Not at Voat apparently.
The theories are all over the place, like a blind man throwing darts, and upon some reflection I can see why. I have not been very visible lately and Voat has had some down time recently that raised the Voat Uncertainty Index (VUI) past 52 week highs. With the recent Facebook F8 conference and their announced plans to fully control and rate publishers while limiting content visibility in the name of making news more “trustworthy” (via AI based technology), places like Voat are increasingly more sought after. I often forget how much Voat means to you all and how much trust you've put into @Atko and I over the years.
About the recent downtime
I finally have a few minutes to explain what happened. This will not be an exciting tale but here is how this all went down. Since the port we’ve lost a few management tools that have monitored Voat and notified us if it was being bad, so take this into consideration.
Every AM and PM I check the site manually, I’ve done this every day for nearly 4 years (where is my cookie?), but I didn’t do this for an entire week (perhaps a week and a half). I went completely dark, turned off all notifications on my phone and didn’t even touch a computer and it was everything that I thought it could be. I did this because my mother was in town and I haven’t spent much time with her over the last few years. I decided to 100% disconnect from the virtual world in order that I could be fully present with her. She is an incredible person and life is short.
But then… like a perfect storm, the voat webserver ran out of disk space on the primary drive. This is what caused the downtime. It’s almost laughable (because it’s not the first time something this junior (can I say noob) has happened here at the High-Tech Capital of Free Speech).
Thank God superman @Atko was in between fixing catastrophic world events to fly over and fix Voat. He used his x-ray vision and nerves of steel to lift away the huge weight of unneeded log files in order to allow the webserver to breathe again (I'll never be a writer). I’m so glad Europe has a superman too.
TL;DR: Problem happened and @Atko fixed it. Send him praise.
While the decision to go dark was a huge plus for my family life, it was a choice that has caused a lot of distrust, uncertainty, and concern within the Voat community.
About me
I have been fairly burnt out lately (code related) and a bit down about Voat in general (I will perhaps write a post about this later), which is why I am not very visible lately. I've recently started pursuing further education and have dedicated myself to reading more.
I have been lurking though (and watching everyone like Big Brother /s).
I’m sorry about how things appeared, about not communicating earlier, and about the concern it caused. I'll also apologize for being short with a few people that were good to Voat over the years - that isn't the kind of person I want to be.

There are lots of ways to monitor voat. Have you checked out uptimerobot.com? You will receive an email when the site doesn't load for them. I use this to monitor our exchange servers and a few other things. It's never been a false alarm and any time it goes off its been accurate. Shits not loading. Lol.
You can also use tools like automate control by connect wise (I'm sure there are better tools) for monitoring. When the disk space gets to a threshold, you will be notified. It also has an agent for Linux. That kind of thing. Lots of things that can be done, but I hear you loud and clear when you have got no time to improve upon it...

Yo /u/PuttItOut ...I'm really glad ya did the disconnect thing bro. Sometimes ya just can't do a digital presence and a meatbag presence.
Glad ya chose ya ma over Voat.....Voat will be here (thanks to /u/Atko...hopefully) You only get one mom...spend as much time with her as you can...because when you can't, it helps to have alot of memories of times you could.

analtaccount ago
Dear @puttitout and @Atko i am a refugee from reddit. As a right wing conservative who has seen the intolerance of political opponents i fear this same issue is occuring with voat. The site's CCP system is flawed in that I am constantly punished by other users who simply disagree with my opinion, who most of the time will simply downvoat me and move on without any rational reason. This severely hurts my ability to participate in voat as i can no longer create posts that i feel generate good discussion. I am not being inflammatory in my language, because i oppose racism and i dont think jewish people are evil; my opinion gets crushed under the majority. I have no ability to combat this because i cant downvoat until i have 100 ccp and even then i must maintain that, making it so my opinion can never be heard. The minority opinion is essientially extinguished from the site and voat's community is just as intolerate as that of reddit's, just in the other direction. I feel that it is the best intrests of people like me and voats credibility as a website if there is some sort of reform to voat's comment system. Some sort of protection for people that find themselves being overwhelmed and suppressed by a radical majority would be much appreciated as i wish to continue to use this site. At this point, it would be better if just created a new account in order to participate than to try and earn back my lost points (I just created this one to put this out there and not get further downvoated) and that isn't right. The CCP system needs to be changed or removed.

voat.co is a one-person operation? (sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm relatively new to voat). What if he gets arrested, or the hardware seized, could we get something like a Julian Assange situation with voat?
Is there any way we can help? (I have plenty of space for backups, archiving, fall-back, etc.). It would be a shame if we ever lose voat because the libtards find a way to exploit a single-point of failure. Can we make voat too-big-to-fail?

What you have done here is one of a kind and has been instrumental in the growing movement of truth seekers and those who wish to expose evil folks in the highest levels of power across the globe. There is no doubt in my mind you will be rewarded in the next life for all the work you have done here to help bring light to the darkest areas of our world. God Bless you and THANK YOU for keeping VOAT alive!

@PuttItOut fuck these cunts. Shit breaks. They don't like it, refund them their subscription.
The people that are butt hurt, over the canary, honeypot etc. here's my free advice. Yes Voat is free speech, yes it's an echo chamber but if you honestly think that what you do or say here is free from the Government, NSA or whatever you are scared of, you are Fucking Delusional. There's a job for these Government noobs, and guess what? They physically monitor sites like this, game networks, porn basically any fucking form of communication for threats.
So, knowing that, if you say something you don't want out? Don't fucking say it. Putt, thanks for your fun place to hang. We appreciate it.

