpill me on it?

antiliberalsociety ago

Some OG's (Original Goats got mad at Puttitout (our admin) and "divorced" Voat, bringing their clique to their own site trying to mirror this one. It backfired, because the censorship they complained about on here, causing the divorce in the first place, they themselves implemented on their new site, causing a reverse migration back over to Voat. Only the clique members stay dedicated to Poal, citing our old catchphrase "fuck off back to [other-site]" (We used to say "fuck off back to reddit")

They use our downtime as "proof" they are better, yet their traffic remains stagnant. The front page often has days old content, most content is reposted from Voat, users that question authority get the badge of shame on their name:

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR

And they of course ban "spammers" that go against their narratives.

auto_turret ago

I don't give a shit about the negative BS some of you say about Poal. That place is a breath of fresh air. And on top of that, the admins are responsive.

With that being said, I should note that I love both Voat + Poal. I find it rather shameful that Poal becomes a place to "run to" away from Voat, and vice-versa. We ought to be fighting as allies. Our enemies laugh at us for not being able to get our different factions to get along, as we do to them.

We have no ground to stand on, laughing at the left for 'eating itself' when we have Voat vs. Poal.

Rant over.

antiliberalsociety ago

We were once allies, they "divorced" and marooned themselves on that stranded island. It can be good to have a "responsive" admin, but so does Plebbit and we've seen the end result of that.

Counter point: Poal has 2 distinct benefits: 1) a significantly more polite user base and 2) a fantastic cultural moray whereby people don't use the downvoat button as a proxy for disagreement or "I don't like that user".

Unfortunately it just isn't as content dense, and 1/5th of the content is day late reposts from Voat. But yeah, I'd like to see some of their civility rub off here (not holding my breath).

No matter what, I don't understand the hate. Poal is really only 1 or 2 degrees different from Voat anyway. I don't see the utility in shit-talking a site that should be seen as an ally with a different flavor.

  1. That's basically the opposite of free speech since they brand or ban dissenters, 2. People vote as they see fit and if it was an election, wouldn't that be considered interference? Then there's public knowledge of who downvotes, you really think that isn't designed to intimidate people from downvoting their content? How is that free speech?

So you're a snowflake, got it.

You're not understanding much of anything. Poal is not 1 or 2 degrees different, it's almost the exact opposite. Here, Putt will own up to his mistakes and short comings, and reverse what he did to piss off the masses. Over there they just pressure you to leave for calling them out, if not outright ban. Then you wonder why there's no content. It is the epitome of hypocrisy, they left here because Putt banned a bunch of old respected Goats; then turn around and pull the same bullshit over there, minus any apologies.

I don't engage enough to keep up with who they ban or why, so what you say might be true, but I've had numerous disagreements with their admin without any threat of banning. First post I was greeted by one of them. I'm actually a huge fan of the idea of public downvotes. Downvotes here are so confusing sometimes, and, from my perspective, misused. I've been downvoated, and seen downvoats for 1) Requests for sources, 2) thanking someone 3) well thought out posts which disagree with hive-mind 4) providing sources. I think if you could see who is downvoating you, it would give some important knowledge. Probably 4/5ths of anyone's given downvoates are by 4-5 people who smash that button 200 times per day. Loud curmudgeons could be more easily identified. Looking at your downvoat ratio, it seems to be one of your favorite things. Nearly every thread with you and someone disagreeing with you, all their posts have one downvoat. hmmm, wonder who that could be?

So you're a snowflake, got it.

Nope, not a very good response. I wonder why you feel compelled to insult nearly everyone you interact with? Being polite is one of the best parts of White Culture.

You're not understanding much of anything. Poal is not 1 or 2 degrees different, it's almost the exact opposite.

It seems that most people disagree with you. This sort of black and White thinking here is far too common. The gatekeeping is real and reminds me of the lefty radicalism that's cropped up in the last 15 years: "Agree with me 100% or your a heretic". Divide and conquer.

I'm glad you're able to type anything you want there, but you might consider what are your goals? Getting past the senseless insults, you sometimes have good ideas. This was a mostly thoughtful reply.

Cheers!

Source?

Of all the outright blatant delusional lies you post, this so far is the #1.

ifuckdolphinseverway ago

Keep pandering. Nobody is listening to your distractions about 8 months ago before Putt got removed.

valleysunshine ago

The downvote button rule is what I don't like about that site.

LurkedForever ago

Why?

valleysunshine ago

Cause I downvote posts I don't like.

LurkedForever ago

Hmmm... well, you're opinion seems to be in the majority, but I don't think it's the appropriate use for the button.

HiJoker ago

I've been lurking there, it's got more content posted and it doesn't stop at 3 or 4 pages in. It also works most of the damn time.

That said, I don't feel like posting there.

