Rule number 8 in the snapzu etiquette explicitly states hate speech is not allowed in any form.

On a personal note, this website existed before the influx of reddit users and it is my personal hope that many of these most toxic elements from reddit would not make their appearance here. I am very disappointed to see that some people are not interested in building the positive community the snapzu veterans have set out for us. Perhaps you would be more comfortable or find a community more to your liking on voat.

Exactly because you have every right to not want to associate with an entity that allows people to spit in your soup. Just like people who want the broadest form of free speech don't have to associate with a website that clearly states racism and hate speech will not be tolerated.

Because of the invite and reputation system. If someone from /pol/ wanted to come in just to fuck with things, the first barrier to entry would be getting an invite (admittedly not that hard) and the second thing would be if reputation drops too low too quickly there can be some nasty consequences (temporary bans becoming full bans etc etc).

If there were an anonymous posting system, someone with even a basic modicum of patience could come in, work on the rep for the profile until it was good enough and then hand the login over. Since there would be no way to trace the harassing/trolling/spamming content to its source it would just run rampant until an actual admin intervention.

Okay, I can see some of the reasoning there. I'm one of moderators at the new /t/suicidewatch which would definitely be a place where something like that could be vitally important.

I'm still intensely skeptical of a way to set it up that doesn't allow for massive amounts of abuse. What's to stop someone from working an account up and then handing the login details over to /pol/ to have a field day with the anonymous posting for example. I do however see the value in having some way of posting that isn't directly tied to their account, I just don't know how it could be done effectively.

What would be the benefit? Right now usernames are anonymous (not publicly tied to the name of the account holder) so I don't see what this would do but essentially give people the opportunity to troll or spam without recrimination.

Welcome and you should post the announcement of your new tribe in /t/newtribes!

At this moment no there is not, but the admins are working on rolling out an API as soon as is reasonably possible.

Wait, so we're not eating the babies?? Oops.

I'm really hoping for the obscure Invader Zim reference. Though I suppose if that were the case he would have gone with "TheAlmightyTallest". Shit... I just disappointed myself.

I've fallen into the Paradox hole, hard. I've been binging so hard on EU4 the past few weeks it's not even funny. I've already finished two full campaigns and England and Poland and am now working on a Russian one. Luckily in the past couple of days I've been feeling a little burnt out so it's somewhat subsiding.

Growing up we adopted a dog from a rescue agency and man this dog had gotten the worst of it. He had permanent hip dysplasia, a crooked tail from it having been broken in multiple places and was quite possibly the most neurotic animal you could ever meet, but he was a sweet heart.

The Fourth was always the worst day of the year for him. I would remember gaming on my Dad's computer in the basement and he would come and hide under the desk I was at and I would pet him and give him treats while the fireworks were going off.

1) - /t/asksnapzu - Obviously not as big as askreddit, but is the functional equivalent.

2) - Do you mean like, is the site's core infrastructure or software updated or do people regularly post? For the first one I know with the influx of new users the admins are going into overdrive to upgrade servers and try to roll out an API for developers as quickly as they reasonably can, but beyond that, I don't know much.

3) - Not at this time. The admins are asking for donations to help cover server costs as up til now it has been entirely out of pocket for them. They've already blown past what they requested (a modest $370 or so) and any further contributions will go to covering next month's server costs.

Shhh. Shhhhhhhh. Just watch the pretty gifs and everything will be fine. There, doesn't that feel better?

It's crazy but so far it seems that it seems to be out of pocket for the handful of individuals running it.

They did make a blog post requesting donations for server hardware and they made their monthly goal in less than 24 hours.

Combine the generosity of the user base with the ginger souls and you have an almost unlimited form of revenue!

...So you're telling me I just wasted $300?

Well, if a community you want is empty, that's a golden opportunity to start posting content there to get them started.

It's kind of a Catch-22. Everyone loves these smaller niche communities, but when they find them they're empty so they move on. It takes a couple of people to step in and start posting and engaging like crazy so that the next person that comes by looking for their niche sees that it's active and decides to stay and contribute.