I owe you an apology, Putt. Sometimes it's really easy to forget that you're the one person keeping the lights on around here, and making sure that we, an admittedly difficult bunch, have a place to call home.
I truly appreciate everything you've done over the years, and I'm certain I can speak for others when I say that the work you've done here is monumental.
I'm glad you took some much needed time off, Putt. Go in peace, and thanks for not giving up on us.

I have been here nearly three years. @puttitout and @atko CONSTANTLY refuse(d) to accept help or bring people in. PLENTY of offers have been made over the years. I offered money to help sustain the site for small ownership stake. So did many others, and they were ignored. They both have cried "woe is me" while ignoring EVERY FUCKING HAND that offered to help. UNTIL, people helped for free. They were happy to accept THAT help when they needed to reprogram the site. OR to accept donations in crypto. This is why I have constantly told you guys not to treat them as celebrities, they cry in one hand, and slap people away with the other. If you're burned out TAKE ON PARTNERS/EMPLOYEES. You can't pay them? FUTURE OPTIONS! This shit is business 101. I can't decide if these guys are HORRIBLE at business or just that greedy.

This forum has given me hope that we might see justice for the many women and men and children who have experienced trafficking, rape and torture. I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor and was raped by a priest as a young adult. I network with hundreds of other survivors and personally know several ritual abuse survivors. Never before have I thought we could realistically do more than "comfort the wounded;" that we could possibly see perpetrators, powerful people, brought to justice. Now I do have that hope, and it's thanks to you, Putt, and to the team you have brought together. You are doing the work of the Lord. Sorry if that offends you. We could just as well say you are, quite possibly- saving lives.

Part of the reason there's belief voat was attacked was because v/pizzagate found some real damning leads shortly before the incident happened.

Thanks Putt; I think anyone over the age of 20 can totally relate. Of course there are some boaters with the maturity and personal development of people under 18, so that can quickly lead to issues.

Voat is one the best sites I have experienced since the Internet became a normal household service. The information flow here is bar none the best source. I tell people about the information I find in the Voat data stream, weeks sometimes months before they see it on theirs, if at all.
Targets of PG research hate us, and that means we are doing it right.
Chin up Putt. It's good you spend time with your family. Because as I learned a couple weeks ago. People you think will be in your life forever can slip away from you in a matter of hours. Making bullshit problems at work or elsewhere in the world seem miniscule and trite.
If anyone gives you gives you shit about how is place is ran. Just think of what is really important in life and tell them to get fucked.

If they can't spread their obvious propaganda then nobody will get to see who they are and they will just find other ways to do it. If we keep them spread out thin they will weaken and fade!
MaximilianAldorfer ago
I deleted my account, from both preview and the "real" site when it came back up because there was no explanation. That account was, I think, at least 1.5 years old.
I had no idea what happened but the rumor mill was (and still is) voat.co is a honeypot now, that law enforcement agents are now involved and looking to bring people up on charges regarding "hate speech", "obscenity" and "conspiracy association".
Yeah, I hope it's all bullshit. I WANT it to be all bullshit.
However, nobody used the Gab.ai Voat.co account to updates us, nor the Twitter account. there was no explanation and when you came back you were snarky as fuck.
So yeah, uneasy. Communication is important.

"The theories are all over the place"
Oh you bet! For a while I thought someone was going to say that alien kikes have taken over and the jew-machine was secretly scraping Voat data to [d]reddit. It's funny AF to watch the facebook-mentality at work. But it shows how people will simply create their own reality when no information is available. It seems the option to just use the site and enjoy it doesn't exist.
We all get those down times. I have one too atm, but we must persevere, right Putt? Personally, I couldn't care less about updates, or how often they are done. As long as the site functions, why update? Save for code-issues, breaches, or code-related 'mechanics'.
Do what you need to do. I woudln't be surprised if there aren't people here you could 'recruit' in an emergency, and I bet they'd be more than happy to help out.

Yeah, I can see how you might be down about voat. It has shifted significantly from how it started. I'm not exactly sure when the change started, but it is definitely much less about free speech and much more about being intentionally repulsive lately.
I personally think it's a phase, like those ugly teen years every kid goes through. Stick through it and it will be rewarding, I think.

Branching out into stating the obvious, you need more warm bodies. At least 1. Ideally 3-4. Where you get trustworthy people to log on to the voat servers I have no idea. "I" am trustworthy of course. But you have absolutely no way to know that.
Welcome to the REAL day to day hell of every security organization in the history of the world. In my observation of the corporate world about 20-30% of sysadmin hiring decisions were a mistake simply due to raw incompetence to not delete the wrong directory. Amplify that with zealots that sincerely want you dead (figuratively or literally) and it is amazing any country can keep any secret for more than 3 seconds.

place should be a chan..., simple as that... but the attention whoring and the socialistic desire to manipulate through socialism also has an important criteria in that root...about that news shit.. if organized propaganda there then it will not move here since thsi oplace is not an objecitve for that... if random frustrated or other categories ofnewsers
i also callem sewers then theyll just fucking fuck the shit even worse.. i mean its good shit to fight fire with fire... since thatll better keep the socialists in deeper sewers but those randoms are also socialists...KingChem ago
@Puttitoutt @Atko I understand burnout man, I cant begin to fathom the workload that would be running a site like this that really lets everybody have a free for all at what they say. I hope that you know so many people appreciate you and what you do even if they express that appreciation by calling you a dirty niggerfaggotkike fuck hole. There is no other 'voat' to be had, no where that will take the niggers, the faggots and the kikes all in kind and let them say all the things they want to. Some of us may be mean old goats, but you've made a really powerful thing work and for me and so many others. So, from the bottom of my heart, you are the best niggerfaggot(s) a faggotkike could ask for.

