LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

IS IT SERIOUSLY DYING BEFORE EVEN VOAT?

That's the problem of having a full team of """geeks""" functionning on frappuccino and Latte from Starbucks, it cost a lot.

They need meth. Great productivity boost in the short term, get shit fixed, then your senior employees die or go to jail, which leaves you free to hire a younger, cheaper team who mostly has to do maintenance since the heavy lifting was already done. You end up paying them less and you don't have to pay severances to your senior staff. Or do anything like match their 401K contributions, since they'll withdraw early to buy some more meth.

Who knew a community designed around people who hate community wouldn't thrive.

a community designed around people who hate community

Where do you think you are right now?

Here's the thing: I can stand y'all occasionally. I just can't stand anyone else or y'all most of the time

a community designed around people who hate themselves.

I hate yourself too!

So instead of hate fucking we're hate wanking.

you got them there

Is this the time of the month where you get reflexively downvoted.

Does that mean we will have an alt-right purge soon?

The circles I wrote about in my previous account as still extremely consistent.

me too, thanks

I don't hate myself. I'm kinda cool. Everyone else, though...

I thought what we really hated was irony?

cue Fray-How to Save a Life

Cue r/Drama - How to Mayocide

A community designed around smugposting

smugposting is all i have

We're not even that bad if you compare us to SRD and the Shit [blank] Says subs

yes we are

I'm a Sagittarius

then you were supposed to be born in australia

Hmm...

/u/AboriginalSalsa...

I like it

Have you considered effortporting or agendaposting?

me??? no, never

A community for laughing at how seriously people take their Internet opinions, while zealously defending our own.

The tv show is overrated tbf

voat pulled a donation haul of like $12k and they are rewriting their code to rely less on the expensive ass microsoft stack, so looks like it yeah

rewriting

They need a good C# to some better language transpiler.

C# is a good language. they just need to make it run on linux, which shouldnt be that hard these days, unless its a complete mess, which is admittedly a strong possibility.

You have a low bar, fam

Yeah. if they rewrite it for .NET Core it'd probably be better. its better than raddit.me which is written in PHP and documents its security vulnerabilities in the code. :/

>php in the current year

🅱️OI

Like okay, first off PHP (lol) and then documenting where an security vulnerability is without fixing it for the public to view.

I don't know what I expected though.

link to raddit source?

https://gitlab.com/edgyemma/raddit-app

I saw something about timing attacks on the thing for authentication. I really dont want to go to raddit longer than I have to; that means giving my IP to the LWSE people.

oh, thats just a very roundabout way of doing account enumeration, which tbf is more of a concern for these people than usual.

most people vulnerable to that kind of thing arent even aware of it so its hardly a mark against them.

Not a programmer, but how hard could it be? Do they really need 12k? Can't like your typical indian from fiver do it for 20 dollars?

Like fuck just rewrite it yourself, just type in shit like "command: ^ this symbol equates 1 upboat" that's it I fixed it niw give me 12k freedom currency

1/10, only because there probably exist people in the world who actually think like that.

Yes, there called Project Managers.

paying indians from fiverr $20 is how you end up needing $12k worth of fixes in the first place.

$12k is like 2 months of a good programmers time in the us lol

Deus Voat!

I remember reading them saying their server load was over $6k a month. So they staved off death for 2 months?

what the fuck

for that few of people?

that's ridic

it was in their "closing" statement the other day

It absolutely doesn't cost that much in terms of CPU/bandwidth, I run a site larger than Voat for a fraction of the cost. Their costs come from using a cloud service instead of buying dedicated servers, and for paying licensing fees on their Microsoft stack

I run a site larger than Voat for a fraction of the cost.

Didn't know Blacked.com had grown so much. Congratulations.

I think we should all just take the time to appreciate that Voat pulled in $12k from T_D before running them off the website.

They got cashcucked.

I believe it's called financial domination.

Lol.

the expensive ass microsoft stack

You have no idea what you're talking about.

oh thank god, so they're really not coming back?

I find it incredible that communists shut down after burning through stacks of investor capital, but nazis are still afloat cuz they begged for handouts

I wish reddit would die, and then everyone had to go back to making their own webforums again.

Most people cannot be arsed to make one account for each specific forum that interests them, let alone go and look for forums that could interest them.

Kill reddit, and you are left with 4chan and facebook.

That would suck... A lot

The autism though would be interesting.

This is what makes those forums good. The average person has nothing of value to say anyway.

That is what makes those forums bad. The entry barrier is high enough that the users are mostly hyper-committed autists.

I do not miss that process

No. It's a great marketing tool.

I only come to Reddit for the opposite of quality. Those niche forums are better for my hobbies that aren't shitposting.

hobbies

REEEEEEEE.

