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.

Is that right? Can you prove this was something Pao did, or are you just blaming her because it's fashionable right now?

She's the CEO and bares ultimate responsibility for the admins' actions. Reddit's not even that big staff wise, so it's pretty unlikely she was completely unaware or uninvolved. Certainly with the shit storm that followed, she's aware of it now and has nothing to address it.

Doesn't reddit's staff number 29? or make that 28 now.