PuttItOut, so glad to hear you spent some quality time away. Burnout is a terrible thing to carry. Sometimes, we just need a break.
Wherever you decide to go from here with Voat, you should be proud you have already changed the world and made it a better place.
I don't know how closely you follow pizzagate happenings, or the White House leaker known as "Q", but the thousands of threads of research posted by pizzagoats over the past year and a half and graciously and courageously hosted by you is constantly accessed by those attempting stop the trafficking of kids and fight elite corruption. Someone on 8chan called Voat "the largest knowledgebase of pedophile research and researchers in the world." We've become the place parents whose kids are being groomed come to find out how to get cops to do something about it. The place survivors come to put their stories on the record and make sense of the terrible things that have happened to them. The place folks can find now-scrubbed evidence of elite corruption and the network of interwoven relationships that protects it. I've been told repeatedly that people in high places are paying attention, and the fact that we're the most shilled spot on the internet leads me to believe it's probably true. With hundreds of resignations of powerful people, over 24,000 sealed indictments piled up, and some of the first ones unsealed having directly to do with elite child trafficking, I think the day is coming soon when your mom will be bragging to her friends about her son's free-speech website and the role it played in the Great Awakening. :-)
Vindicator ago
It's not just sealed indictments, resignations and arrests...our unrelenting free colonoscopies of Hollywood pedos may be bearing fruit as well. The Academy of Motion Pictures finally, after decades, has booted pedo Roman Polanski and Bill Cosby: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2529042.

That the issue was something boring and mundane was exactly what we wanted and needed to hear, and the best way to dispel panic. A sudden black-out and no canary update makes users assume the worst.
marzipanpaste ago
the mother visit excuse is not convincing, whoever you are
MaximilianAldorfer ago
II agree. t literally takes 1 minute to give an update on the state of Voat.co using their Twitter or Gab.ai accounts. Wasn't done.
"As you can see site is down, 503 error, working on it, hang tight goats" all it would have took.

Burnout sucks ass. Take care of yourself - lots of rest, some exercise, good food. I hope you feel more like yourself again soon! And don't be down about voat. It's a pretty unique online experience, I have to say - there is no other place where I can call someone a nigger faggot cunt kike and not get banned. Sure, it's not huge, and yeah, reddit likes to shit all over us sometimes. But here we are, ticking away. You did good. Now go get some sleep, faggot.
Pubiclouse ago
I haven't been here as long as all these faggoats but I was wrecked and was thinking the worse. I think Voat is the bees knees and was moping around like a hormonal bitch. Thanks for the update putt and atko are just geniuses for keeping this train rolling the way they do. I've went to reddit unfortunately which sent me to Boat app and preview.voat then to phuks nice folks but not my cup of tea finally to the 8ch... Nothing like having Voat back up. I appreciate you all because y'all my niggerfaggots. Except the kike shills

chronos ago
@puttitout - not sure if you will see this but will put it out there. It is obvious that the admin / business / management of Voat takes a heavy toll on you. I see it clearly since I have very similar issues in my life. You are a coder and do great things when left alone enough to focus on it. Same for me (other areas, not coding).
The real key man is you have to really figure out how to offload those things that wear you out and distract from what you are good at.
The problem is that figuring out that part is similar to admin / management etc. And it sucks and is not fun and takes its toll. Speaking again from personal experience.
I have had some success with offloading. But it does cost me to get it setup. But if it works, it frees me to go back to what I love and am good at.
I know you have made efforts in those areas specifically with the subverse rules update and janitor level mods which is good, but obviously not enough.
What I would do if I were you is make a spreadsheet of every "task" that you hate doing or is hard for you to do. Just list out every single thing you wish you didn't have to do. Then work in the 2nd column which is how you could possibly offload it. If you haven't done this already, you may be surprised that some things could actually easily be offloaded once you take the time to really think about it and come up with an offload plan.
Taking it a step further, the solution to offloading could be seemingly impossible. Find a person to do X. Or raise X funds. Those become part of a secondary list. How to find people or raise funds?
Just pick a problem at a time and find a way to offload it. Based on my observation you are in firefighter mode and when you get some time, you try to upgrade / tweak / revamp the site. But those daily fires (SGIS, DDOS etc) just take such a heavy toll you end up with not even enough time for the good stuff, leaving Voat an unwelcome burden.
Speaking for myself, I've come to really love Voat and look forward to it every day. I hope it does not go away. But we are a community with zero power to do anything if you call it quits or get hit by a bus or whatever other than to migrate.
And THANK YOU for the update.
Hope this helps,
chronos

Nice try. Not volunteering for the job at all. Would not take it if offered. Got my own full plate in life. Just trying to throw a bone to Putt. i see lots of advice and criticism, but not so much concrete steps he could take to get out of firefighting mode.

12656996? ago
Putts Please indulge me, Q suggested that voat was shut down because we were "over the target". Is it possible for (((someone))) to fill disk space? Possibly by forcing voat to create log files or something similar? Qs been saying a lot of crazy things and you're in a unique position to add (or subtract) authenticity from one of them.
RiverWind ago
Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully, prior to "going dark" you mentioned to Atko that you were doing so and provided a reason. This would have helped the situation.
Because of you considerable efforts, goats had become accustomed to a high level of reliability for the website. That is quite an achievement. It shakes trust though, when that isn't sustained. However, we have been able to see how resilient Voat is and the community helped pull itself back together again.
Thanks for your efforts!