I would go to another site that isn't Reddit but then nobody would have to listen to all my bullshit.

Yeah, I certainly miss those.

Jesus thats brutal

I bet SRS is having a shit fit.

Oh no not imzy... no.... noooooo....whete else are SJW fags going to hang? Tumblr? It's just... not the same.

This is as bad as when DJ AM died. God help us.

DJ AM died

hahaha wow, TIL.

but why is it "as bad"?

Mods please mayocide this poster now.

you can't mayocide this vanilla bean...

(because I'm black)

black

doesn't know DJ AM - The best musician of our times

Gonna need to investigate this. Show pics of your bussy for proof.

i'm not showing my bussy for the cracked out kike

Woah rude. It's punks like you that make's incels right all along >:(

mayo is a state of mind friend.

i'm colorblind. i only know i'm mayo because i post to meta reddit.

Didn't the anarchokiddies make a reddit knockoff?

Yeah it's called Radd.it I think.

Wow, the consequences of this are going to be huge.

*consequences will never be the same

But who is backtracing my IP?

Me&Ananymous already backtraced your IP dude. You can't insult Daddy without us at least backtracing your every move.

How will it affect bitcoin?

It's hard to quantify these things, but based on previous experience it might be good.

Are you saying it's good...good, for Bitcoin?

Patriarchy wins again!

I don't really care, to be honest.

Actually, Imzy becoming successful and all the leftists moving there would have been great.

Actually, Imzy becoming successful and all the leftists moving there would have been great.

u wish bby

Why go there when raddit.me exists!

I sat on imzydrama for nothing.

You've been living your entire life for nothing tbqh famalam

Aren't we all?

That's why you should be drinking

I thought you drank your wife gets rammed by a different guy every week with your """"""""""consent"""""""""".

Naw bud it's the same guy and also I sometimes cum on him for teh lulz

Already am

To quote most of the users that used imzy: "And nothing of value was lost."

Imzy had users?!

Apparently not enough of them

You need to up yourself to higher standards and use an interrobang. Like this: ‽

I'm too busy interrobanging your wife

I wondered where she was ‽

If you want to speak to her you'll have to go to the back of the queue.

Ding!

Now serving number 184!

Jeez Zach, those users had families (probably not)

Families are inherently hierarchical thus definitely haram

"Families" in the biological sense mean that you're born from a man and a woman. Very heteronormative and patriarchal.

I think that you need your whole family to reject you before joining the SRS/Imzy crowd.

As an imzy user... I totally forgot I had an imzy account until I got the email.

Imzy was too pure for this internet

Kill me.

I loved this place hugs everyone

Do qxhze just hug everyone without enthusiastic consent?

THAT'S RAPE

Did they ever open it up to new users without invites? That's the reason I never signed up. Because it never allowed me to preview their content.

What was it like? I'm imagining a TrollX atmosphere across multiple subimzies (or whatever they're called).

i signed up for shits and giggles about 8-9 months ago and the place was super dead i imagine things didn't change much since then

this must be devastating for the 20 people who probably use that site

time to gather any content you’ve made

ahahahahahaha

Their execution team did a terrible job considering their million-dollar fundings!

I created https://voten.co. It's a real-time reddit alternative.

In about a week it's gonna get a new update that allows to preview site without login. And a new layout design. Would love you guys to check it out.

Yes! Thank you! I appreciate it!

Social Bookmarking For The 21st Century

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

this is unironically the greatest movie ever made

There's some good info, but I'm not clear on one thing: Which side is this for? Is it like Voat, for the alrt-right nazi pedo bronie neckbeards, or is it like Imzy and for crazy leftard SJW furry feminazis?

This. Which group of vapid retards is your site catering to? Voat already did nazis and raddit/imzy did commies, so which group do you have left to asskiss?

I believe in spending time for creating features that interests users instead of you know... "drama"! Each group can create their own channel, there's no need for choosing specific sides.

No need to take sides? My whole life is a lie.

Another social media to crash and burn. I hope you've pocketed your fair share of venture capital money.

This is actually interesting, I originally checked to see if its like the rest of the reddit alternatives (shit) but I really liked your site. Good luck and I hope you guys do well.

You just reminded me I never started watching the latest season of silicon valley. Thanks!

Did they? I never heard of it.

(socket.io)[#gt] (nodejs)[#gt] (Oracle® MySQL)[#gt]

That's your first problem.

Your second problem is that there is no demo, which is going to deter people from registration.

How were they good at marketing? I hang out with a lot of tumblr lefties and they've learned that imzy exists only because it's shutting down

I say this because I don't any tech publishing site that hasn't covered their PRs! People did check their site, didn't like it enough to stick around; in my opinion that's not lack of marketing.

specifically not enough people who would probably be somewhat interested in it otherwise

They burned $3 million (ref)

Reddit is looking for a new director of community . Maybe they need /u/kickme444 skillset?

