Uniting the Clans (GoatMatrix - SeachVoat - Upgoat)(self)
25 commentsbyiSnark

When the original VOAT Prime dissolved, goats were scattered to the winds. Since the breakup and dissolution of VOAT Prime, most of us have been attached to one of three spin-off projects, a few, like myself, have logons to each of the VOAT Prime spinoffs.

I've undertaken an effort to "Unite the Clans"... I'm making an internal public declaration of what this project is, and what this project isn't.

The main focus of this project is to reunite, as best as possible, each of the three spin-off groups. Out of the gate, there will NOT be an effort to consolidate sites into one specific VOAT website. The focus will be on getting as many goats as possible to establish logons at each of the spinoff sites. So you ask, "What does this buy us?"

The goal is to keep us together as a group across the three spinoff sites. The specific benefit will be that if one of the spinoff sites goes tits-up, goats can default to one of the two remaining active sites. Further consolidation means We'll be back to having one site again.

In my estimation of the three spinoff sites, one leads the pack in terms of user base size. The other two are maintaining and slowly growing their current user base. I don't have hard numbers as to the active participating members of each site, so I gave you my interpretation of each sites standing. (I could be wrong...)

I ask that goats support this initiative by establishing and maintaining logons at each of the three sites, and ideally, spend time at each of the sites, so that we even up the user bases among the three sites.

I'VE PROVIDED LINKS TO EACH VOAT SPINOFF SITE BELOW:

GoatMatrix: https://goatmatrix.net/
SearchVoat: https://searchvoat.co/forum/
Upgoat: https://www.voat.xyz/

If you're having issues creating/reactivating your user id at any of the sites, please make an attempt to reachout to the site mod, OR, in a worst-case scenario, ping me, and I'll assist in communicating between you and the sit mod(s).

I'm interested in your constructive thoughts relating to this effort.

"FUCK OFF, WE'RE FULL", ;-)

This site should be mentioned here. Also they do some interesting mirroring

Hellieeee!!!

So good to see you here... I'm hoping that this cross-over exercise is successful. It would be great to keep each of the three VOAT spinoffs alive and well, as options for the future if one of the sister sites fall...

We're going to have to get you some goat flair... @x0x7 would'ya could'ya?

Excellent! So support this site when you can, so that we can keep it viable, just maybe bounce in once in a while and drop some posts. Get to know the user base. etc...

I'm not a Goat. I'm not a SaidItor anymore either. Fuck the completely unnecessary abrasive asstrolls and inept mismanagement. I won't engage timesucks or rudderless projects with no goals, evolution, or improvement.

That said, I'm all for decentralizing and networking. Selectively.

Figure out a way to cross pollinate content (databases that can be shared and archived), whether as the Deplorable side of the Fediverse or whatever, and I may participate.

Figure out a way to filter out the noise for elevated discourse, with the option to occasionally see what gutter-dwellers are doing, and I'll certainly participate. I'd even be willing to host another instance.

If you can solve this problem, not only would you get me, you'd get thousands like me. Whether from Reddit or elsewhere. People justifiably hate Reddit crap and hate Voat/4chan crap. SaidIt was first called Anti-Extremes, but it slid to shit as it was a poorly managed refuge to a few conspirophiles largely banned from Reddit and many more mostly banned for poor behaviour - and later just for being not-Left. You might want to loop SaidIt into your network scheme - though magnora7 is technically incapable of improving the site and I doubt if his ego would ever share it as an archive. I think he's a controlled op. He certainly acts like one.

Should I make a utility that can cross post? It wouldn't be hard. Like an extension that adds check boxes to the forms of each site to post to extra places in the community. I'd just have users paste in an API key from here, and other sites could also give API keys.

Sort of like federation but letting the users decide where their posts go. I think I could do it as a userscript instead. A userscript is probably better because it's more sandboxed and easier to glance at the code.

Keep posted on that.

I like that idea! I think that could be a game changer! We'd need to have the three site owners talk IRL, as a courtesy, so that no one steps on anyone else's project. Also, how does your code get around direct user logins? Also, how does replying to comments and receiving comments on other sites work? I say let's put it in writing, and shop it to the other site owners, and see if we can get this bitch off the ground! Thanks for volunteering this solution.

i agree with @iSnark. That is both a good idea and a great way to post about his Pixar Lamp across multiple platforms.

Ok. New method of raising donations. We steal dwb's idea of setting up an OF.

We're going to put animitronics into a sex doll and make it twerk. We are adding a lamp for it's head in honor of iSnark. We are going to run the twerking with AI and use chat donations for reinforcement learning.

You need like, lots of box fans and stuff. every now and then just walk in front of the camera wearing a tool belt. "My... This is a dirty one. We'll have to blow it out all day." Do the butt crack thing when you lean over to clean off some dust with some air in a can. I'd watch that.

You had me at "We are adding a lamp for it's head"! Which begs the question, should we have a pixar lamp badge, and what should it be for... Maybe, Venerable Talents that make GoatMatrix shine... Maybe we do quarterly nominations and vote on it.

The Pixar Lamp must thrive... It can not be pushed aside and hidden in a corner, its light must shine throughout the GoatVerse!

What are your thoughts on putting the current sites (MATRIX, SEARCHVOAT, UPGOAT) behind a single log-on portal called "GoatVerse", that handles the validation of users and then let's the user choose which door they want to enter after login validation, either MATRIX, SEARCHVOAT, UPGOAT, potentially FlingUP and any other affiliated like-minded sites, Each site keeps control of the Administration of their own site? Interested in your thoughts...

That would require partnership from others. More so than the extension. They would have to accept the auth. And what happens when someone bombs a username in the traditional auth for one site making it so the secondary auth has a naming conflict?

parentlinkreply
[-]iSnark0(0|0)

To access through the GoatVerse front door (The Main Portal to each of the underlying participating sites) Users don't get to make a new ID, their augmented existing ID follows them (see examples below).

Anyone creating a brand new ID could be checked against a master database of existing ID's, and if an ID is already registered (First come/First Serve basis), they get rejected at registration, and they have to create a new ID which gets logged into a postgres (or equal) database. So if I try to login from Upgoat, and some asshat created an iSnark id at Matrix, they would get an error that that id is already in use, and they would need to create a new id.

Can you programmatically append a multi-digit numerical code to each distinct user id which is registered into a postgres (or Equal) database to differentiate them. So when a user from another site logs into the GoatVerse portal entrance with their unique id at the main portal entrance to the individual sites, they are assigned an enhanced ID that distinguishes them from others when they post, they are represented by their "passport" ID?

So...

Hope some of this makes sense. Read through it let me know what you think...
The key in going to marry your Hardcore technical knowledge and my somewhat limited technical knowledge and conceptual abilities to slash through this jungle and produce a united virtual GoatVerse.

Take some time to mull this over, and let me know your thoughts...

He wants nothing to do with the voat crowd though. Still worth checking his site out.

Maybe that should go in /s/Domains

Thanks for the heads-up on Flingup... I may reach-out to them as a courtesy just to cover my bases... So they can't come back and claim that they were excluded.

I like the idea of being able to post on any site within the GoatVesre... I'm interested in know more about how that would work.
