Why did you stop engaging with the site as much? What happened to puttitout? Can you post an identity confirmation pic? Lot of users have expressed the concerns in my above comment, not just me.
this is an imgur link. please post something like a text comment or a link to a site that doesn't openly censor people speaking freely. i refuse on constitutional grounds to click that.
my intent is to discuss shit with you. i can't do that if i can't see what you said. so i explained the situation to you in the hopes you would communicate meaningfully through a format that works for us both.
you seem uninterested in the actual conversation, so i now question why you even responded at all.
No, it wasn't, based on your very first response(which wasn't even something I posted to you)
i can't do that if i can't see what you said.
It's a small black child being cuddled by his parents, he has sudden discomfort and flips off the person with the camera, then hiccups and put's it away. Do you feel better now?
so i explained the situation to you in the hopes you would communicate meaningfully through a format that works for us both.
You explained that you are having a little tantrum and want other people to go out of their way so you can continue to do so ... I could give two fucks about your little tantrum, so I told you to fuck off.
you seem uninterested in the actual conversation
I had zero interest to begin with. I tried to make that pretty apparent, but ...
so i now question why you even responded at all.
Me too. I didn't say anything at all to you, so I don't know why you felt the need to respond, and not only that, but attack the person who provides you the platform with which to do so. Seems pretty fucking disingenuous to me.
There, now we are having a nice little conversation. Are you happy?
don't assume my intent nor intend to say what my intent is. i fucking know my intent. you don't. i've been clear about it, and yet you've got it wrong.
um. what are you trying to say with this gif? thank you for the play by play.
"go out of their way" on voat, with um fph being a big part of that very voat... and fph was banned and deleted from reddit with imgur... and you want to post to imgur on voat... and want to call users saying fuck imgur "having tantrums"
so how bout you and your little imgurtards "fuck off" fuck imgur and those that shill for them.
you have made it very apparent and have done a much better job at making it apparent since.
you may FEEL i am attacking atko, but what i am trying to do is create a DIALOGUE between users and the admins, because nearly all dialogue has broken down. i want to get to the truth of what happened to cause such dramatic change in such a conspicuous manner and coincidental timing.
i have been open and forward about this intent for a month now, since i began investigating/posting about this issue.
happiness isn't affected by external shit. that said, it brings me little joy, but yes joy nonetheless.
i appreciate you fully writing out fuck you instead of just slinging it. no sarcasm. no homo. no google.
don't assume my intent nor intend to say what my intent is. i fucking know my intent. you don't. i've been clear about it, and yet you've got it wrong.
No, no, don't misunderstand, I don't give two shits about your intent.
um. what are you trying to say with this gif? thank you for the play by play.
God damn, you're kind of fucking slow aren't you, like noticeably and shit. I was saying fuck off, I don't care what you have to say. Is THAT clear enough?
"go out of their way" on voat, with um fph being a big part of that very voat... and fph was banned and deleted from reddit with imgur... and you want to post to imgur on voat... and want to call users saying fuck imgur "having tantrums"
Sentences mother fucker, it's a thing. Use them, they help.
so how bout you and your little imgurtards "fuck off" fuck imgur and those that shill for them.
I thought I was a CTR shill, damn boy, get your head on straight.
you have made it very apparent and have done a much better job at making it apparent since.
Ok, lost me here again. See you have no subject, so, fill me in here, what have I made apparent(apparently not the stuff I was trying to make apparent, apparently).
you may FEEL i am attacking atko, but what i am trying to do is create a DIALOGUE between users and the admins, because nearly all dialogue has broken down.
No, you were attacking him. Saying you have to give him money to get his attention, when it was pretty fucking obvious, even without context that he was being sarcastic. They say stupid people can't get sarcasm, so it's possible this went right over your head.
i want to get to the truth of what happened to cause such dramatic change in such a conspicuous manner and coincidental timing.
No, you and all your other little fucktard conspiracy buddies see a moslem behind every fucking bush.
have been open and forward about this intent for a month now, since i began investigating/posting about this issue.
Investigating .... LO fucking L.
happiness isn't affected by external shit.
WTF does this even mean? Care to elaborate. Fuck dude, stay on task.
now go facebook yaself.
I don't even know how to respond to this, is this something the cool kids say now?
dode. the "money for interest" is A DIRECT QUOTE FROM A PM FROM ATKO TO ME
THAT'S A DIRECT FUCKING QUOTE.
Donate a few hundred bucks and you'll have my attention.
-atko
allso, i was referring specifically to you saying you don't give a fuck and fuck off. i got it. i just don't input it into le old decision making process.
you said "does it make you happy" i was directly responding saying my state of hapiness isn't affected by external shit but that us discussing (even at this devolved state) gives me a tiny more amount of joy than having a rousing shitposting session of giant FUCK YOUS and what not :)
we old people have no idea what the kids are saying.
in the context of recent interactions, and the rest of the pm and the situation at hand and that this is voat, the last bastion of free speech in a world full of censorship?
yes. at the VERY least (no spiracy) he may be sick of certain aspects of voating, coding, thanklessness, assholes like me with good intentions but annoying grating personalities and poor solution skills... and a million other things (like i dunno uh IRL stuff like giving up a graduate degree and getting a day job?!)...
and may be finally taking it out on users.
and what a fucking lucky break on timing that is. he can just hit a major personality shift and negative milestone for voat and his personal development as a person. ( will be linking atko comments from up to a year ago about how he just "has learned to let stuff that annoys me go and move on" paraphrased!)
but now can't just NOT hit the send button, just HAS to mouth off repeatedly, for days? the atko that LITERALLY DIDN"T HAVE ANYTHING MEAN TO SAY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF VOAT"S HISTORY. suddenly when both mods disappear for a month, come back, and putt stops voating (not coding) and atko just happens to shift from happy-open to aloof-angry?
bullshit
i call bullshit
because i smell bullshit.
something happened.
i want to know what.
free speech. "have your say" well my say is answer the question, CEO.