How in the fuck do you blow 3 million on a site like this?

Helluva drug

bath salts or meth

Brainwashing all the customer facing admins to make sure that they never offend anyone has to be expensive.

Oi, successfully pocketing that kind of money without getting sued is totally a competency.

3 million over 3 years probably isn't much when you pay people silicon valley wages.

It all likely went to paying developers/admins.

They basically over-optimised spending way too much time and money investing in making a scalable solution when they didn't need to. They ended up missing their market because they didn't have a website up as quickly as they should, and lost their audience:

I mean... kickme used to work for Reddit.

that's the joke

Hold your horses guys. There is still a chance that Imzy simply celebrates a more culturally sensitive April Fool's Day, in late May.

April... person who does, uh, unreasonable things because of character defects such as, such as bigotry, and not, you know, that person's day.

Btw, why is that April, May, June, and July are all girls' names?

They sound pretty

I've never met someone named July, maybe Julie or something.

This guy though.

Gamers != people

There's a nuance, while white gamers are indeed subhuman, korean gamers are golden gods.

A LITERAL GOD TASTELESS

April

American white trash moms thought it was cute or whatever.

May, June,

Roman goddesses

July

Named after Julius Caesar, so it's a boys name.

Chinese April Fools Day?

At least they can all go to Voat!

Please let this happen. It'd be hilarious.

Certainly an unforeseen windfall for /r/drama. Racists vs snowflakes. FIGHT!

Flair twins? <3

I still think T_D vs. actual nazis was the best we're gonna get.

this might actually be good for voat. The people who visit imzy counteract the current userbase of voat. The two groups may nuetralize each other and might just make voat the best place for drama since some retard shot a rich prince in a car in Europe.

Turns out that the people who complain about reddit the most have a really hard time leaving reddit.

yes hello

yes hello

Please don't reply to me again.

no

I don't want to speak to you sorry

Ok I'm here now bb

You always loved to keep me waiting. At last you've come.

;)))))

Oh I'll come a lot more

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

hi

Howdy

sup

Can someone gimme a rundown on wtf Imzy is i have no fuckin clue

Here's a quick rundown:

-Rothschilds bow to Imzy

-In contact with aliens

-Possess psychic-like abilities

-Control france with an iron but fair fist

-Own castles & banks globally

-Direct descendants of the ancient royal blood line

-Will bankroll the first cities on Mars (Imzygrad will be be the first city)

-Own 99% of DNA editing research facilities on Earth

-First designer babies will in all likelihood be Imzy babies

-Website admins are said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has only existed deep in Tibetan monasteries & Area 51

-Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them

-They own Nanobot R&D labs around the world

-You likely have Imzybots inside you right now

-The Imzy are in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Imzy bunker in Wilkes land?

-They learned fluent French in under a week

-Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the twins. There’s no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Imzy

-The website is about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society

-In reality, it's an ultimate entity existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t its ultimate plans yet. We hope it's a benevolent entity.

The big enchilada

Thank you man! I'll post it to the next /r/slatestarcodex fun thread, fo shizzle! For I foresee some butthurt!

You can't just bogpill me like that without warning bruv

*imzypill

You forgot the funky song

?

Okay but why did imzy kill Seth Rich?

Seth Rich was the blood sacrifice necessary to fuel Donald Trump's ascension to President.

It was a final futile attempt at keeping Imzy relevant, in the same way the NRA and gun manufacturers donated millions to elect Hillary and keep the rednecks buying guns.

Thanks for that but what about the chemtrails to turn us back into our thetan forms to feed our lizard people overlords?

Dude, chemtrails are just plane exhaust. You sound like a conspiracy nut.

HOW DARE YOU Imzy killed Seth Rich for leaking the Trump piss tape to the Russians, who hacked Killary's email and

oh god I think I had a stroke

Reddit alternative. Think of it as sort of the more left wing, curated alternative to voat. No racism and the emphasis was on community rather than content. I never used it but that's the impression I got. Their community managers were all reddit meta users as far as I can tell including a certain /r/drama regular that now denies any affiliation.

a certain /r/drama regular that now denies any affiliation.

You mean, you?

>lefties on reddit constantly threaten to take their ball and do it

>the absolute madmen do it

>create imzy, and make it invite only to keep out folks like us

>in 2 years they burn through 3 mil and have to shut down

I was gunna ping /u/bannedfromimzy but their account is suspended :/

because he's an incel faggot who doxxed a girl

when did that happen?

I don't know but I tagged him as that so I wouldn't forget

So what was Imzy exactly?

What in the living fuck is Imzy?

