I've been thinking about this recently. When I took over this subverse, people seemed fairly enthusiastic for it. That's to be expected, because from their point of view, it was taking away a potential starting position from their SJW (boogeyman). I didn't take it to do that, though. I wanted to take something known for being a bad thing and turn it into a good thing. I like good things. I'm sick of hearing about how the world is shit and everyone is an SJW or if it's an SJW speaking then everyone is an evil MRA, or a misogynist or whatever's the pick of the day. I thought it would be nice to hear about the good things people say. Going by the name, yeah, I didn't expect that many people to post, but I was hoping to see a bit of an effort, and there have been barely any posts.
So I wonder whether this is being useful at all. There are few posts. The posts there are have no discussions. I think it's just taking up space. And as someone pointed out, whether it was my intention or not, claiming this particular subverse and defeating its original intent feeds the anti-SJW circlejerk that I'm sick to death of. And this isn't just me bitching about that or the lack of posts, I am actually going somewhere with this, which is this:
What do you want from this subverse? The current aim hasn't done anything, due to lack of posting. So I'm wondering if there isn't something better it could be used for, where it might be active instead of just being wasted space. If not, I'm giving it back. No reason to use up one of my 10 slots on a subverse that's dead in the water, and especially not one that makes people think I'm their boogeyman. So, please leave a comment with your thoughts, and I'll decide what to do based on that, if it seems like something that would work.

I want to see the funniest and most ridiculous things voaters say. What better way to shit on SRS than to turn their name from one of hate to one of community.

But you're missing the point. I didn't take this to shit on anyone. As I said. I just wanted to make something known for being bad into something good. Going out of our way to piss someone else off...what would be the point of that?

I'm not saying to piss someone off... I want to see this become a community pillar. It's gonna be hard, trust me, I know.

I don't really care what content is here, as long as it isn't censored and the sub isn't modded by SJWs.
[–] SpaceRosa [S] 4 points 0 points 4 points (+4|-4) ago
Don't SJWs deserve somewhere to have their say, too?
[–] AnTi90d 0 points 17 points 17 points (+17|-0) ago
Yes, it's called Reddit.

If they're ready for the down votes, sure.

I got downvoted for saying I didn't want to be raped by a muslim.
No. SJWs have Reddit and Tumblr. They don't get a forum for their heinous bullshit everywhere they are drug in on the bottom of someone's shoe.

Under absolutely no circumstances, no matter how strenuous, should it:
It should absolutely always:

What you need is more people, simply put.
I created /v/thatHappened to be the voat-alternative to the reddit sub(which I happen to think is a very good sub). It gets very few submissions and I tend to think it's because people would rather stick to their home base on reddit.
Still, be patient with Voat. Give it some time. The reddit admins have proven they cannot stop digging their own graves, so let e'm dig... and let Voat grow.

How about noteworthy shit voaters say? Things you would guild if you could. Could be for amazingly sourced comments, hilarious 1 liners, or whatever makes the comment worth sharing.
[–] SpaceRosa [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
It's currently for "good" comments. What is "good" is usually up to the poster, so those would be fine to post anyway. I made it fairly loosely defined here so that, hopefully, there wouldn't be a shortage of potential material.
[–] blackblarneystone ago
yep! just anything interesting or funny

That's true, but I thought it's had enough time to have at least some posts, which have not appeared. I think people just prefer it out of the hands of their phantom SJWs.

If you decide you don't want it, I would take that sub up for you and be the boogeyman

Let it be the most outrageous items from all camps and then let the commenters sort it out. The mod(s) should just stay on the sideline to keep it legal (in the sense of laws and Voat rules).
