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.

To be fair, anyone who went to Reddit deserved to be censored. And 4chan has not been the same since Gamergate and the creation of 8ch.

I came to voat from reddit, and still check it sometimes just to keep up with what the few gaming subs I like are doing, and the handful of places that are talking about real things. Mostly in private.
