They've come for us. Again. (announcements)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

Buckle up. Voat is currently being hit with a malicious attack. This couldn't have possibly happened at a worse time for me personally and I may have to put Voat into lockdown mode or even set it to Read Only. Perhaps we will resurrect the
bit privilege checking goat (you know you miss having your bits privilege checked).

I'm hoping that the code is in a good enough place to handle a majority of the incoming traffic, but expect slow responses.

I will try my best to keep Voat online. Wish me luck.

Edit:

I'm still waiting for the main attack. Every DDOS we've been hit with before follows a pattern of probing exploits, quiet time, then the full attack. So we will see, but waiting is the hardest part

Edit 2:

As of now I feel they've postponed. After taking us down two times the morning of this announcement, I've seen no further activity. A temporary win I suppose.

Censorship indicates that we're on the right track. Soros is the final boss and his health meter is running low. A few more combos to his fronthole and it's lights out libtards.

Some people just get way too invested in their internet adventures

You have to allow yourself to be harassed on the internet. Here's a solution. Ignore the people harassing you. They'll eventually give up. Or, use a different name when posting. That guy is wanting to start trouble.

Agree and amplify is fun, and if you dont value your time take it to the end with every argument on the internet. That doesnt mean follow them around and harrass them, because you know, thats grounds for dialing up the FBI, But waste a shills time without giving them what they want.

Yeah I think some people just don't understand that the internet isn't real life. These are exactly the type of people who make the internet their wife. They become overly intimate with complete strangers and they see every comment as a life-or-death struggle to become emotionally invested in like they are protecting their own children. I'd like to think that it's just part of learning how to deal with words on a screen, but I suspect the problem may be a little deeper than that and that the internet is just good at exposing it and making it that much more apparent to anyone watching.

Here's a solution. Ignore the people harassing you

Simple yet underrated advice that most people should vaccinate their frontholes with before they end up becoming a Navy SEAL copypasta parody.
