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!

Corporate entities don't bother me nearly as much as this bizarre "Liberalism as God" SJW shit. I'm a liberal in most of the hot button topics, but I don't delude myself into thinking that the next president should be a transgender lesbian anarchist with autism and ptsd from that one time someone on 4cham told her to fuck off, aka "literally raped".

I keep running into you and agreeing with everything you say!
I hate that I have to keep channeling my grandfather by saying how political correctness is out of control and that the left is ruining the world, but it's getting more and more true every day.
[–] RTV 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
It's because I'm a secret genius or some shite. And I kinda feel like both the left and the right are ruining the world. I know that sounds super edgy and deep-angsty but I did just get hired at a pizza hut, so I do feel qualified to comment on complex ideas of free speech and accountability.

It is not even really liberalism. Its like this bastard child between extreme feminism and the millennial concept of "nothing is my fault."
[–] RTV 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Agreed. It masquerades as liberalism, but you're correct, id wager.

Liberalism? but laissez-faire capitalism is a tool of the oppressor...

member for two hours. I think the "trolls" have arrived too. Look at you trying to spin the conversation so subtly.

I'll have you know i've put all my stat points in subtlety, nerd lord.

I;m jumping over here because I like startups. I know this will make me sound like a plant...
BUT - What's the big hubbub? they are very clear that they classify harassment as systemic and continued actions, NOT calling someone a dipshit or a nigger once.
So me getting in an argument? That (seems) to be fine.
Me posting hate-speech on every ingle one of your comments for a month/exposing private things about you? That's bad
Or maybe they'll just slowly change things and then make it filled with SJW, however people don't realize that tumblr has lots of shit on it too. It just has better PR about it. Tumblr has blogs devoted to the columbine shooting and praising it, neo-nazis, etc.
