and how long are we going to be down?
and that is the whole point of this lockdown? I doubt voat is still under DDOS attack(and even if we assume it is, wouldn't it be reasonable to think that if some forces have been attacking voat constantly for months, they will keep attacking voat forever?), it has been fucking months since we are down.
Owner proudly claims that:
This is where I think the hand of God works in mysterious ways. They next came after Voat, but because of the recent attacks, Voat was inaccessible to those without accounts, thus giving them zero content in which to twist and distort in order to pressure a company like CloudFlare
Am I the only one who thinks this is extremely illogical ? Declaring a victory over hate police because they were unable to 'shut us down'? no shit, they couldn't shut us down, we shut ourselves down. I think owners don't understand that they took us down,for 99.99999% of internet-they took us down, no one but registered users can access voat, I have no access to stats, but I am fairly sure that our already small population decreased even further (and vorse, right now it has zero chance of growth) Voat is nothing more than some well hidden discord group or closed niche community on major websites.
Here comes a question, sure, they didn't shut us down, but what is the point of websites' existence in this circumstances ? Can site owners tell us what goals hate police would have achieved with shutting voat down what they haven't achieved with this self imposed lockdown anyway ? is becoming small closed community group with several hundred people (at best) aim of voat? because if it is, I doubt hate police has anything against that.
and finally, what the heck are site owners planning to do ? Are you guys just waiting it to stop ? or planning to do something? and most importantly, what the heck is the strategy of the website? what is the aim?

You're not the first one to ask. We get no answers. This place is starting to die. I've seen at least 3 reposts of memes in the last 2 days. It's getting stagnant and old. The site owners are uncommunicative and that doesn't help.

The community is actually pretty darn active, asomeof the regular faces(power users) have fallen away but other content has been floating up to the top now.

Sure it's active but we're seeing the same old memes, etc. Needs new blood.

yes, we need sport - we need lefties.
CognitiveDissident5 ago
No idea what you're trying to say.

I'm not ashamed to say it but I enjoy the vehement reaction I get from lefties when I tightly squeeze the udders of their sacred cows. Alas, lefties on Voat are far and few between and it's just Nationalists usually quietly agreeing with other Nationalists. Where's the fun in that. So I'm saying we need lefties on Voat for sport (fun - upset them; make them angry; and possibly make them tolerant of different opinions). Now ... get rid of that downvote please.

I didn't downvote you.