Bab and I have had problems with pro pedophile censorship on /v/Pizzagate. I was told it was wrong by @Vindicator to name the gay pedophile cop Christopher Kent Bowersox that took away my first born because it offended him as a fellow gay pedophile.
/v/pizzagate/2500972/ /v/ProtectVoat/2499289
Vindicator went on the pro-pedophile censorship crusade 5 mins after I told him not o censor Bab's link on the OTO child sex cult https://8ch.net/pol/res/11454429.html /v/pizzagate/2496874
As a result I have to post everything in /v/pizzagayte that gets trolled regularlly by the SBBH pedo squad constantly linking to kiwifarms that says it's wrong to be against the Child Pimping Pedo Camp Jeju International English Village who's boss Lee Chan Won is now in jail, known to publish child porn and on the first page of their thread on me they threatened to kill my mother..
@PuttitOut - if you think it's acceptable for them to link to a blog that puts up my mothers house and address and makes death threats and the no Doxxing rule isn't enforced, does that mean those who are doing it to me are fair game too? I can dox them too and put up pictures of their houses and threaten to kill the SBBH pedos when they get doxxed just like they are doing for me - go biblical on the pedo scum for fun?
I've already done it once to an austistic pedophle jew who was trolling me on dailystormer when I was baited over there by @European88 a now jailed jewish terrorist Joshua Rye Goldberg who was doing stories on Garry Burns the pedophile I'm fighting in Australia.
https://cipworldwide.org/jacob-blaustein/
His comments got deleted after I doxxed him: https://www.skepticink.com/prussian/2014/04/27/im-disappointed-in-the-neoreactionaries/
So please confirm the no doxxing rule is not being enforced - or if it is. If it's ok for @srayzie and her alts to run /v/hojuruku we link to pedo CP websites all day page - I guess I'll have no choice but to dox the mother of muslim gang rape love

I also understand the reason you dropped off the grid, but for that reason and others I believe at least one or two trustworthy goats should be crowned new admins. Alternatively give us a way to donate so you can hire professionals. No man is an island, Putt. We're here if you need us.

To the people that were paranoid about this site being a honey trap - so what if it is? I haven't seen anyone breaking the law here. I even followed a voaters comment suggestion and image-searched on ddg "voat" and I did see pictures of adolescent girls, which were sourced from two jailbait subs. Those pictures aren't illegal, why you would look at them all the time is morally questionable - but you can't go to jail by hosting those images. If the site had been compromised, what interaction with it would have caused you to be targeted? Is there a secret sub deconstructing kabbalah into something else to be used as a weapon against the proxies of yaldabaoth I do not gnow about?

You owe no one an apology here, even with as much as we all enjoy Voat.co. My mom passed away over 3 years ago and I'd disconnect from everything too if I could spend a few more uninterrupted days with her. Trust me, after she is gone you won't be sorry at all for the personal time you carved out to spend with her. Thanks & much appreciation for all your efforts to make Voat a reality.
Darl_Von_Kibble ago
You took time off to be with you mom?!? I need time off after spending time with mine.
I'm glad you took that time off for yourself. If you can, try to spend a little time on, near, or in the ocean. That hits a mental reset button. Surf fishing on a lightweight setup is hard to beat, imo.
Absent that, try playing a round of 1-club golf. That's a sort of annual ritual for me and it's surprisingly engaging. Sadly, I might putt about as well with a 6-iron as one of my many expensive putters.

Don’t be down about voat! What you are doing is amazing, even if people deliberately try to make the site and users seem ugly.
You are doing a lot of good that many people appreciate, even when some of the top links are spammed with ugly and childish hatred.
As long as you keep the last bastion of free speech going, users will keep increasing, and then the hate subs and threads will slowly become sidelined and buried.
Ignore all the mean comments directed at you as well. Every wound taken for righteousness’ sake is a mark of glory. If you weren’t doing such a good job, then you wouldn’t be a target for the arrows and accusations.
You guys are great and we love you.

I am soooooo blooming happy your back! Geez Sir, it's been eye opening indeed. Your safety was paramount, you not giving up on us misfits equally IMPORTANT.
I have met so many people on here that would jump at the chance to help you. Let us know we are here for you and I am so sorry for all the abuse you suffer please know many goats suffer that abuse daily too, truly you are not alone in this.
Thanks for updating the Canary and giving us feedback on the blackout.
Take care Sir, praying for relief and also that you are rejuvenated to do what the Almighty has called you to, whatever that may be!

Glory_Beckons ago
It's perfectly understandable you can't be on the ball 24/7/365. And Murphy's Law takes care of the rest.
But the real lesson here should be that Voat has grown into something that is getting too big to be a one-admin operation. Too many people are affected by a failure like this. People to whom Voat has great value and is nearly irreplaceable.
It's difficult to trust others with something you've built, much less strangers on the internet... and especially with the nature of this website. Still, you should really make an effort to build a small team you can ease into incrementally trusting with access to things. So that they can be there to deal with these issues when you cannot. And just share the workload of maintenance and development. Especially if you think you might be even busier with other things in the future, which it does sound like.

There's the Putt we know. Thanks for everything, and sorry we get a little crazy without you. I'm glad you got a break to be with your mom. Family's important.

