I know we're all still reeling from the news that Voat is going the way of OAG, but time is short. We should probably discuss our escape plan and get a consensus going.
The options that have been brought up so far:
- Poal.co
- Ruqqus.com
- 9chan.tw
- Sankaku Complex
- OAG.win
Each has its pros and cons (with most of the cons due to heavy-handed moderation).
Does anyone have any suggestions?

how about option 6, we pull what voat did https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit and preferably self host
yes, I know, it's Reddit. Voat started with this if my understanding is right. Maybe some of the more tech literate of us can jury-rig something out of this that is at least tolerable as for funding... well there's not much besides ads or donation's, and streaming looks like it might be on fire soon. As for ads I have a few idea's, no one will sponsor OAG directly so a shell website or two would be needed, nothing fancy just enough to look legit. As for the ad's try to get pay per click, or set up an ad stream or something folks can idle on it's not much but it's a start hope someone thinks of something better we can't keep running.

Yeah, holy shit, am I glad I never got into streaming.
Did you hear about how Twitch streamers were getting DMCA strikes for in-game sound effects?

yeah i heard and soon feloney charges are likely added on top if the covid stimulus bill goes thru

Felony charges for the wrong sound effect... Not even surprised anymore.

Yeah, which gives me even less incentive to stream in the first place.
Having "fuck you" money doesn't mean shit if you're having to self edit.

and alot of them don't have fuck you money to begin with this is just icing on the cake as now copyright trolls and abusers can now ruin peoples lives at whim at lot easier also makes censorship easier too i bet sidalpha is gonna have an interesting time with his dirtydevs content
