Hello and welcome to Voat!
Don't be a shy! Start making comments in here to earn your needed minimum 10CCP and then start a post to introduce yourself to other Voaters!
Please explore Voat to find subverses that interest you. If you don't find what you are looking for, perhaps you should create it! In addition, if you find a subverse that seems abandoned, you can request to adopt it. If you do create a new sub or adopt one, you can announce it. Once you have a subverse, you may want to add a custom theme for it.
You can disable custom CSS in your account management options to just see the default interface if you choose. Voat also has a Night Mode as yet another option and many users seem to prefer it! In here as well you will be able to add your email for password recovery (Voat will never use or sell this information).
Your Voat experience can be whatever you want to make it, so make the most of it!
Sub Rule: This sub is for making your introduction post as a new user and for welcoming new users in the comments; posts asking for or offering free upvotes is bad form, Off-Topic to the sub, and subject to deletion
Sub Guideline: Wheaton's Law; if someone is rude, ignore or let them know with your vote, mods don't police "politeness"
Contribution Points
You have two kinds of contribution points: Submission Contribution Points (SCP) and Comment Contribution Points (CCP).
- CCP is what allows you to vote on posts/comments and everyone starts with 10 free upvotes per day; the more CCP you get, the more you can vote.
- SCP doesn't do much for now but there are plans for down the road, and you get one free upvote with every post.
Votes are associated with your IP address: you cannot vote on the same post/comment using alternate accounts; only the first vote will be counted.

~PRO TIP 1: A great way to quickly gain CCP is to hang out here and greet other newcomers when they post. You are also helping them, so everyone wins!
~PRO TIP 2: You don't have to keep that password you created during the registration process--click the cog wheel by your name and change it!

Oh wow, how did you find out about Voat if not from that site? I'm curious.
[–] novareason [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Mentioned it in news stories. I'm an omnivore when it comes to news, and I read stuff about the death of Reddit that mentioned it.

Plenty. ^^ Aww, philosophy, news, science, atheism, gaming, funny, puppies... And that's just the SFW shit I like. ^^

Is it okay to ID yourself on this site? It seems so taboo, unless it's an AMA.

If anyone can really figure out exactly who I am from this, good on them. Given that I'm not sitting here spouting off hate speech, I'm not overly worried that I'm going to get doxxed anyways. I mean, are people on this site that bad? Everyone seems reasonable, so far.

Everyone is outrageously reasonable its amazing. It cant possibly last so enjoy it while you can. Although we will try our darndest to keep it this way.

Welcome :D whats it like being a male nurse in what I imagine being a very feminine field? Or am I totally off base with that one?
[–] novareason [S] ago
It's not that bad, actually. I've only had one patient in 9 years tell me they had a problem with having a male nurse, and that woman was legit clinically insane. But overall, the job itself is rewarding. It's nice knowing that you're helping people in a meaningful way, and I've had a small number of patient interactions that I can say changed my life for the better.
[–] FireFlyCGI ago
Well that's awesome you get job satisfaction at the end of the day :D

if you find lifting up fat cunts to clean them feminine then go ahead.
Being male nurse is hard work I hear and not really womanly at all also the nurses are the ones who actually care about there patients the doctors are just assholes doing the rounds
[–] FireFlyCGI ago (edited ago)
It was a very valid question, just i'd think being in construction was a very masculine job, I know women do work in that field but it isn't that common, this is a very similar example to nurse. I was just looking for another perspective is all.