YouveSeenTheButcher ago
There is an inherent drive in humans to rebel against authority and you are the ultimate authority here on Voat.
Some people have had bad experiences with authortative figures in their lives and the moment their perception of how an authority should act, be, and what an authority should do, get's challenged by reality, all the feelings of betrayl from past experiences bubble up and burst.
It's a great site and I am grateful for what you've created here and what you've done.
I respect the fact that you're not (nor willing to) sacrficing your life and relastionships for Voat. That's not fair to your family and friends nor to yourself.
I'm also grateful and respect that you've honored your mother and her time.
Now would be a great time for those who were short with Putt to apologize to him.
Ask yourself if you're brave enough to reciprocate the humility extended to you.
VoatsNewfag ago
Thanks puttitout! I think a short timely update like "I wanted to spend a quiet week with my mom and turned all notifications off, voat run out off disk space during that time" could've had prevented a lot of speculation.
I think it was much worse than the downtime was when you came back and still left us in the dark. It makes one question why.
Voat can be tough to love and I hope you're not tired of us yet. Don't forget that the majority myself included appreciates what you do.

FreedomToast ago
People may respond negatively, but respect that the majority can fully understand the idea of being burnt out and needing a recharge. The edge of the base will attack you making a perception of an overall community voice, but they speak for their small niche. I'm more saddened that Voat can lead to your significant psychological depletion and a necessary vocational retreat.
Voat is great and you have an opportunity to build something novel, but don;t neglect your own values. Our modern western world strives work working constantly to produce, and that can be a result. If you prefer a reasonable work-life balance, don't let those social pressure weigh you down. They are not the lifestyle you wish, therefore they are wrong - regardless of what users of investors say. You should live for you. The user base will accept this bumps long the ride. Your genuineness is drastically more important than the server result.
I trust Voat more know that the servers fell apart knowing you were human, rather than some isolated PR statement. You took a small vacation, I full respect that. Fuck any negative rebukes you receive - they are selfish. You cannot be expected to burn yourself out and not allow a personal recharge. The people who chastise you otherwise have no concept of burning themselves out and are ignorant. Do not value their opinion as much as you feel obligated to.
You found a new problem and now you dealt with it. That is it. Anything beyond that has no concept of a job like yours.
I hope your break could be as relaxing as you hoped and if not I encourage you to take more time off. If you reject your sense of personal recovery you are accepting living a life of social slavery. The average person doesn't expect that of you, but there are people that will - do not let manipulate you..

middle_path ago
Thank you for taking the time to explain it all to us. And man, I totally get the burn out. As a user of this site I'm getting really jaded by the content/users here.
If I can be devil's advocate. You need help with this site. I'm not volunteering, but if you plan on taking a week off you could leave someone in charge. Or you can just fuck off elsewhere and leave the site up to someone else entirely. But this place is a puppy. You decide to adopt it and now you're upset it's shitting all over the floor and eating your shoes. This place is your responsibility and your recent comments have been pretty shitty (but, completely understandable).
I do like you, I like Voat. There are a lot of users and content here I find difficult to find elsewhere. If you want this place to have a long future, you really need to consider finding some full time help.
I know you like to pat yourself on the back for running this place single handedly, but that is your choice. So when it all goes down because you take a week off, you lose out on your cookie and right to bitch.
I'm not trying to put myself in opposition of you as a person. I just don't think you've handled the past 10 days very well and you need to take a long hard look at what exactly you want from this place.
Love you, man.

I could throw together a zenoss instance to monitor your servers for you, which would email you when dumb things like that happen, if you want. I monitor a few dozen server instances this way, and it works for me.

The downtime was a real kick in the balls. It felt like you guys were giving us just enough welfare to survive and then it was cut with no explanation given. It was like we were starving and about to chimp out and robbing other sites of their bandwidth just so we could survive online and then just when we thought we couldn't take it any longer we begun using the preview site like it was a fema camp. I remember the feeling when I tried to access the normal site again and saw it load. It made me feel like Randy.
https://kek.gg/i/6fMgqG.png
Since then we've acted out because first off we truly care about you guys and this site. If we didn't no shits would have been given and nothing said at all because of our lack of caring but we love you guys and the work you've done. More than that most conspiracy theories have turned out to be horribly accurate so it's in our nature to doubt and disbelieve. Most will call us crazy but again it's only because we care that we dig deeper and throw everything at the wall to find out the truth. So yeah my point is we're acting like crazy lovers that are driving themselves mad with all kinds of unfounded theories of why you left us for a few days but it's only because we really do love everything you've done for us and when we got a taste of life without you it broke us. We psyched out and I'm sorry about that but just know we did it from a place of love and not hate or anything negative like that.
I hope you enjoyed the time with your mother and time away from the internet. You pick her over us again though and I'll fucking cut you lol
Slayfire122 ago
I'm glad you were able to spend time with your mother and that everything's alright. Out of curiosity though, how much disk space does Voat have? Perhaps you could through us a few numbers that involve gigabits and dollar signs.
Also, I don't think anyone had any idea you've been checking the servers twice a day. Must be exhausting.
CRKT_M16Z ago
@PuttItOut Hey man, thanks for the update. But also, take care of you and yours, first and foremost.
That being said, the downtime really made me realize just how much Voat means to me and how much I appreciate it.
I know sometimes it just feels like a bastion of negativity and in many ways, it is. But at the same time, it's also more than just that.
Voat can also be the place where we can see that which the powers that be try to hide from us. Voat has been an eye opening experience, but for the better, despite all the negativity. It's also one of the last canaries in the coal mine of free speech.
Really, I'm just rambling now.
I just want to say thank you for all you do. I appreciate it. Oh! And @Atko too. And thanks for putting up with our bullshit. Goat know some folks out there go crazy with it.
MadWorld ago
XD So my prediction of you visiting a friend in an Amish Village was quite close!
As usual, I am very glad to hear from you. More importantly, I am glad that you get to spend your time with your mother :-)

