I think that was George Carlin. What happened yesterday? Everybody's getting ready for the holidays I guess. Now that Voat is closing we may be seeing some words that have never been used on saiddit before. I wonder about the real story there.

It's been misattributed to many, including Emma Goldman, Mark Twain, etc.

I didn't notice anything yesterday. But I'm rarely up on all the latest nor the pulse.

New words? Unlikely. New contexts with new culture? Perhaps.

Ya someone pointed out they had lots of crypto, yet said they're closing for financial reasons - meanwhile they didn't bother asking for donations. Very sketchy.

Only conjecture but isn't it possible voat was a honeypot for raging antisemites and white supremacists? I know that idea has been put forward before.

Plausible. However, if it's for containment then it's stupid to destroy their own trap.

I saw those three words on my post. Was a little surprised.
