It's incredible that people took the abuse for so long on reddit.

Part of it was there were basically no real reddit alternatives alternatives for literally 10 years. Your options were to go back to digg, or go to fark or slashdot, basically.

Then voat came along, and that was a dumpster fire within about 6 months. It was supposed to be the one to save us, but it failed. Then no one else made an alternative for about 2 more years until saidit was made. Now there's like 5 functional alternatives and it's nice to have an actual variety of options.

I still think Voat would have turned out fine if everyone just stuck around and simply filtered out the things they didn't want to see.

Like the truth?

Hey man, I like Voat and have been there since the early days. I have the same username over there and everything. All I'm saying is that I understand why it never truly took off or remained popular. Unfortunately the powers that be have made the truth to which you refer unpalatable to the bluepilled mind. People are more likely to come around if they are redpilled gradually and gently - they need to feel like they reached the conclusion on their own. Shouting "KIKES DID 9/11" in every thread may be cathartic, but it's not going to convince 98% of the population. If GOATS had practiced some decency and decorum, we could have kept a lot more people around to eventually redpill.

Yeah goats all seem to be inhabited by hicks and trailer trash

I wouldn't go that far, and as a White Nationalist I certainly wouldn't stoop to that sort of anti-White elitism. Most of them are decent people angry about the prospect of our future in this fucked up world.