Thanks for the update puttko, you is the bestest. Like i said, don't let a vocal minority of chemtrail scientists that cant hold in their verbal diarrhea discourage you, and take whatever breaks you need. And remember that some of them are paid to compel you into abandoning voat.
Your ancestors are smiling at you, can the shills say the same?

taking time to go offline is important for mental health. too bad you've got this side-project that makes it virtually impossible. hope you find a solution (alerts of some sort? a bat-phone number only most trusted goats have access to? what do i know). haven't been here long in the scheme of things & all the old-timers talking about how voat used to be tell me that you weren't anticipating the types of reddit refugees your free speech project attracted. it can get ugly & heated, a true reflection of the times right now (at least where i am geographically)
everyone has to find their way to inner peace before we can project that onto our world. here's hoping you find yours. with gratitude-

haveyoursafespace1 ago
This really tells you all you need to know about voat, the fake news. Especially when you consider the site promotes itself as all about free speech, when in fact it is the exact opposite.
I doubt putt is even a real person, if he is, he has no integrity or principles whatsoever. Proven over and over. Yet every time he 'graces' voat with the most trivial of comments, out come the hundreds of fake accounts to see which can get the most attention for sucking his cock the hardest.
It is pretty fucking hilarious, except for the poor dumb fucks who are clueless, that is pretty fucking sad.

Let me know what I can do. Square? Venmo? Marriage for my health benefits and citizenship? /wink
Dancing_Queen ago
@PuttItOut when you get a chance can you please run a deleted sticky query for v/neofag. We’re currently stuck at only 2 stickies with an error saying only 3 stickies at a time allowed, any help would be appreciated.
Glad to hear you had a great time with your mother and took some much needed downtime from the daily drama of voat.
Disappointed ago
Check through v/voatdev there were some solutions to this. I think one involved remembering which sticky was up last and re-sticking then unsticking it. @PeaceSeeker I saw you talking about this at some point.
searchvoat.co can help you search by sub if you use "sticky" as a search term.
Dancing_Queen ago
Yeah I already talked to him about it and he helped us out.
That solution is for the timed stickies in the mod toolbox, we actually went down to 1 after testing that out before peacekeeper have us the solution.
The other problem is that if a sticky is deleted before being unstickied it doesn’t remove it from the overall count. We only have a handful of deleted threads that could have been stickied(the rest are corn rages/spam non-sense) but there’s no way to undelete a thread and try to sticky and unsticky each one.
Disappointed ago
All good then.
Dancing_Queen ago
Yeah, hopefully we just have to get the deleted one removed and we’ll be back to 3 instead of 2.
AOU ago
Hey Putt. Glad it was only related to having quality family time. Life is short, indeed.
Do you have @Cynabuns or other trustful voaters the ability to remove themselves and ban spammers and brigading alts?
We are powerless since Cynabuns went MIA and reporting spam has been useless since months.
PS: still waiting for my donation badges.
MadWorld ago
I think a small group of site-wide janitors should be created to deal with spams, subverse transfers, and ban capacity. So that Putt doesn't need to be present to keep Voat reasonably clean. We can always ask him to step in only when necessary.
AOU ago
This has been talked and proposed almost 2 years ago.
MadWorld ago
We can apply the same concept of publicly searchable permanent log to keep the janitors in-check, in case it becomes necessary to review for potential power abuse. A small team of 3-5 entrusted users should be good enough.
AOU ago
We've discussed many possibilities, but Putt never responded.
MadWorld ago
Do you still have a record of the submissions relevant to this topic? Thanks!
AOU ago
I wish I had.
voat's page limitation prevents from accessing older pages.

Thanks for the update. I know a lot of people have been concerned, and saying some bad things to you and about you, but thank you so much for all you do here.

On Saturday, I was informed that gravity didn't exist and that it was actually magnetism - and Einstein was stupid.
I tried to explain to them that if such were true, someone sure as fuck would have emailed me or called me on the phone. I'm kinda well known in a few academic circles - someone is going to let me know if gravity is fake.
They watched a YouTube video. They're now experts!
Rotteuxx ago
Of course magnetism is behind it, everything on earth contains traces of iron, the more there is, the heavier it feels.
But it's not about weight, weight is a social construct that punishes dense people. What you perceive as "weight" is the magnetic pull force that earths has on a given object/body in relation to its iron content.
Why do you think penguins don't fly ? The pull force at the south pole is too much for anything to fly over it.
Trust me, I'm an internet metallurgist !
TheBuddha ago
I'm not going to even entertain that with rebuke. I know damned well that you know better.
On the other hand, the other poster was pretty earnest in their belief. All because they watched a YouTube video and became convinced.
I'm not saying this to stroke my ego. My ego is already too big. I'm 100% certain that if gravity were proven to actually be magnetism, someone (probably quite a few people) are going to tell me by email, text, and telephone. On the list of people to hear about it first, I'll be in the top 1,000,000, guaranteed. Somebody is going to let me know. If you could even remotely discredit GR, you're getting a Nobel Prize.
Rotteuxx ago

