This is a good time to share this poem with everyone:
I saw them tearing a building down. A team of men in my hometown. With a heave and a ho and a yes yes yell, they swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
And I said to the foreman, "Are these men skilled?" "Like the ones you'd use if you had to build?"
And he laughed and said, "Oh no, indeed... the most common labor is all I need... for I can destroy in a day or two what takes a builder ten years to do."
So I thought to myself as I went on my way...
Which one of these roles am I willing to play?
Am I one who is tearing down as I carelessly make my way around? Or am I one who builds with care, in order to make the world a little better... because I was there?

No one likes seeing their country destroyed. No one likes seeing their culture destroyed. No one likes seeing that which they've worked for destroyed.
This principle also applies to Voat.
Each of us is either a builder or a destroyer.
Choose your side, because I've chosen mine. Voat will support those who build.
Interpret this post however you'd like, because at it's root it is truth, but I'm posting this for those of us that need a reminder from time to time.

Putt, I know you see my criticisms as aimless but surely you're aware of the pests you have on your hands. And yes, I'm a broken record talking about kevdude. About Mick. About Crensch. About ExpertShitposter. About Gabara and beatle.
You know that whatever benefit they are to you (any?), they're just as much a burden. Do you enjoy looking at the homosexual porn they plaster on your website? I hope this post is aimed at them, and not aimed at people like me who point them out. Thanks.

Putt's account has been hijacked weeks ago. It's pretty clear if you look at stuff he's posted recently. He either grew a brain tumor or his account has been hijacked.

^ Valid concern. I'm still waiting for some sign of life.

I may have started out as a cuck libertarian but even a former libertarian can see the game those people are playing WombRaider. Good on you.
This entire post, in light of other things like you posted antistatist, smells of getting ahead of bad news. Like hes preparing to do something unpalatable, and some shit heads whispering in Putt's ear (who are intent on destroying site or owner reputation) have convinced him it is 'necessary'--and all of this appears to be preemptive ass covering.

I think Putt is a good dude, I'm more concerned, since this post (the last time the canary was updated), that whoever may be whispering in his ear may also be holding a gun to his head.
I just made a profile on notabug, though I don't anticipate having to switch over too soon. But I'd be ready to switch right now if the whole community would come over.
Decentralize all the things!

Hell yeah. Been considering notabug for a little while now.
