Think about it!
Did Putt suddenly optimize the code? Nahhh not that easy.
Get new hardware? This! Somebody is paying for the Q refugees and it ain’t them.
The server would have buckled under their weight.
So, we can figure that hardware was updated in advance.
How is footing the bill? Internal user is possible. Outside user or could have bought out or into voat. Maybe an internal user bought in too.
Be nice to Q’s. Really ... I remember thinking that Putt probably needed the influx and prepared knowing 10k users were coming.
Fuck, 10k users would have put voat to death spirals a couple months back. But here we are with snappy response times and rock solid performance. Now how the fuck did Putt do that with his previous resources?
Aliens?

I said this first day here, that there would probably be a upgrade about 12 hours later voat is down for a short time then lag is gone.

I remember the update too.
But I also how bad voat crashed before.
Code didn’t get all that much better so it definitely was a hardware upgrade.
