The rank is calculated using a proprietary methodology that combines a site's estimated average of daily unique visitors and its estimated number of pageviews over the past 3 months.

https://support.alexa.com/hc/en-us/articles/200449744-How-are-Alexa-s-traffic-rankings-determined-:

Traffic Ranks are updated daily. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single Pageview. The site with the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews is ranked #1.

Fair enough.

I will be very honest with you on this one. I left with no intention of returning. There's nothing there I left behind. I've not really much interest in that site or I'd still be there. The flooding of the site with the undesirables from Reddit completely sank the site from what was once a promising future.

The future it now promises is just not my sort of place, so I don't worry about what it does. I'm good with that. It will be what it will be. The future that is its future is not the promise of other sites. I don't want to be there when they harvest what they have sown as those to me seem the real sour grapes.

Very good posts! Applauds!

How childish (silly and immature) and nearly idiotic:

Weeee! Voat is flying now. It feels like Freedom.

And, yes:

If you can, please donate to help us keep Voat running and free. As a thank you, we will display a donor badge on your profile.
You can also donate Bitcoin. On checkout, please mention your Voat username if you want the donor badge.

In a nutshell: "Give us money and get nothing." Very clever...

[MSL]

  Only the fact that they allow idiotisms like fat people hate (voat.co/v/fatpeoplehate) is enough to show all the immature, deviant and evil nature of voat.co. If fat people hate isn't enough, then the racism, pedophilia (like lolicon) and so on are there to make it quite clear.

Downvoting is being abused

He (the Bosnian Muslim Atif Colo) is showing again how slow is he. At last he admits that "downvoting is being abused" on Voat.co!

I can't expect more from a person like this Bosnian Muslim, who banned this website with a lie ('spam'), who is allowing bad, evil things like racism, hatred and sorts of pedophilic subverses! He is just slow, irresponsible and not good!

I can't expect more from a person like this Bosnian Muslim, who banned this website with a lie ('spam'), who is allowing bad, evil things like racism, hatred and sorts of pedophilic subverses! He is just slow, irresponsible and not good!

A person had 3 accounts banned in Voat.co! He said "I've had 3 accounts banned from posting for absolutely no reason and it's being done in a shady way. Voat is using censorship. It's coming directly from Atko too." Atko is Atif Colo (a Bosnian Muslim). That person shows that every account he uses is being banned. He explains that "This requires direct action from @Atko himself, so the owner of this site is using shady tactics to censor people. This is censorship." He also adds that "I'll post YouTube videos with screen recording software to prove everything. I'll make sure everybody knows about this." So I decided to help him or her to spread the truth and I inform about it our members, visitors, readers, friends and supporters here.

pizzagate voat and voat pizzagate

It's something new -- voat pizzagate, pizzagate voat. (I'm talking about the v/pizzagate in voat.co). Something related -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/11/23/fearing-yet-another-witch-hunt-reddit-bans-pizzagate/?utm_term=.0435248ce76b.
 
Yes, the reddit.com's r/pizzagate was banned:

This community has been banned

This subreddit was banned due to a violation of our content policy, specifically, the proliferation of personal and confidential information. We don’t want witchhunts on our site.

.

So, the so called pizzagate has gone to Voat.co following the decision by Reddit admins to stop/ban it over there, i.e. it has now moved from Reddit.com to Voat.co and this why we can notice some more traffic to voat.co these days, but I think in the future it will continue to drop/decrease, because you know that the administrators (owners) -- atko and puttitout permit there a lot of bad things, and they can't manage it well. Recently they're begging the voaters (their own visitors and members) again for more money!

[Gay]

Because of the Reddit bans, Voat got more new users and that's the reason they're with some chance to become a leading website, but as far as they allow abnormal people there... I'm not sure.

Some deleted there (but archived)  posts of one of the abnormal ex-voaters (flussence):

"Reddits lack of code review allows an anonymous troll to get infantile insults displayed on the front page for almost a month

Nope. It looks like they're using some crowdsourced translation website for this, and then one of Reddit's own blindly imports the stuff in bulk. I can understand not even doing a cursory skim for the foreign languages, but English?

Someone put "Because its better then voat.co" (including typos) as the first random message displayed on the create-a-subreddit button, and it was shown to everyone who had their language set as Canadian English. Somehow, this stayed there for almost four weeks.

"

And a related comment from a voater 'dorven':

"There was one displaying the other day that said "...because you hate freedom." I thought it was just spez being an ironic assmunch, but I guess they just don't bother to do quality control. (I should have known!)"