LurkedForever ago

Yeah, I agree. I post about 1/10th there as here. Poal got me through that 3 month period where you couldn't lurk here and couldn't register an account. Most people there are significantly more polite than here, and the chance of a thoughtful interaction is much higher. But the lack of content is the big killer. Many day late reposts from voat.

antiliberalsociety ago

it's got more content posted

  1. That's a cute lie

  2. The shit that actually gets votes sits on the front page for days

  3. Post anything about Voat in /whatever and butthurt admin will move it to/meanwhileonVoat where it can't be seen.

  4. If you call them out on their bullshit they brand your username as "SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR". I saw several threads jerking admins off for banning people they find annoying.

HiJoker ago

I'm not lying, bullet point faglet.

Not as many people there so shit doesn't move much.

Don't know, don't care, don't post, just look at the aggregated news there.

Again, I don't give a fuck about their forum dramas.

I go there for stuff I don't find here. I don't need your fucking permission or approval. Go fuck yourself. Don't believe me, nigger bitch? Roll over there and take a look at the shit posted. Sure it's by the same person or bot, but it's still content. It's relative stuff, they do the JQ, they talk about niggers. WTF is wrong with that? Stupid niggers here run their mouth about some place else to check out when voat goes down? Yeah. Go fuck yourself rabi.

antiliberalsociety ago

Go smoke your Poal then, illiterate child. You DID lie because they don't have a fraction of the content Voat does.

HiJoker ago

Jesus you're a fucking god damn asshole retard. WTF is your malfunction? This isn't a competition. Are you so god damn lame that you somehow identify with this place? Are you like some goofy sports fan? Kill yourself please.

antiliberalsociety ago

You're right, it's not a competition. How can they possibly compete with us outside of downtime? Don't get all butthurt because they clearly didn't come out on top.

Please serenade me with more of your superb ad hominem, it's very complimentary to my point.

HiJoker ago

You're the one all butt hurt faggot about even mentioning them. Super fanboi madness. So if Voat goes away, will you kill yourself?

antiliberalsociety ago

Goats can't REEEEE, so clearly you don't belong here. If anything you're fanboy-ing for that desert trying to be Voat.

PuttitoutIsGone ago

sonofaboomer ago

Looks like classic divide and conquer tactics to me. Get two rival factions to remain enemies instead of joining back together and fight for a common cause. I like voat exactly because we don't have to like each other here. It's an added bonus, but I came here to talk and learn more about how white people can take their culture back and be proud of it and pass that love onto their children. How we cam protect it for future generations. We can disagree, but I want to be around people with that same desire. People who spread pictures like this are more interested in getting us to fall to chaos. Many agents of chaos on voat and poal, the chans, etc.

LurkedForever ago

Nice viewpoint.

antiliberalsociety ago

I love how you ignore their blatant censorship. The irony is, they only made that site due to censorship, some prominent goats got banned. They rose up and built a would-be rival site, and immediately adopted the same censorship policy they were crying about.

TheBuddha ago

That's actually untrue. The site was started after The Great Voat Outage and was started because of Putt's nonchalance and inactivity as an admin, with users being frustrated by the extensive downtime.

I was there.

antiliberalsociety ago

It was a backup that became the tantrum sanctuary.

TheBuddha ago

That may be true, but your first statement was false.

You can just own it and say, "Yeah, my bad." 'Snot like I hold you to high standards!

antiliberalsociety ago

I didn't pay much attention to it in the beginning, but it can be argued it was a power struggle from the beginning. It essentially was born out of disagreement with how Putt managed the site. The down time was the catalyst, yes, but it was basically resembling a wife cheating on her husband to create the backup plan so she can divorce her husband.

TheBuddha ago

I just told you why. It is not like I just make this shit up. I was there when the domain name had not even resolved. I've even helped with some code, or more accurately spotted the issue in their code.

antiliberalsociety ago

You give one version, yes. But that's not the only reason they made it.

TheBuddha ago

Go fucking ask 'em. They'll tell you.

antiliberalsociety ago

They usually wine about Putt and I'm sure they'll maintain that narrative, but I was here too and remember the falling out. What I and many others saw was their advising Putt, and when he didn't oblige, they'd pout. It was boiling up since it's inception.

TheBuddha ago

Whelp, I can't reason you out of a position you didn't reason yourself into.

antiliberalsociety ago

Likewise

SpunRecord ago

You both are completely wrong.

TheBuddha ago

Like hell I am. I was there.

SpunRecord ago

uh huh

TheBuddha ago

no u!

antiliberalsociety ago

You sound like a fake Vietnam vet.

I was THERE, man! I saw some SHIT!

sonofaboomer ago

I know almost nothing about poal other than they're mostly made up of old goats, yeah? From what people say, it looks like several paid shills got together and pied pipered people over there for a disinformation campaign. But I am a newfag here and keep my mouth shut and mostly lurk, so correct me if I'm wrong. Is there any point to get some of those disenchanted people back? Voat does have its share of problems, but fuck if it isn't one of the few sites actually worth visiting these days.

