are we *the place* for anons now? I know 4chan, 8chan/kun, voat and some of reddit all fell for us, is there anywhere else? was there?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
curious. i see some old school people breeze through and talk of the old days, i came in when reddit shut down the_donald.
This site will never ever come close to Voat but it’ll do.
I bet down voters were never at Voat.
Oh yes they were. I made a few comments and posts that got down voted into oblivion.
It was around 2019 … I voiced my concerns about Bill Barr. Holy fuk I got trashed by the echo chamber. Turns out ….
I meant the down votes for joe10jo’s comment. Not in general. I agree with joe’s comment.
And, Barr is just another traitor like Pense and way too many others. Free up vote for the Barr observation.
What did u like better about voat?
Too much pandering here. The posters ruled the roost there and kept it in line {a crazy and jagged line}
This place is an echo chamber for the most part with minor deviations. It doesn't mean it's bad necessarily, but it does mean you don't reconsider things from another viewpoint as often here.
And most importantly, voat users were just a step down from the anons on 4 Chan so there was a lot more digging and research going on with both sites overlapping
But it also takes those older Anons to teach the new. And only a select group of Anons still match things up to drops and such that we Mods Sticky daily. So if you need more digging, then one must do the work to educate. Lead on Anon because Where We Go One We Go All, together.
Well said!!
Great advice old skool anons give to newer anons that is often ignored: be careful who you follow.
The blind faith in sophists is only holding anons back by distracting them and occupying their time.
Can u give an example please.
Yes back then there was a lot more fresh areas to dig. However once a hole is dug, is there a need to re dig that same hole. Yes people can check to make sure that hole is properly dug but do we need to re dig it out. The way I see it back then there were a lot more fresh holes to dig. Not to say there isn't digging now, however now it's more about as the news happens, where as then it was more about as Q drops happen. Those Q drops all brought us here. Eventually though we dig less and start building right? Could we simply be coming to the building phase more and more.
Sure, but there's new people here who don't even know the drops and therefore don't know the research about those drops.
I still think it's important
Yes thats the beauty. As they read the new drops, they brings questions and we have a chance to re go over the drops with them. We get to check our work and have fresh eyes peer review it. However I don't think doing that for the sake.of doing it should necessarily be what we all are doing. I honestly feel we need to be forward thinking a little more rather than in a reactive state we currently are in. Yes we wanna still analyze the news as it comes, because we are the news...however we can begin thinking to arrest, past arrest, to the chaos and past the chaos. To what part we play, this place plays in the future.
Also as far as it being an echo chamber. I truly believe most outside the box thinking can be shared. U just gotta really get creative how u do it and do it in love.
Most dissenting comments get a lazy downvote if it doesn't jibe with their thinking.
That's not really what a downvote is for in my opinion.
Discussion should be the outcome of dissenting opinions and increasingly it just isn't the case here.
Of course there are still great discussions to be had within this framework, and some of the pitfalls of voat are avoided by operating in this manner.
Two different worlds I suppose
So I partially agree with you. I believe people should definitely seek to engage in more constructive discussions with the views they might not believe. Doing it in a loving way that furthers dialogue..As far as downvotes... I think thick skin is a super important layer to any truth spread person. If we let a downvote discourage discussion then how much more will we allow it to effect us in real life, when people begin to allow emotions to flow as we share truth. It's all part of the building up the digital warriors. It all plays a part. Even those here to discourage us thru downvotes(as in that's there only purpose) are really only building up a stronger digital warriors that can then begin spreading truth in the world.
Also it's kind of a lead by example thing to. People notice our actions. So the more than seek to have that dialogue then the more that will want to join in. Sometimes I simply take the outsider approach even if I agree with the current topic taking place.
Free speech no mods
Negative. I understand the sentiment, but we would be over-run by shills and degenerates. I remember when 8kun went without ‘bakers’ for a week and the child porn and gore porn was off the charts.
The mod aspect is important though to keep the garbage out. Alot of the work that has taken place here has been because of the excellent mods here. I don't think that free for all would last long before it gets overrun. Especially a Q focused board.
I think it's about having the right mods. 😁😉
Qrv had a lot of brigading, which was annoying and designed to turn away normies, but it had the assurance of a true free speech platform where important posts even very controversial ones could be heard. Of course now the operation is in a different phase where normies need to be able to visit these boards and not be immediately offended by some brigade posts, so I understand the need for mods although it does annoy me at times
Voat was absolutely and unabashedly for free speech until the bitter end. I intentionally tried to get my account banned for a few years, when I first started, by consistently posting the most belligerent and extreme opinions I could muster. Nothing ever happened. I made a few enemies, at first, but by the end everyone more or less came around and it was pretty chill. This led to A LOT of genuine discussion and research. That doesn't really happen here, anymore, because we all have to walk on egg shells.
If I called people "niggerfaggot" (that's what voat ogs called each other, as a form of comradery/endearment) around these parts, you will quickly piss off the wrong jannie and have your account nuked. That just didn't happen on voat. Not until it went sideways. The point was that the substance of everyone's comments were what mattered, not whether it was delivered politely enough. I remember 4chan tried to raid us, once, and we didn't even notice until after the fact, because they just blended right in lol
I came over from voat, and learned about 8 Chan and then 4 Chan. Voat was home base and I would always check 8 Chan. I thought 8 Chan was a bit hard to find the main pages with all the boxes they were showing. Anyway, after voat stopped, I found great Awakening and I’ve been here ever since.
