A subverse for discussing all things related to Free/Libre and Open Source software built for Android.

The primary source of FLOSS for Android is the F-Droid project. A prettier web interface for the F-Droid repository is fossdroid.com.

The name was chosen according to Richard Stallman's statements regarding Free/Libre software and Open Source software; as the purpose of this sub is not to exclude either Open Source or Free/Libre software, FLOSS is used. While discussion about the merits or shortcomings of either Open Source or Free/Libre software is welcome, it is not the main purpose of this subverse.

--Rules--

Pirated content is not FLOSS. Do not post links to pirated content.

Please only post content relating to both Android and FLOSS.

global sticky Attention Q Reddit / r/GA Folks (whatever)

submitted 3 days ago by PuttItOut to whatever (+941|-16)

1068 comments

I notice that many of you have commented (because you can barely do anything else) asking why you don't have CCP (Comment Contribution Points). So I want to explain because I feel bad that this wasn't brought to your attention earlier.

Voat limits all new accounts for reasons of SPAM. To unlock your account you must earn CCP by commenting and having others upvote your contributions. It is orders more difficult for a botnet to unlock accounts with this requirement in place and is why we use this particular method.

For example: You need 10 CCP to make a submission or send a message. You need 100 CCP to unlock downvoat capabilities.

The reason you don't have any CCP is because the moderator(s) set a particular subverse property that prevents the earning of points in v/theawakening.

This subverse property is called: Minimum CCP required to downvote and when it is set to anything but zero three things happen (which are documented in the subverse settings. This information is also displayed in the sidebar so you can see what subverses have set what values):

It prevents users who don't have at least X CCP in the subverse itself from downvoating content in that subverse.
It prevents all submissions from showing up in v/all (basically making the subverse private).
It prevents contribution points from accruing (This is an anti-farming measure).

No one has earned points in v/theawakening since this setting was set to 5.

I hope this helps you understand why.

Edit 5:

This post has been stickied again because people still have questions. This will be the last day of this sticky, I promise.

Edit 4:

Read #3 first. So here is my argument: They aren't super web savvy and reddit/voat layout is not that bad of a tool for what they are doing. They were directed to an image board. You all know that's a big jump coming from Reddit. The natural place is here. It's your call Voat always has been and always will be, but maybe we could learn a bit from them, and them us. Think about it.

Edit 3:

I'm just going to say that the back and forth I've had tonight with subscribers of v/theawakening have been the most pleasurable I've had on Voat. (Maybe I have low standards or you're just good people). I'm voting to keep them. Can we Voat? You owe me this one! ;)

Edit 2:

As @MAGAKAG2020Q mentions below and is important to note: This setting can not be instantly switched. It is on a time delay of 48 hours.
