@system This is the only place like this. Open up for donations we can fund it. It doesn’t seem like it but it helps. When voat shut down I was so sad then I found everyone again you can’t do it again man
I get it’s depressing but fuck man you can’t shut it down man come on

As you can see, the fan will keep the server cool. The lack of the top panel will save money as we won’t need to shop for a replacement. This is only the second revision so far.

@system - My proposal to cut voat's hosting costs     (files.catbox.moe)

So fyi, I'm a developer who just quit his job and actually has the free time to work on this and I am willing to. It would be a big change with lots of bugs to work out but if we pull it off it will massively reduce the number of requests going to voat's servers thereby cutting the hosting costs. In the process the underlying architecture of voat will be unique and more in line with the original vision of the internet.

Plan is instead of hitting the servers/database every time any user makes a request we funnel all of the server hits through "Chad" users who make periodic, intelligent, controlled requests. So these Chad's are basically acting like server proxies and it is they who serve the ordinary users. The ordinary users then serve each other the most recent reads in a mesh network, torrent, TCP/IP kind of thing.

Of course there will be bugs to work out and that's where we would need serious buy in from the voat users to do such a thing. We could make this code optional until the bugs are worked out but you know, it would still be a bumpy ride and everyone would have to be on board with this idea so they don't get pissed off when there are bugs.

So that's my proposal. I'm willing to work on it if ya'll like the idea. The mesh architecture is definitely cool and would make voat stand out compared to reddit, x, etc. who are still doing things in a very top down kind of way. Oh and of course, malicious Chad's and all that.

The other idea I have is simply to switch to Kubernetes so you can scale your server size depending on load. I mean maybe you already have a way of doing that but doing it in Kubernetes makes it more portable.

If Upgoat has to shutdown, let's start a list of potential alternatives to explore! (Scan the list as it grows for duplicates - Don't multi-post options)      (Voat)

Let's get it all out on the table, then create a poll! No one is obligated to migrate to the favored landing site, but at-least we'll have a good chance at getting the most GOATS in the same barn, and, we'll also have a good blueprint of where all the wayward GOATS are scattered! This place works because of the "DNA" that each of us brings to it! Getting scattered, will be the literal end of GOATDOM as we know it.

To be clear the scenario here is that our "planet" is about to die, and we're sending out an expedition team to see were life exists, and if it's suitable to our "survival". I've already seen some names thrown about, but I don't have high hopes for some of them.


Let's keep responses limited to alternative sites and their suitability, and not clutter this thread with miscellaneous chatter.

@system, Can we get this pinned to the top of the list so that it sticks around and doesn't get swallowed up by other posts?

I went to a church and didn't like it original content     (Christianity)
submitted by Kozel to Christianity 1 hour ago (+5/-0)

I was invited to a new year celebration at a church. I had nothing better to do so I went.

Everyone in the church was White with Slavic background. Service started with some performances and some words from the pastor. They spoke in Russian with strong accents and some words wrong.

Then everyone got on their knees and prayed to god out yelling praises in different languages. It was very chaotic.

Then another performance.

And another round of yelling prayers.

One guy asks the two pastors to pray for him. So they put their hands on his shoulder and start yelling stuff. One of the pastors is speaking in tongues like WOLOLOLO and his face is all red.

Then there is an after party. A youth pastor gives a speech about how they went to Africa and expelled demons from Africans. I think to myself that these Africans rape virgins to cure aids and its easy to trick them into pretending.

Then there is a round of prayer. The guy on my left is praying in hebrew, ADONAI ELOHIM ASHER ASHAM or whatever. Others are yelling in tongues WOLOLOLOLO. Very chaotic.

Later I'm introducing myself to some guy and I say the word bullshit. He recoils.

Someone asks me my thoughts and I try to explain how wasteful the efforts in Africa are but the guys head is in the clouds and he's not even hearing me.

I inquire from another person regarding how the organization is structured and if its run by one guy or a group or what. And the person I'm speaking with seems to think I'm implying their church is a for profit organization and gets defensive. I state that a church can't be for profit by definition and leave with no clarification.

People are asked for their new year resolutions, and most of them reply saying that they want to get closer to god or read the bible more.

Some thoughts,

The prayer was very chaotic and I did not like it at all. A lot of yelling. I did not like that they spoke in tongues. I did not like that one of the main guys was praying in Hebrew. I did not like that they go to Africa.

Matter of fact, if I was looking for a holy place I'd be better aligned visiting a mosque than this type of church.

Also when they are making those WOLOLOLO noises trying to speak in tongues. They are just pretending. It is obvious and stupid. They're trying to channel god into speaking though what they're gonna get is some jin.

Also, if this is a place for free speech and can't grow, maybe that means that people don't want free speech. And if that's the case, the people do not deserve it.

Many of us are instinctually itching to help build something great. If System needed to start a donation/subscription program to keep this city running, I’m sure many of us would contribute so long as we could maintain anonymity.

And I’m sure IsraelRespector would loan money towards it too!

Contributors could have a different color or badge near their usernames. This would separate the good members from the trolls. I mean, I would still be a shitposting troll but I’d pay for that luxury.