It's good to have multiple sites anyhow.

HiJoker ago

OP is a faggot. He went over to Poal, a place like voat when voat was down. He's now shitting on it like a nigger. They've had problems with jackasses going there to try to blow the place up. Something about cunts blowing up people's threads with gore posts. You know, you're trying to post a puppy pick and some nigger comes in with gore pic to troll the place up until the normal people there are miserable.

You know the kind, degenerate little punk bitches that have nothing better to do in life so it's really a disappointment that they aren't all drafted to some desert hellhole to die for the jews after all. At some point, the little rude cunts deserve to be jewed in my opinion, but I digress.

I came across an interview with the owner and he was frustrated, he's a free speech proponent, but he says they use free speech to destroy free speech. Looks like when he tries to keep that from happening, he's then trolled by niggers like OP.

What makes me pause is the content is like voats, they call out the fucking jews. There's plenty of nigger hate to go around, wtf is the problem? I'd think we'd be lenient with them at least as they're trying to make it work. As if we don't know what being fucked with is like? So why go fuck with them? Why foster some bullshit faggot rivalry that isn't good for either place?

Who the fuck benefits from it? The OP trying to gin up some points with some low IQ hurr hurr us vs them? I know we're missing acres of content concerning this, but who cares when your a niggr faggot looking to circle jerk?

antiliberalsociety ago

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR

Funny thing is you, like all Poal Smoking faggots, can't stay away from this place. Cry moar, faggotnigger

HiJoker ago

You're just a pathetic desperate little cunt nigger aren't you? You must have went over there and acted an ass or something and got kicked out. You act like some kind of nigger SJW lunatic liberal. 'MUH POAL' Please show us on the doll where they touched you.

What a pathetic loser. You act like this place makes you special or something. lol "Hey everyone, I post on some obscure website and I think I'm hot shit for it!"

Someone can't even discuss another website without you becoming king jackass faglet? Should we all submit a request to you so we can go elsewhere and talk about it?

How about you take your purity spiral, virtue signalling, attention whore, nigger ass thread and go fuck yourself.

LurkedForever ago

purity spiral, virtue signalling, attention whore

This part certainly seems true, particularly the "purity spiral" bit. I said that poal was 1 or 2 degrees away from Voat and he replied that "I don't understand much of anything" along with his normal insults. Black and white thinking.

antiliberalsociety ago

Cute lie, link it

LurkedForever ago

You're not understanding much of anything. Poal is not 1 or 2 degrees different, it's almost the exact opposite.

Bro...scroll down. It's in this very post...

The link is- this post you wrote it a few days ago. Stop drunk posting.

antiliberalsociety ago

You misquoted it. "I don't understand much of anything" implies I was talking about myself.

antiliberalsociety ago

Never made an account, never will after seeing such faggotry afoot. I just checked again, I will admit I made a mistake. At least in /funny, they have not been horking our content. I assumed it was all of our content recycled, but no - 100% Poal.

And good God almighty, they probably SHOULD steal our content. That was painful to see, I mean, top post had +11 votes? It's like an internet purgatory. Ugh, I pitty those that know not their slavery to smoking thy Poal.

HiJoker ago

It's a free speech place. They're worried about fucktards from Qs going there and dominating them. lol It's a tiny user base that's for sure. I'm keenly aware of their posts, how much is commented and it's got tumbleweeds blowing around there.

I cycle through the 'hot' content here quickly. At best lastly I get 3 or 4 pages tops and that's it. So fuck it, I hop over to poal and see what's new there if anything. Some of the posts hardly ever move, but lately there's been a slew of stuff posted. I don't think voat or poal, either one are original in most of their content. I think it's picked up from god knows where and posted here and there.

It's message boards, they're pretty much the same from BBS days. Lots of reinventions of the wheel, I say. I digress. At least it's not a commie rat fuck free speech site, as if those exist. I doubt I give a fuck enough to go to one if there was one. I should. I should be looking at what the fucktards are on about. I got better shit to do, like sort my sock drawer.

antiliberalsociety ago

The problem is, you claim it's a free speech site but "he says they use free speech to destroy free speech. So he goes on a banning/labeling spree. I read a thread a while back, it was a poll asking for opinions. And I watched users that disagreed or voted "no" get brigaded, labelled, and then they "self deleted". I have not seen that since reddit.

There's good reason it's got tumble weeds, and that is overactive moderation. They reap what they sew.

Broc_Lia ago

Sad to say, but not a whole helluva lot different than Voat these days. Where every other post/comment is just calling someone a shill or complaining about how Voat is a honeypot.
