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?

All it would take is one James Woods or Deadmau5 type to make a donation and fund this place for a decade.

A little more actually, but yeah, a decent sized donation could keep the lights on.

I've wondered if we didn't have a friend in one of the alphabet agencies or something similar. If the Q shit is to be believed, it would make sense. If I had to bet though, one or two of the regulars is from more means than the rest of us.

I’m suspecting less alphabet but more concerned member(s).

Same as Gab. They could be rounding us up in one place for damage control.

Possibly. Keeping us on the DarkNet is smart.
