Guilds

I keep a list of 'based' guilds that I didn't update since September 2020. I found a heap with no admins and sieged the first one I found. All of the others without admins have been sieged by other users, but I don't know whether these are AHS types or whether they've been retaken by other 'based' people. So, no, even the admins + AHS did not disband these guilds.

Voat

Here's what I've learned so far. I don't think subverses can be made private (they can only be made 'NSFW'), which only means they don't appear for people who have NSFW disabled (default option on user accounts appears to be enabled). There has been very little NSFW content posted (I think I've seen one gore video, Joe_McCarthy from Ruqqus is back on Voat and posts some xxx nonsense [videos, not images] but you have to click on it to actually view it [there are no thumbnails etc. showing the nudity or pornographic content on Voat]). I think if he posted images it would appear in the thumbnail, however. I don't think he'll last that long because everyone hates this guy and downvotes his posts into oblivion.

I've had a look at the comments in some of my non-political subverses. The admin options are currently ('system', that is, the site administrator's account, has been changing these around lately): Pin, Unpin Set_NSFW, Unset_NSFW, Set_Adult, Unset_Adult, Set_Gore, Unset_Gore, Delete, Undelete, Ban, Unban

I have no idea how 'Gore' and 'Adult' relate to 'NSFW'. But 'Gore' and 'Adult' can only be marked on posts and not entire subverses. The showing of 'NSFW' and 'Adult' both appear to be marked on my account by default. There is no personal setting for 'Gore' (so it is probably subsumed by 'NSFW'). Because there are no private subverses either, I'm probably seeing all of the sites content when I view v/all. So if we had a subverse there, we could only really ban problematic individuals from it one-by-one (but we can't hide it from the entire community). There doesn't appear to be any kind of admin menu in order to see things like lists of banned users, admin changes.

Content: There is practically no Leftist content whatsoever (or Leftists in general).

There is some nonpolitical content which usually involves pictures of plants or animals belonging to the users. My nonpolitical subverses have very little activity, but there have been a few lengthy discussions between people over the subject matter that the subverses are about.

There is some humorous political content in the form of videos. This is probably the most upvoted kind of content. As examples, I shared a heap of ones I found in this post here, all of which come from Voat posts: https://saidit.net/s/debatealtright/comments/7wtl/clown_world_idiocracy/

There is only one obvious troll, 'Darkness', who purports to be a black man but his comment history is of someone clearly 'taking the piss', probably intentionally acting semi-literate and clearly not having done a fraction of all the ridiculous things he's claimed to have done.

Userbase are almost all Rightward of the GOP. They dislike Trump and are not the kind of people on patriots.win like Republican58. They're practically all J-woke. There are some anti-police attitudes which seem to be evidence of a horseshoe effect (such posts about 'pigs', etc.) Some users defend McCarthy's xxx posts on libertarian-free speech (don't like it, don't look at it) or slippery slope (we could ban it, but it might create a precedent) grounds but the majority clearly want him banned because it's degenerate (look at 'Jew_McCarthy' spreading this filth), it can be found anywhere (if I want to see xxx content, I'll go and look for it myself) and because of another slippery slope (if we don't ban it, it'll end up infesting the site and we're worried that people will eventually attack us with illegal stuff like CP).
