voat got filled with shills and the admins disappeared, atko for a month
the admins came back and were very different, aloof, non transparent, making decisions about voat without community consent nor even knoweldge (the reverse of how it always was)
shills started taking power all over where they could,
pushing subversive tactics of censorship instead of overt ones like on reddit. chilling effect, character assassination attacks on vocal users, tone and behavior policing
atko leaves as CEO of voat, giving it to dev in charge puttitout.
atko still may browse and use voat as a user, but is no longer in charge.
unknown: what the fuck happened to cause the devs to leave for a montha nd two months, and come back the opposite of how they used to act - for months, until sli.mg dies, atko leaves, censorship tools are increased....
oh did i mention the Sli.mg devs disappeared the same day that atko and putt did 6 months ago? they are still missing.
from the internet.
ffs
there's so much coincedence, it can't not be a conspiracy.
Wait, was this all in conjuncture with the guy who claimed the warrant canary was removed from the TOS? It would all make sense though I honestly don't pay that much attention to the happenings.
That is good to hear, I remember a discussion about adding one a long time ago but I have too few fucks to give to actually follow up and make sure it's still there.
People like you are what ideally people like me (people who stay here ) become but you know, I'm a scrub.
