Voat is currently getting hit with a huge amount of traffic as a direct result of recent changes happening over at that other place.
Everyone, we’re sorry. We’re both sad to see what we once loved change in this manner, but we’re also excited about the future, but our future won't be traveling down this same path.
We won’t be getting any sleep tonight (again) and we are doing everything we can to handle the traffic.
Our budget is limited but we’ll make sure to fight to the last penny in order to keep Voat alive for this community. If you want to donate, well, now is the time. Our bitcoin address is 1C4Q1RvUb3bzk4aaLVgGccnSnaHYFdESzY.

I'm sad/glad to see Reddit pulling the trigger faster than expected.
Welcome everybody who's new to VOAT! No bullshit here and hopefully it stays that way longer than ~5 years.

Well Reddit was built from the ground up with free speech as a cornerstone of the system. It will take a while to grind that down. If they're going to subjugate the whole site before the start of the fourth quarter they have an aggressive schedule to maintain.
