This is why we can't have nice things. I agree with you.

Well said. All of it. I want to know what's actually going on, not have a circlejerk. And while we are at it, lets try to make everything about voat better than Reddit as well. I don't see it as a Reddit alternative. We are building something new. My small part is trying to help with better design for subs, specifically the banners. If you have a sub, or see a sub that needs a banner you can submit banner requests to /v/bannerrequests, or message a mod to request a banner for their sub. Also, if you are handy with graphic design or photoshop please feel free to subscribe and jump in to help out with the requests as they come in.

This is what happens when you get what you want --- people from reddit migrating to voat.

Who says we want people migrating from reddit to voat?
[–] WakkaWAKKA 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I don't. But it's probably going to happen anyway.
I apologize for my video-linkage. Spur of the moment and won't happen again.
Ride on, /v/meanwhileonreddit! Spectator sport of the year.

Don't apologize. I didn't have any one user or any one post in mind when I wrote that.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any and all shitposts I have made in your subverse. Particularly this one, since Brony hate is an old meme

I'll offer up /v/fort (Friends Of Reddit Transparency) for any and all reddit shitposting to deflect the low effort stuff, will you help promote it as a viable alternative in the sidebar?
This was IMO one of the biggest patterns missing on reddit, promoting a place to put the stuff you don't want in your sub.
If /r/worldnews promoted /r/worldpolitics for instance or /r/politics cooperated with /r/politic instead of fighting it.

It's a shame you can't have a way for mods of one subverse to move posts to another one. So you'd have a MeanwhileOnReddit.deleted as a default for mods move to. However they could also have /v/fort as an alternative if the mods of /v/fort allowed it.
So you wouldn't really have deletion, just moving.

Thanks for offering this. I'm going to seriously consider it.
[–] go1dfish 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I've also created /v/shitredditspez for documenting Spez's glorious new vision for reddit.
If only there was a way to have those dumb shitposts just in v/new without getting upvoated like crazy just because of their brevity.
Kinda comes down to one of the main issues with the voting model in general. No idea how that kind of thing can be fixed except really dedicated community members to keeping shit off the front page. But at the same time, there just isnt enough not-shit to populate the front page of any subverse at any given time, so the shit fills the gaps.

Very well said. Thank you!
