Many of the folks on TDW would never have lasted on Voat. Certainly at the time QRV was stood up. And definitely from Reddit an earlier. When Pizzagate started 4.5 years ago, no one fathomed we’d be where we are today.
What the OP is stating, that I’ve maintained for a long time, is that Voat v/PG primarily was used to get researchers (like myself) to aggregate content relating to the fringiest theories. Possibly for later prosecution.
When Q came along, it was a natural extension for those of us who fell down the rabbit whole w the Podesta leaks.
Then Q validated much of our Pizzagate theories. And then the Reddit refugees came. Our community grew.
Now with the shutdown of Voat, we’ve come to be the guidestars to an even larger audience.
We’re not fully accepted on TDW, but our now learned knowledge will continue to be disseminated to a much broader community.
Yes, this is information warfare.
I was actually the person who came up with the rules for v/PG...it wasn't popular at first but I'd seen first hand over many years how "they" ruin a community. I'm glad I stood my ground on that and that people eventually saw the wisdom of it.
I actually believe PizzaGate was a test run for Q. They threw that info out into the wilderness and waited to see where it took root and grew. That place was Voat. Q sent people to Voat ultimately. And here we are.
Little known fact amongst most Q people that came to Voat about that time...but Voat was in bad shape financially and was about to shut down. Then the "angel investor" appeared. Almost simultaneously with PizzaGate...I could be wrong, but maybe I'm not...
As Putt said in his explanation of why Voat was being shut down..."Voat's served it's purpose anyways."
What a crazy ride it's been. Thanks for your contribution. Were you the same handle there? I was a v/PG mod at one point - short lived, thankfully.
I'm not so sure about Pizzagate being a test run for Q. Unless you mean to prepare how people will collect information, convert it to intelligence, and disseminate through the right channels. That is a possibility.
Notice almost none of the hit pieces online and MSM ever routed anyone to v/PG or v/GA. The information was generally very accurate and the comments moreso redpilling.
It's the next phase of the battle. TDW must have a ton of subscribers to make it into the top 400 websites. We've honed our tradecraft and messaging and make GA.win 10X the size of v/GA or PG. Both sat around 20K or so subscribers IIRC.
Yes, I was the same handle there. It's an oddly specific handle, don't you think?
That's exactly what I mean. There were several other places that could have been "the place" pizzagate went to, but...for various reasons...it went to Voat.
Remember, that was all before Q was a thing. If you were about to launch "the greatest military intelligence operation" wouldn't you test out some things first? I believe that's what pizzagate was...in broad strokes.
And it makes sense...given Voat's "immune system" only the toughest and most dedicated would have stuck around and made a safe place for pizzagate researchers.
It makes a lot more sense when you realize that information tends to run from the chans to "someplace" to TheDonald, to twitter, to alternative sites, to "mainstream". That "someplace" ended up being Voat.
Not that we can ever know this...but I think a lot of what you eventually saw on Twitter and TheDonald started on Voat. I think that a lot Twitter accounts that you think of as Q accounts visited Voat alot.
I think of Voat as a "quality over quantity" sort of place. It wasn't as big as Twitter or TheDonald...but a lot of what you saw eventually get to those places was filtered through Voat.
Alas, there must have been a reason Voat was chosen as the place to go after Reddit, and it certainly wasn't because it was ever going to be "the next Reddit"...in terms of size...I believe that honor will belong to .win
Where we are currently having this conversation...funny how it's all worked out.
I've shared all of your sentiments over the last 4.5 years. One thing which stuck out to me were the number of DDOS attempts on Voat, all of which fell short. Given the information being collated and analyzed, especially v/PG, no attempts to deplatform were successful. To me this indicates that there was a level of protection for Voat, not afforded to other "free speech" websites.
