This community is in urgent need of some positive PR outreach projects; to help shape the general public's perception of what OUR community stands for. I say this with urgency - as it may be a brief matter of time before a news organization makes a scathing "investigative journalism" news segment about how this community has subversus for petite porn, legal teens, girl with braces, and hates fat people.
<p>This site stands for far more than the edgy content it's becoming known for. The Co-founders are working diligently 24/7 to keep this site functioning; and they are doing an AMAZING job. So, I ask all my fellow Voat content creators/think tank, how can we activate the Voat Social Media Platform, and act individually as stewards to promote free speech in our online and offline communities?<p>Examples: Perhaps, we do a Free Speech Day similar to the other site's global meet up day? Let's get some prominent communications professors and activists for Free Speech to do AMA's on here. Who knows/has connections with their University's research professors? Would they be willing to discuss their findings in /v/science, /v/biology, v/futurology, v/programming, and etc... fields? Who knows the robotics team at their local university perhaps they would be willing to engage the community in /v/technology or do an AMA to push the discussions there to a whole new level? Let's work together and make this community unique, engaging, and trans-formative - in a more positive light.<p>Now go fap (now that you've been reminded about the petite/braces/legal stuff), then bash on the obese, and come back with your best suggestions.<p> Seriously, from a marketing/PR stand point what could shape the public's perception, and result in positive headlines.

Don't shift public perception. Let them think we're all trash. If the people too fucking stupid to learn for themselves join, we will become reddit.
