We may be back (announcements)

submitted ago by Atko

Hey, it's me again, it's been a while!

I isolated the issue and did what I could to bring the services back online.

I am still a bit worried as I haven't heard anything from Putt, but I hope that he's just enjoying a few days off somewhere nice and quiet.

Running voat as a one-man-show is insanely difficult, hats off to Putt for keeping it together, especially with a full-time-job on the side. Please give Putt all the support you can, he definitely needs it. This, once student side-project, has grown to something beyond belief and my initial dreams, and it wouldn't be possible without all of you pulling your weight together. Life is hard as it is, we are brought to this ready-made system with little to no room to change anything, and with free information flow getting more and more difficult, I am worried for the future of mankind in general. Idiocracy (the movie) shows a possible outcome, and I sincerely hope that we don't end up there. Question everything, check your sources, talk to each other in person... and don't get distracted by mindless TV shows, movies, games, apps and god knows what. While you're getting distracted, deals are being made every day to take away more and more of your hard earned cash. (sorry for this rant, but I feel that youngsters need to know before they too get caught up in the machine)

Thank you all for staying put, regrouping on preview.voat.co and all over the web (kudos to 8ch for hosting you (hi Hotwheels!), and even organizing your own instances of voat or other similar software.

I hope to see you soon.

Stay safe.

A lot of people were worried, it seemed surreal, for more than 2 days being out, no message from anyone, and reddit and 4chan censoring voat discussion, we were a bit paranoid about the whole thing. It made echoes on the web.

ATS Mods trashed 2 threads that I know of that mentioned Voat by name, 1 made it through but it was in RATS and instead of saying Voat they said the goat pen. It was freaky as fuck seeing the same thing almost everywhere, it appears the rest of the internet doesnt like us very much

it appears the rest of the internet doesnt like us very much

That just means we're doing something right.

If by ATS you mean AboveTopSecret it is 100% cointelpro. I busted that place years ago along with a few other members. I wont go too far into because I'm not sure this is what you are referring to but if it is I have some stories right out of Langley. I tripped them up and caught their asses. I also received threats. Personal ones. They know where and who I am.

IAmYourDad ago

I am interested in the story. PM me?

Skeeterdo ago

What the fuck man. I found that website talking about the voat shutdown, that was literally the only website. They deleted the post though after some time.

AnonymousRider ago

Would you please do a post about this? I use ATS and I don’t like to be ignorant of such topics. Thanks!

CheeseboogersGhost ago

Just search "ATS is CoIntelPro". You wouldn't believe how much shit they tried to delete from other websites that was posted. Go look at their TOS and tell me it wasn't written by gov lawyers

AnonymousRider ago

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Lucky you're a ghost then!

GoatEmperorTrump ago

Maybe you can’t kill a ghost, but can you fuck one?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Road House?

FFS, I almost had a spit-take on my hands.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

yessssssss

fuckudatswhy ago

And the danger of this is that when something happens for real, all the websites are going to take the same attitude and websites like voat will start disappearing without a fight.

Carlosone ago

I wonder why they dont like us lol. Its fair because we dont like them either

I_Would_Gas_You ago

No one likes a bluntly honest person.

Carlosone ago

Lol this funny from the guy who would love to gas people

I_Would_Gas_You ago

I am not well liked so I speak from a place if understanding

Carlosone ago

Well i like you .people like me but not my political thoughts

antiliberalsociety ago

When looking for an alternative I found an article, "Good riddance to Voat, Reddit's ugly clone".

Then I looked at the date and saw it was back when putt had cost issues. They acted like we were done.

heygeorge ago

To be fair, Putts acted like we were done.

Ocelot ago

Putt seems like a man under a good deal of stress. I imagine running this site is not easy on the nerves, so any type of issue like that probably feels like a blow to the gut.

Cum_control ago

What kind of men you hang around? Putt doesn’t seem like a man at all.

Ocelot ago

I don't read everything Putt says, I'm just recalling the few times Putt has talked about real life that I saw.

I guess going back and reading a couple of Putt's bigger posts, the posts do seem less masculine to me. I just figured Putt had that manner of self-expression.

It's not something I've given a lot of thought to.

edgelord666 ago

he seems like a dumb tranny faggot

ruck_feddit ago

Agreed

clamhurt_legbeard ago

He didn't expect the huge outpouring of $upport we gave

Hibby ago

I posted that article in r/voat, someone pointed out it was a year old, I used strikethrough for transparency correcting it and got banned for "spreading lies". Whole thread was deleted. Reddit really can't handle competition.
