I love this community, but we should be splitting our time w/ TheGreatAwakening.Win, because it's going to redpill more normies than Voat The following is a criticism of VOAT,  NOT the greatawakening or QRV forums, which I love and appreciate, and honor for getting us where we are now. These communities have had to 'suffer' voat, and its constantly changing goalposts and ongoing problems. What I'm saying is VOAT is somewhat bullshit, and I predict we are going to exodus to thegreatawakening.win, but what would be ultimately better in my opinion, is for MODs of GA to work with MODs of GreatAwakening.Win (they could be the same people actually---or the admins of .WIN (thedonald.win)) to Sync the two websites.  As in, post to GreatAwakening.Win  <===>  Will stimulate a cross-post to <===> Voat.co/v/GreatAwakening and a post to Voat.co/v/GreatAwakening <===>  will stimulate a cross-post to <===> GreatAwakening.Win Why?  Voat issues 1) The site goes down all day long.   We can say why that is, or say "it's DDOSed all day" etc, but stop making excuses.  WIN has been ddosed also but it managed to pull through.   Yes it uses cloudfagg and it woudl be nice for WIN to use something else, but in the meantime it does work well enough to throttle win to a crawl but the site is still functional.  VOAT goes down for half a day and you just ahve to come back tomorrow or resign yourself in frustration and go to WIN 2) VOAT is not searchable.  Why?  Because voat is a deepstate trapdoor and always was.  We were forced to use this damned site because we were not welcome on reddit.  They "allowed" us to be here, but when stuff got intense..>OOOPSIE there goes VOAT for half a day, dysfunctional angry goat message or even a 503.  Unacceptable 3) VOAT has severe stalecaching problems.   thedonald.win has them also, but voats seem worse.  It interferes if you're trying to write or compose self / text posts that are like articles or exquisitions or screeds, high effortful posts, requireing editing for grammar, citation links, etc 4) VOAT was LOGIN ONLY until recently, and they even blocked new accounts.  The ONLY good thing about voat was the abililty to resurrect an account.  I like this idea, but it also means you can't ever nuke an account for good.   This was done to protect users, but it would have been better to give users privacy options to allow them to turn their posts into a kind of 4chan like site where they could post but their creds would be obfuscated to the world writ large, but 'visible' by friends or logged in users of a community. That way people can still express themselves but be protected by leftists and cancel culture karens. (there ought to be a legal right to nuke all the info you've ever put onto a site by warrant or request from a judge or something, but there isn't) WIN -- win is growing and the community feels "big".  They say that the_donald on reddit had close to 6M users (reddit artificially reported 300k), and I assume at least 1/2 of them have moved to thedonald.win and then it's probably grown from there, so I assume it's back to at least 4M users https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/62ltc9/rthe_donald_actually_has_6000000_subscribers_but/ Great Awakening . WIN  has the same number of users as thedonald.win, because .win sites are the new "Reddit" in a sense that the .win toplevel domain shares credentials for logins, so your account on thedonald.win carries over My account there, which is NOTHINGBERG, btw  (and I don't do direct messaging sorry, but if you comment on my posts I read about half of them and on a good day all of them--it's more of a time thing. I'm much more of a "post heavy" / linksharer  than a commenter) I'm also ghost_of_aswartz there too.  I have the two accounts.  I always create 2 just because I've been banned on sites like reddit before and I really don't  like it at all.  Because I'm always banned for doing normal things like sharing a link that a mod gets mad about, or they misread or misconstrue or misunderstand what I put in the title and think that it somehow obliquely violates the letter of the rules, and call me a shill/troll even if I have half a million upvotes for posting in said sub (its like, dude I'm a real person who is not really a fascist authoritarian and I have opinions ok, and I'm GOING To post something pro cannabis and pro psychedelics sometimes because I truly believe in my heart of hearts that they can help people.  I also think fentanyl and meth should get the death penalty--because they turn people into psychopaths....they are psychopathogenic drugs!)