Sometimes I just entertain myself by trying to think stupid thoughts like that, it requires some effort honestly.
TheBuddha ago
I'm fond of reading and citing scholarly works about people who believe in kooky theories, like conspiracy theories and things like that. There's a whole lot to type about it, but it works out that the vast majority of them are mentally ill, marginalized, impoverished, poorly educated, have low intelligence, and lie at the extremes for their political views. There are some intelligent people who believe them, but they believe things that are outside of their domain of expertise and suffer from the various other mentioned traits.
Believing things without substantive evidence is not smart. If someone says something like 'connect the dots' then they can be safely ignored or mocked. Things also need to be falsifiable for them to be believed. The vast conspiracy of the deep state shadow government that is can't be proven to exist because they control the message is a fucking stupid thing to believe in. No, they aren't seeing indicators that everyone else is too stupid to see, they're mentally ill and delusional.
This, of course, pisses them off when I tell them. Pointing out that I have a pretty prolific history of being right, sane, and intelligent doesn't help. Pointing out that people know each other through the complex web of society and that one instance of a behavior doesn't implicate the group is also decried. Basically, their beliefs are their security blanket and the only thing in their miserable lives that gives them meaning.
I mostly feel sorry for them, but not enough to stop mocking them.
There, you have a novella for the day!

It was mentioned a lot during the blackout? They are less likely to tolerate overt racism. That's about all I know.
Chimaira92 ago
I must have missed it? I only saw people bring up preview.voat and Gab.ai.
I hope this just means people being "Edgy" and not legitimate facts or anything.
coopzy ago
it's the edgy one

Is saying that all niggers are black, but not all blacks are niggers a fact or edgy?

Cheers for verifying. I think i'll find good use with phuks and poal.

Dunno.

I believe he was referring to phuks.

Would voat still be voat without Crensch though? Who would remind me to hate the Jews?
uvulectomy ago
I mean we've still got @KosherHiveKicker to remind us of all the times when JEW MEDIA IS SILENT. =P
MadWorld ago
But @Crensch is the go-to guy to point out the jews and he is very good at it... @KosherHiveKicker is there to remind us. They both serve different functions.
Slayfire122 ago
Amalek. I'm sure he's still here somewhere.
NumbDigger ago
I started after after Amalek "quit for our sins". It sounds awesome though, as a middle kid I enjoy some vicarious butt hurt. That's probably why I'm here. That, and truth.

Bullshit is my reason d'être.
tanukihat ago
@PuttItOut what are your plans to hire another admin, and take some of this strain off your back while providing a second set of eyes and ears on the site?
uvulectomy ago
Hire? What kind of salary could he possibly offer that would entice someone to put up with all of our autistic screeching on a regular basis?
RevanProdigalKnight ago
I see "hire" as more of a general term for bringing someone else on in this case.
firex726 ago
I know you're being sarcastic but as people have pointed out we have millions in bitcoin so it should be no issue to hire a dedicated team to handle Voat.
Wahaha ago
Someone claimed all the bitcoins voat had were converted into cash recently. I'm not into bitcoin, so I didn't check the claim. Also, laziness. Spreading FUD on the other hand? Sign me right up!

Putt should have to do it all by himself as punishment for leaving us alone for so long! REEEE

I'm almost inclined to agree with you. Voat should be chained to him, like a stone, to ever weigh upon his brow.

Or like the albatross around his neck.

Or like an eagle that pecks out his innards every morning, only for them to grow back in the evening.

you are the worst thing to happen to voat, and one of two things will happen: you will give the site to better, more capable people, such as myself; or, my replacement will come online and in ushering in a new era of actual free speech, voat will continue to dwindle and die.
you failed human rights, you failed all goats, you failed voat and atif. i sincerely hope you get what you deserve.
BaneGhostiSwear ago
you have time for this comment, but not time for subverse transfers for a whole year, time to take ad money nor donations, time to bring back chat, undo any of the censorship, explain why you ban people for upvoting me, but allow shills to brigade hundreds of thousands of points freely, and more!
you're not fooling anyone, nigger faggot.
markrod420 ago
you are like cancer dude. if he banned people for upvoating you it was probably because they all come from your IP because they are you because no one else is retarded enough to upvoat you. kike faggot.
heroicdanger ago
There's nobody in the world who you are important enough to, to do this.
BaneGhostiSwear ago
lol nice fallacy.
over 400 users were banned for upvoting me while paid shills were downvoat brigading me 20,000 points into account restrictions (so as to mostly censor me off of voat.) although it didn't work that well, it became obvious to hundreds of goats that they were indeed taking over, and thanks to the shills' stupidity i was able to accomplish spreading the truth about the takeover of voat.

When dividing by 10 you just need to move the decimal place over one spot. So 1 (or 1.0) becomes 0.1

Disk space is what the error message said, too. https://my.mixtape.moe/siifxj.png

Nice. I got some bizarre verbose errors and didn't feel like digging into them.
There were people legitimately arguing that it was "more likely" and "certainly" SJWs, a secret government organization, police, etc... The many posts are still up on the preview site.

The crazy part is, that the conspiracy stuff cannot ever be fully ruled out.

I mentioned it too, a few hours before Atko fixed it, back here:
Although I should have known it couldn't be the DB, since we knew the API was still running at the time.
Alpha_Voat_Protecter ago
I never saw tbat comment when I was on the preview site.
TheBuddha ago
Yeah, the API was up so it wasn't the DB. They're almost certainly switched on the same inbound hardware, so it wasn't a configuration error. It was a standard code and not one of CF's gibberish codes. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty fluent in the field.
heygeorge ago
Imagine if you were attacked for calling this out, like some sort of kikeshilljew!
But seriously, we whites sometimes aren't 100% either. Don't tell Voat, especially because you are an Indian.