I'm not familiar with the Reddit's codebase, but I think Reddit is a real leading website, which I can't say now for Voat (voat.co).

And another from the ex-voater "Lysergia": "So the question now is was there an influx of Canadians this past month?"



Another one from the abnormal ex-voater:

"Do you think the default subs here are going to be overrun by power users eventually?

I know quite a few people block the defaults already for various reasons. You've probably noticed that a large portion of submissions to those subverses are already made by a tiny handful of users, ones who tend to have SCP an order or two of magnitude higher than their CCP.

These types of users were the main reason for Digg's demise, and contributed heavily to Reddit's too when they started throwing their weight around toward the end. Do you think we can avoid the same fate? Or is it already too late?

Sorry if you felt targeted by the post, that's not the intent. I know you're pretty active and I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

There's a difference between people doing it for benign reasons and those who see it as a sport to maximize their imaginary internet points, but it's nearly impossible to nail down a simple mechanical definition of that difference. If it was that easy, the spam killers would have a much easier job...

"

Related from ex-voater "pompousjohn": "I don't think there's going to be a huge problem since there is a limit of 10 subs per user to mod. Yes default subs kind of give default mods an unfair advantage but I can't imagine we could get along without them.

As far as having higher SCP than CCP I think there's just a big vacuum for quality submissions here, even "meh" submissions that aren't just plain garbage get a lot of attention. I made a new sub last night on a spark of inspiration (v/crapperthoughts) and the intro post got more upvoats then my sub even has subscribers, which was shocking, I expected it to be completely ignored.

So, make a sub, somebody's gotta post, why not the top mod? You have to make one anyway. People respond you make more posts. You look at the scores, see what people like, make more like that, watch your sub grow, eventually if you stick to it you become a "power user" why? because you contribute stuff that does well. It's not like others can't do the same.

But you can't make 100's of subs and sit as top mod for all of them, there's a limit of 10. And no matter how powerful you are your votes don't have any more or less power than anyone else's so, it's not going to be like Digg where some votes have more weight, or like Reddit where one Mod can control a huge part of the front page.

"

Next from the abnormal ex-voater:

"Give username links a serif/"programming" monospace font and vary the colors according to account age, to foil impersonators

1iIl oO0 S5 mrn <== (some of) these are really hard to distinguish, especially in all-caps names.



Hopefully this makes the colors idea sound better. Instead of singling out all new users, it'd only draw attention to similar-looking names registered a long time apart.

1iIl oO0 S5 mrn"

Related from the ex-voater 'musa_acuminata': "Serif fonts use extra lines to make the difference between similar letters like I (upper case i) and l (lower case L) visible. In such a font, the former would have small horizontal lines on the top and bottom, making it immediately recognizable as an upper case 'i'. Other variations may include a tail-like figure on an O, or a diagonal line through the number 0. S might have a similar tail, or 5 might have distict hard angles.

As far as the color idea, that would most easily be implemented as new accounts appearing as, for example, red, and then fading to colors higher up the spectrum as they age. All accounts above a certain age would share a final color, such as blue."

Next from the abnormal ex-voater:

"When someone keeps reposting recently heavily downvoted spam, copy the old score to the new messages.

If they do it on their first post, or while their account's at negative CCP, autoban them without posting the comment.

This effectively caps Amalek/MH101 to a maximum of one post per signup.

That's too simple; a troll could easily post a comment like "Yes" and send it to -50. It'd have to consider banned accounts only.

Yeah, it'd have to be less of a hair-trigger than that. Combine this with something like /v/ideasforvoat/comments/423369 and I think we might have a workable system.

"

Next from the abnormal ex-voater:

"Do you think AskVoats sudden new direction of superficially copying everything they can from this sub is real, or only a shameless attempt to claw back mindshare?

I'll wait it out and see. I predict another shitstorm with all the other mods still there.

I'm still not entirely sure what protectvoat's real objective is, they seem to mildly hate everyone equally. But I'm going to give it and @reow both the benefit of the doubt until either royally fucks up.

"

Related from the ex-voater 'bmw2go11': "The latter."

The next from the abnormal guy: "Blocking a subverse doesnt prevent people from pinging you in it"

The next one from the abnormal person: "Deleting ones own highest/lowest rated posts should cause an equal and opposite reaction.

This is more of a thought experiment than anything, but maybe it could be an alternative to the no-refunds deletions currently planned.

If you delete a comment, in addition to what currently happens, the system will pick a post at the opposite end of your comment spectrum and zero its vote total too (but keeping the message itself and its vote history unchanged).

