Voat actually used to be pretty decent, albeit with a very definite hard right leaning attitude. I went there when Reddit started to become the Democratic People's Republic of Reddit.

There was supposedly a DDOS attack over a post that cause puttitout (the owner/admin) to lock everything behind a login wall, and it started to go toxic hard right.

After a while I noticed even the normal stuff that showed up there was gone, and no one needs that much hate without any reason to explain it.

@SandiaMesa @realcaseyrollins There's also notabug.io, a (supposed) decentralized reddit-like that uses the old-but-not-really-old reddit frontend.
@realcaseyrollins @trf But the anal blue pills the media offers are sweet and addictive.

Oh, we're pawns, no question.

Examples:

1. Rioting after the killing of (who told them to do that?)
2. Coronavirus lockdowns (many, including Fauci, are now saying the lockdowns might not have helped, and it's time to open things up)
3. The media getting everyone to get mad at the Covington kids without even telling them what happened

Just a few examples I can think of off the top of my head. I just sit around watching the strings getting pulled and am waiting for people to break free.

If everyone turned off the society would be ten times better and I daresay violence would be down.

@trf@mstdn.social
Yeah. Well the way his complaints were ignored, everybody in the department need to be fired too. Nice to see that is siccing the on 'em, that was nice to see and honestly, I was surprised.

I haven't been around for that long (I'm only like 20) and I've only been following the news since like 2008, but these things tend to always spike during the summers of the general election season. Hopefully we see fewer unwarranted deaths in 2020 than we did in 2016.

@SandiaMesa
Maybe it's because they killed for literally no reason 😂

The extension was pretty kewl tbh

@trf@mstdn.social I don't agree with that narrative. If this sort of thing happened every day, no one would care, and there wouldn't be any rioting.

Some say "But these things just haven't been recorded until now!" But I'd be hard pressed to believe that the hood didn't have smartphones until five years ago.

I just wanna go to the library and read

BTW all you wackos screeching (All cops are bad):

I double-dare you to never call 9-1-1 in your life.