BID

proof that SJWs dont work.

Proof that sjws are strawmen used by the hard-right to recruit mallrats

I wish reddit would die, and then everyone had to go back to making their own webforums again.

Here's a short list or remaining reddit alternatives:

1. Snapzu - Great design mixed with what seems to be a friendly and mature community. Really good content on a regular basis.

2. Hubski - Shares are used instead of voting to make things popular. I don't like how their front page shows month old things though.

3. Empeopled - Gives more voting power to experienced users, although I'm not sure if that's a good idea after what happened at Digg.

4. Hacker News - Lots of programming talk and tech talk. Hosted by a tech incubator so it makes sense about the content.

How is Hubski still around?

One of these things is not like the others.

its almost as though crazy identity politics arent marketable when you have to start off with them instead of co opting someone elses shit and fucking it up

Thanks OP, I just put on Sheer Heart Attack after clicking the video and my day is a lot better now.

You can run all the ads you want and get mad traffic on your website, you're not going to make any revenue from people who are too special to work and yet not special enough to get disability. Even more if your platform does not even get good traffic to begin with. Whereas hateful autists is where the money's at. They always seem to have money for weed, tendies, katanas and weird toys.

The fuck is an imzy and why the fuck should I care?

Damn, there goes my dream of imzy.com/The_Donald

what the hell's an Imzy

Who did what now?

Looking at this photo they had at least 12 staff which was too much for where they were at:

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/yM5yDrmzN93h7PGPRImI_6484CQ=/0x0:900x600/920x613/filters:focal(378x228:522x372)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49637361/579eac1c-8fcc-4d39-8755-931c72f0ade7.0.jpg

Photo is from this article:
https://www.recode.net/2016/5/20/11715602/reddit-employees-safer-tamer-imzy

They also wasted money on idiocies like pizza parties: giving away pizzas to users:

https://www.imzy.com/imzy/post/let_s_have_pizza_party

Albeit that may have been a sleazy move to get users physical addresses for some other purpose. I lost alot of respect for their userbase that they cheerleaded that and ignored my admonition in one thread that it is probably a ploy to get people's home address and other data.

The people running it simply were not smart enough to succeeded, they had $8 million in funding and they hired way too much staff despite only having less than 70,000 users(and most of those were inactive). They were only out of public beta since October 2016 so they didn't even manage to last a year despite those millions:
https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/26/imzy-raises-8-million-series-a-round-opens-communities-platform-to-everyone/

Overall just pathetic... It was just a sjw(I hate that term because their alt-right opponents consider decent behavior as sjw, but it is tbe best way to describe imzy) mirror of Voat, run by people with alot more funding, but who didn't know what to do. I gave them some valueable feedback that they should have noticed on their own, but they didn't do anything about it:

https://www.imzy.com/feedback/post/posts_communities_need_to_be_visible_to_non_users

So the question is why do visitors to the top level domain of imzy.com only see a video and call to register? I think for non-registered users it would be better for them to be exposed to random communities that have enough traffic to not actually be totally dead on the top level domain instead of a useless marketing video that is pointless since if you are at imzy.com you already reached the product, but you cannot see what it is. At that point most users will not check further, they won't know they have to type in a community manually in the address bar. It would be better that they see what imzy is by actually being able to browse through posts from various communities just like a non-registered person can on Reddit.com. ...

And:

https://www.imzy.com/imzy/post/community_creation_is_back/comment/28aec258-1588-11e7-aba3-a5b845e1550c
Right now, there are at least three cycling communities with overlap:
/bikes (85 members), /Bicycling (39 members) and /Lets_Go_Cycling (6 members)

Similarly for veganism there is:
/vegan (211 members), /Animal_Liberation (22 members) and /Vegan_society (restricted and only 3 members)

I don't think at this point you should allow that situation to get worse, as people are trying to be there first to create communities probably learning from Reddit how important that was on Reddit where moderators were allowed to be dictators, even if it means creating lots of competing communities that all have tiny, split userbases and thus almost no actual discussion. I new communities should have to be approved by staff who should search existing communities to prevent overlapping communities at this point in time. ...

Basically the founders were not smart enough to compete with Reddit. Why would you make the frontpage a video ad of imzy for unregistered users, that is the biggest fail and probably cost them thousands of users at a time when they had decent media buzz? And the second thing people would do if they registered(which most wouldn't with their walled approach) is look at communities that interest them and in my case not only were they dead, but the userbase was already split amongst several competing, overlapping communities.

Overall imzy to me seemed to obsessed with nonsense and not focused enough on the key issue: simply growing. Without enough users a discussion medium is pointless.

imzy/progressives to me seemed too obsessed with nonsense and not focused enough on key issues

Who would have thought?

The fuck is an Imzy?