Well, I meant the important things, but music is important. You're different than most. See? You're exceptional. Never let 'em too you otherwise.
I'm should start a cult.
12654927? ago
... I remember when ya suggested disk space.
Cult? You mean the new infamous Cabal?
TheBuddha ago
Ixnay on the Cabal talk outside our private channels! LOL
And, yeah... I was able to use deductive reasoning and am actually pretty familiar with the reasons for certain errors. Not that I do anything important, but that I enjoy poking buttons.
I've also deduced some information about the infrastructure that Voat uses. The API was up and the preview site was up. Given that they are probably on the same switch, that leaves disk full as the most probable cause. There were a few other possibilities, but that was the most probable reason. The disk was on the server that houses the web server, is my official guesstimate. I'm not sure that discussing their infrastructure is a good thing in a public setting. There are those who may see that discussion and not understand it, and then make crazy claims and conspiracy theories.
I'm pretty sure I know how it is set up, at this point. I probably should have saved the verbose error messages it was chucking for a short while. I didn't, as I have no interest in looking for weaknesses and I'm not really that good at it.

Noone listens to you cuz youre a fucking liar. @puttitout “i often forget how much voat means to you all” are you fuckiing serious? Go fuck off. Literally in the breath right after you say how fuckbook is censoring everything. Fuckoff put if this place doesn’t mean much to you or if it could that easily slip your mind on what this place means to people who use it then just give up. Tell your mom to fuck herself as well. Lol your mom who the fuck do you think we are? Youre really gonna blame this shit on your mom? Fuck off go read another book maybe voat will dissapear for good next time so you dont have to be bothered and you can go have tea with your mum

I love how you let the shills spaz out, post their ultimatums, and then updated the warrant canary. Props to you for getting some quality time with your fam, that is very important. I've had people spaz out at me for the exact same reason in the past. Consider that these people probably have issues because they themselves did not spend enough quality time with their own fam.

We're listening. Well, at least I am. Murphy's Law went into effect here, anything that could go wrong did go wrong while ya needed some quiet time. Thanks again, @Atko!

But what if this is what the handlers who took over voat just posted with his account? How can we be sure it's him? He really needs to get on national TV and show us his birth certificate and anus print to prove it's him.

Fake news fake news! Putt has in fact been abducted by the british royal lizard family and has been replaced by a newer version of the zuckerbot.
Anyone telling you otherwise is a filthy ass shill.

Closure? No, this was all apart of the plan!
DieselBustersYes ago

TheBuddha ago
It's a 503 error. That's almost always disk space. I was informed that my speculation made me a kikeshillniggerfaggot and that you'd 'more likely' been kidnapped by SS Jews.
So, we had our weekly guitar thread around the burning embers of the preview site and I decided to blame it all on aliens.
Man, you got so many anal probes in my regaling folks of your plight! Damned aliens!
Anyhow, good to see you're okay. Take a breather, you've earned it. Give a notice when BTC can be donated again?
Alpha_Voat_Protecter ago
To be fair, some of us (like me) never saw your argument that this was a disk space error, and you can bet that a lot of the trolls (like Amalek) used the downtime to spread as much chaos and distrust as possible.
TheBuddha ago
'Snot my fault y'all didn't see - I started it way back on Day 1 of the outage and posted it on 8ch and the preview site. Sheesh!
Alpha_Voat_Protecter ago
I had completely forgotten about the preview site for several days after Voat went down, and I was only reminded of it by a comment on a r/conspiracy thread that I found after a Google search.
TheBuddha ago
A bunch congregated there and a number congregated on 8ch.net in the Voat board. There's a dedicated board for Voat and people went there.
I think it's https://8ch.net/voat/index.html.
GoatyMcGoatface ago
SS Jews sounds like a relaxing cruise ship where you don't have to worry about ovens or the implications of being a rent-seeking parasite
TheBuddha ago
I was a bit puzzled by that one, I mean WTF are SS Jews?
Yes, I know some Jews made it into the SS. I'm pretty sure they're all either dead or so old they won't be 'kicking doors in.'
SithEmpire ago
Slight nitpick, I have only seen/caused 503s due to a HTTP proxy/load-balancer being unable to contact the back-end service.
TheBuddha ago
Yeah - it's possible that it is something else, but I went with the most probable in my experience.
ConservativeDev ago
This is the correct answer. The application servers could be down for a variety of reasons but a 503 doesn't indicate why.
McFluffy ago
the fact that that was still up to me was a clue that it wasn't something nefarious. it they wanted to shut down voat why not also go after the test server too?
it either wasnt actually an attack or our enemies are pretty stupid, both of which can be dealt with.
TheBuddha ago
And the API still worked just fine. Maybe the shadow government is comically inept?
VIP740 ago
I thought that might be you.
TheBuddha ago
LOL Yup... Damned aliens!
I tried telling people that it was most likely a disk full issue. They called me a bunch of names, decided they were smarter than me, and continued to blame SJWs, Jews, the government, and pretty much everything else.
I'm not sure what motivates people to ignore or argue with people smarter than they are.
VIP740 ago
How do you know someone's smarter until you've argued with them to make them prove it? There might be other ways... but they're probably less fun.
TheBuddha ago
It's not like I don't have a prolific history of being right! ;-)

Put still hasn't ruled out the possibility that jews deliberately overloaded to servers in order to bring the site down.

Yes, JIDF and Mossad care a lot what we post, it is not about v/pizzagate or v/GreatAwakening (even though 8ch also had DDOS at the same time as us and they also have PG and Q threads)