In other words, deleting your posts always takes you closer to a neutral zero, and has a cost proportional to the value of your comment history. This would hopefully put a stop to casual whitewashing of post history; it'd also make life harder for the sort of people who currently abuse the site's "right to be forgotten" to get away with downvote-worthy things.

(also, getting that DDoS check page right when I click the submit button and losing the entire post is kinda annoying)


I thought I made it clear this would not delete the other message, only the votes.

I can see why this isn't a popular idea after thinking more about it; it's too complicated, both for the regular users and taxing on the server. Probably for the best that it got largely ignored."

Related from 2 ex-voaters: 'silvester' and 'Mokum':

Silvester: "And why would it do this? To what effect?

If I want to delete something, I don't want a system arbitrarily picking something else to also delete. I've deleted a post I've made in the past, not really paying attention to if it was up or down voated, but I certainly wouldn't want it to delete something else.

I missread."

Mokum: "not sure if you're aware, but deleting now makes it so the CCP/SCP stays -regardless of neg. or pos."

The next from the abnormal one: "For a few minutes, my vote counts in the top bar were almost perfect"

The next one from the same abnormal man: "(xpost /v/bugs) Blocking a subverse doesnt prevent people from pinging you in it

Some of the trolls have been using this tactic for the past month to flood the inboxes of those they don't like, including me and a dozen other /v/ReportSpammers volunteers. They set up proxy subverses, set the downvote limits on them impossibly high to grant themselves immunity to the consequences, then commence flooding the comments.

Now I'm not saying Voat is intentionally sheltering spammers and other forms of excrement, but they're obviously getting a free ride here as long as the higher-ups refuse to acknowledge the total shitshow this site has become. Do something about it already.

Fair enough."

Another one from the abnormal ex-voater: "Give us options to hide new users (< X days old) entirely

I'd be grateful to not have to waste time clicking a hidden downvoted comment only to realise it's the same spam as usual...

I kinda agree. It's more intended as a last-resort mercy for the guys doing most of the work at /v/ReportSpammers and getting their inboxes flooded with hate constantly. Would be off by default."

And more here from the abnormal:

"“ Dont stare into the beam. ”"

"for you"

"I still think nobody will outdo what /v/Moderatoria once had"

"I can swallow a whole 13 inch pizza in one sitting and feel no shame, only regret

Checkmate catholic atheists"

"maybe I'm too sober today

need to get shitfaced and go on a rampage."

"But you can ping many inboxes. Spread the nutbutter around

@homersimpson @amalek456 @she"

"pfft, I wasn't calling you decent."

"It was probably /u/forurbutthurt"

"ISIS is pretty much a 100% chance"

"Because even in the distant future, speech synthesis software will still suck."

"This reads like the navy seals copypasta."

"He sure is ragingly insecure about his sexuality, ain't he?"

"The ones I went to back in the day did that. Retards were present but didn't interact with the rest; they had constant supervision and were kept in separate rooms. The conspicuous ones were, anyway."

"Wow, you mean I can cause tangible, measurable bodily harm to someone purely by typing words at them through a screen? Through the power of ASCII alone I can hold someone's head underwater, maybe even poz them up the shitter?

I can finally stab people in the face over the internet?! Fuckin' sweet. Time to give SJWs the brutal murdering they deserve.

oh wait"

"I think I'll pass."

"I agree with your definition, but unfortunately the one that often gets used and acted upon today is a synonym for crab mentality."

"But what if the human has recessive genes and the kid is completely fish?"

"Acupuncture!"

"It's because statistically, more people think you're an asshole than agree with you. Try some reflection instead of looking for excuses to blame others for the deficiencies in your own shallow personality."

"I wonder if I can get banned from way over here...

HEY FPH I HAVE PANTS WITH A 48 INCH WAIST"

"You're a stuck record."

"That's an awful lot of projecting you're doing based on zero facts.

Then again, I guess you'd capitalize on the one skill you have."

"That makes you just as guilty for remaining here, no?"

"Most of your upvotes come from /v/niggers and none of them have broken three digits.

Pathetic, delusional liar."

"All I see is a whiny fascist getting his just desserts."

"If only. That'd mean they've solved the mystery of being able to launch millions of tons at escape velocity within their pocket change budget.

It'd also backfire horribly for you, because that'd mean they could afford to colonize the planet."

"

And let's finish it with some more comments of this abnormal ex-voater:

"It's fun to note that, while it does happen (frequently from targeted attacks [why do the enemies of that site have those images ready to post?]), 8chan is an order of magnitude more proactive about removing that stuff from its site than Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, Google etc."

