In line with our userbase growth (I think we flew over 100.000 accounts), we need to scale up various quotas we had in place. Up until today, users were limited to 10 upvoats per 24 hours if their CCP was lower than X. I just bumped this limit to 100 upvoats per day. Let's see how it goes.
Also, we are working hard on optimizing our existing code before throwing your donation money at more servers. And yes, my vacation is no longer a vacation even though I am still away from home, we're way past that point now. I am putting all my time on handling this influx and I want you guys to know that I won't be able to relax until voat load time goes down to under 1.5 seconds.
Edit: you can try upvoating this announcement post to test if the limit increase works (hehe)

Thank you so much for your hard work Atko. I am very excited for you and I can not wait to see where this all goes. As a fellow sysadmin working to keep the lights on, I know what it's like to be under the kinds of pressure you're experiencing right now and wish you the best. I only speak for myself but, if there are ways, other than the obvious financial assistance, that assistance can be provided, let us know!
