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.

every migration is an influx of a new 10,000 users and if we're lucky we keep 50 really solid goats that add to our communities :)