"Professional Redditor encounters a mirror"

"Can we get the actual Onion to do a piece satirizing Reddit now? I think it's well past ripe for one."

"Practice what you preach. Stormfront is that way -->"

"And you're just a prat."

"That's a whole lot of waffling but half of it is argued from ignorance, or flat out wrong, and the other half has no substance whatsoever."

[Non-SEO]

The most important is to keep as objective as possible point of view to voat.co and to the voaters (and ex-voaters). For sure many of them were/are abnormal and not good, but there were some good or just appearantly normal people.

So, let's show some of the archived posts of these more normal and better ex-voaters.

DOJ Helping Law Enforcement Agencies Fight Back Against Asset Forfeiture Reform by Lysergia in news

If it was used properly it wouldn't be that surprising. I can't believe the law was drafted in a way that allowed them to take money from people that have nothing else on them that indicates they are a drug trafficker.

No problem. I believe those drugs influence this art tremendously and I think everyone should experience some type of trip at least once. It's not really about doing it a lot or regularly; just experiencing it once can really be a life changer.

Glad to see you posting on Voat. I was just going to post this because of how concerning it is. Soon TPTB will not need any help persuading the average US citizen into supporting gun control legislation.

Edit: looks like you never stopped posting.

Yeah it's actually some really good artwork. You should try taking LSD sometime and see what inspires these artists.

I bet the FBI agents were walking around burning man butt naked "collecting evidence". Anyone with their clothes on there is too suspicious.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if FBI walked the kid right into this by buying into his trolling. I bet I could get any one of the MH101 guys to do the same thing.

I found a funny bit in the article

In conversations with Fairfax Media, which were also cited in the affidavit, Mr Goldberg had said he did not expect any jihadist to actually carry out an attack because: "These guys are pussy keyboard warriors".

"This guy is a dick. He should have given his first name and just had a civil conversation. If he wasn't out there purely to attract cops and start shit then there would be no reason not to act normally. Personally if a guy like that was walking down my quiet street with a rifle I would want the cops to come."

"Fucking stones man. Can't god come down and replace the rocks with little beanie babies or something."

"I don't think anyone can really interpret this situation without seeing what this guy looked like from the officer's point of view. Was his hand resting in a weird position inside a baggy hoody pocket or did he have his fingers casually inserted into a pocket in his jeans? Either way he should have just taken his hand out. I guarantee you 95% of the people arguing for this guy would take their hand out of their pocket if they were in the same situation."

"The fact that he takes Buprenorphine doesn't really tell us much about his mental health. There's thousands of people that take medication for opiate dependency and live normal lives. You've likely talked to people that take it and didn't even know. Are you trying to say he was mentally ill because he took that medication or do you just think he decided to be a patsy to get out of a schedule 3 possession charge?"

Next time -- more from these much better people. For example one of the best was 'She'.

[MSL]

  She... The person nicknamed 'She' was one of the greatest content contributors and a very intelligent human being, but she isn't a part of voat.co anymore and she is also an ex-voater as many other normal people, who can't stand in such an aggressive, disturbing, full of idiotisms and evil website.

[SEO]

Something that I didn't know about voat.co. There is a /v watchpeopledie (v/watchpeopledie).

There is a /r in reddit.com, which is the same (i.e. r/watchpeopledie).

I'm not willing to watch 'watchpeopledie', but seems there are many guys, who want to.

Voat.co seems more popular now, but I think it just seems like this.

[SEO]

I don't care so much anymore about voat, but I learned these days from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voat that in November 2017 some of Reddit's incel community moved to Voat (after that community was banned on Reddit).

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//r/incels#Incels

A subreddit founded for "involuntary celibates", /r/incels' members often blamed their lack of romantic success on women. This lead to many members advocating sexual assault or violence against women, which the subreddit's misogynistic users referred to as "femoids" and "sluts"; notable posts included "reasons why women are the embodiment of evil". Women who attempted to discuss their issues, or people supporting them, were banned. The subreddit's users also targeted "normies" and "Chads" who were perceived to be protecting them, while admiring murderers such as Elliot Rodger, perpetrator of the 2014 Isla Vista shootings, who identified as an "incel".

In summer 2017, a petition on change.org called for /r/incels, to be banned for inciting violence against women. Following the October implementation of a new Reddit policy that prohibited the incitement of violence, the subreddit was banned on November 7, 2017. At the time of its banning, /r/incels had around 41,000 subscribers.

, so no wonder that an abnormal website as voat.co will accept something like this.