Don’t forget CBTS_Stream.
It was sad when Zerohedge had one of its founders doxxed and became incomprehensibly schizophrenic after.
There are still some other independent, awoken forums out there.
Never knew that one…
I view all of those places as kinda filters to this place. This place is special..this is where we win :)
I see what you did there chaplain. 😁
Lol 😆
Yep and we win then we begin bringing others to the winning side. One could say we have Scored a lot since this place began expanding 😆
Now I'm just having fun haha
Yeah, I remember when posts would rarely get over 100 updoots.
The fog of war is pretty thick in here but, if you want to compare to MSM, this is clear as day...
Exactly right
Idk why you think 8chan is gone https://8kun.top/qresearch/catalog.html
I’m definitely there more often than here. 4chan ->pol/ptg/ (pro trump general) you have the most free speech and can have decent discussions but it’s more for laughing at current news articles and heavily shilled. 8kun has relatively less free speech than 4chan but quality research/notables posted multiple times a day based on daily/current news.
This place is more for the masses, quality all around and good news/current event discussions. I like all 3 of those places and check them out usually a couple times a day.
both because I did not look closely enough and that format is almost panic inducing. how active is it?
Here is the active bread at the moment https://8kun.top/qresearch/res/19399309.html
I've quickly scraped their notables just now and posted my findings on here. It's not as active as it was when Q was posting but it's active enough to not miss much imo.
One unique thingy I like about GAW is the gifs.
Like, like: u/#crumbs
right on, tyvm
yw fren
LOL ! Yes, you are 100% right about that. Especially during heavy news cycles. Its almost impossible to keep up.
a good thing I find is to turn off auto-update option down at the bottom of the bread. Helps to read it and update as u need
Or just wait for the notables and skim those
Hahaha … funny you said that, I turned off the auto update a few days ago and wound up almost a bread and a half behind 😂
Kek!
I love that place.
......depends on who you ask. Some say this place is as controlled as the rest. The fog is thick these days....
I joined here right around the time they quarantined/banned the_donald on reddit
At least for Q stuff this is one of the bigger public communities
I was never on the_donald, but I was on Voat. There was QRV and GreatAwakening on Voat. I never felt worthy to post my stuff on QRV, so I stuck to GreatAwakening. Even so, there was a lot that was shared there, and with style and grace. When GreatAwakening was shut down around Christmas of 2020(?), I came here. Didn't like it much here at first, but adapted. Now I like it a lot here, but it is not Voat. (Sometimes I wonder how Voat got its name. It sounds like Vote, but it is spelled like goat. A goat is not a sheep, and there are negative connotations with goats. Of course there are negative connotations with frogs too, so there's that.)
I totally forgot about QRV.
Yeah totally anonymous
Hell yes! QRV! I totally forgot about that too.
I always wondered about the name as well. It was interesting they shut it down right after election 2020. Once the votes came in. Led a lot of people to .won though
That was the point. We're weren't sheep: we were motherfucking goats. Belligerent, loud, and obnoxious lovable retards and we liked it that way.
I came over from voat and remember when voat was under attack from tranny porn posts. Voat was great but when things started to fall it fell pretty quick. Getting the banhammer posts etc and the war with previous mods etc.
BTW,, poal.co was another life raft for voat refugees like myself. Its still up but I mainly hang out here.
been following since halfchan q started. end up here out of simplicity most of the time
I woke up in summer 2018. I began on the original Q forum on Reddit - I think it was called "Great Awakening". How smug we were - I never dreamed in a million years they could dare to shut us down. This was America!! Censorship was not allowed! Well, by September 2018, they did indeed shut us down, and I followed everyone to Voat. Then I took a clue and tested the water, browsing around 8CHAN, which eventually turned into 8KUN. I learned what I needed to know. When GA started up here on .win, I was here in a flash. What was also amazing is that, for a short time back in 2020, Twitter became saturated with anons. Then came the great social media purge of late 2020 and 2021. What a wild ride.
There's also poal.
I never go there anymore.
I like here better. But if this place goes down, poal is the only other place I know. I guess truth social, but obviously not anonymous, so different.
Yeah i agree with you here. Didn’t love poal but that’s the first place I went to from voat shutdown. I do like /ptg/ on 4chan and 8kun/qresearch too but those imageboards can be intimidating for some
Haha yeah good time 😁 don't wanna forget poal
Truth Social would the only valid backup. Im active on Truth Social as I am on here.
How does one see all the replies on Truth Social?
Click the view replies beneath the post.
I don't see a View Replies under the post..
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110928696441769027
That's because it doesn't have any, only re-truths and likes.
It comes up automatically or should. I clicked on that link and scrolled down, there are replies. I am logged in though, maybe you need to be logged in, if you aren't.
None have the fun and High Energy of The_Donald!
The_Donald was on voat, for a time. During the highest of energy times, even.
I found voat later after they killed The_Donald on reddit. At first I did not like voat, b/c frankly it was vile! But when I found the sub-voats with our own goats, I felt at home! Then they killed voat, and then I found THIS place, which is now HOME!
Thanks to all goats, frens, pepes, anons, autists, and other refugees! WE are HERE and we aren't going away.