EDIT: sure he could have been joking. why don't you ask him.
Dude, I've been dealing with you for an hour and IM ready to quit voating. Perhaps you don't understand how these things work, so let me drop a little knowledge on you. See, first it's a hobby, and it's fun, and you're sitting around with your friends doing what you love. Then it catches on a little, and that's fine, work with the users, try to give them what they want. You work with them, and all is good. Then the influx comes, sometimes in small spurts, sometimes in huge chunks. Now things start to get a bit overwhelming, you can't keep up with the requests, people start getting restless, starting pinging and PMing you. You keep up for a while, but then they start feeling entitled, demanding shit, demanding your attention, demanding your time and demanding you listen to them. After a while, you get sick of their bullshit, and take a break. Come back and you're the enemy, you're obviously up to something, you've flipped, you're playing for the other side, SOMETHING is UP DAMNIT!
And therein lies the issue, you entitled little fucks think atko owes you something. Let me let you in on a little secret. He doesn't owe you shit. He could shut this shit down tomorrow, and walk away. He could sell it, though that might be hard with the collection of fucktards that haunts this site. No media conglomerate would touch it. So, here's this guy, providing you a platform, with which you can have your say, and you folks want to fucking shit on him and DEMAND answers. I'm am COMPLETELY on atko's side on this, and I don't even know the bloke. What I DO know, is folks like you and your little 'investigation' would make me feel like doing this less day by fucking day. And if you dumb shits don't quit pushing, they might just walk away.
why the fuck would you quit?! so this atko you're so "on his side" you'd just leave because one little goat "has his say" and you "don't like it" welp. some staunch defender of the atko you are.
and ok. so are you saying that i am uknowingly participating in making that worse?!
you are assuming both devs hit that point - - on the same day doesn't have any significance.
big assumption. also, again, if atko had just directly answered my questions, instead of directly evading them, i'd be off posting til's.
you entitled little fucks
more personal attacks. and you were doing so welll.
doesn't owe you shit
repeating the script again.
funny people have been offering help, and we haven't seen any new faces. what happened to flamino? nurdzoidz? (sp) etc that whole "new crew"
there's something you don't understand: the atko before he came back all unatko that original sauce atko is the atko i'm behind. i'm on that atko's side. the transparent, friendly admin who just "lets shit slide off his back"
or are you suggesting he's so weak willed that war and death threats he can handle, but direct questions about finances warrant canaries and lack of admin interaction with community is too hard to handle.!?!?
why the fuck would you quit?! so this atko you're so "on his side" you'd just leave because one little goat "has his say" and you "don't like it"
You really don't get sarcasm do you? I'll try to keep that in mind, however, I will have to ask for your forgiveness if fall astray as sarcasm is essentially built into the system.
some staunch defender of the atko you are.
Again, not a defender, don't know the bloke. Remember now, I just said that. Let's just put it this way, I've been his position and I walked away. With a load of cash mind you, but I walked away and it was the BEST decision I ever made.
and ok. so are you saying that i am uknowingly participating in making that worse?!
ABSO FUCKING LUTELY you are. Things like your little 'investigation'. Investigate why he hasn't banned your stupid ass ... I probably would have.
you are assuming both devs hit that point - - on the same day doesn't have any significance.
No, you don't get it. I don't fucking care.
big assumption. also, again, if atko had just directly answered my questions, instead of directly evading them, i'd be off posting til's.
Or maybe he can just continue to ignore you and your little investigation and he's hoping eventually you'll quit and go find some other admin at whatever hole you decide to haunt next. Seriously dealing with idiots JUST LIKE YOU is what lead me to sell my site.
more personal attacks. and you were doing so welll.
I've been pretty consistently making personal attacks the whole time, calling you names, mocking you.... did you really miss all that? Perhaps you should go back and reread.
repeating the script again.
What script, he doesn't. He doesn't owe you a fucking thing. Again, he could shut this shit down right now and walk away and what recourse would you have? Seriously? Trust me, I almost did the same thing, but someone offered me an amount of money I couldn't refuse.
funny people have been offering help, and we haven't seen any new faces. what happened to flamino? nurdzoidz? (sp) etc that whole "new crew"
Dont care.
there's something you don't understand: the atko before he came back all unatko that original sauce atko is the atko i'm behind. i'm on that atko's side. the transparent, friendly admin who just "lets shit slide off his back"
Yeah, that shit gets old when you deal with enough 'investigations'.
or are you suggesting he's so weak willed that war and death threats he can handle, but direct questions about finances warrant canaries and lack of admin interaction with community is too hard to handle.!?!?
No, in case you didn't notice, I'm suggesting that dealing with folks like you is more than MOST people want to deal with. I'm suggesting he's a fucking saint for putting up with your stupid asses and allowing you to use his bandwidth. I'm saying he's got more fucking will than I do because I would have nuked the whole fucking bunch of you. Do you really think traffic to this site isn't already being saved off somewhere? Are you really that fucking naive? You don't think this place is on someones radar enough that the traffic travelling through CALI FUCKING FORNIA isn't being snooped? Jesus fucking christ, you boys are a fucking work of art.
there it is again. you're suggesting in your supporting paragraph that he's some sort of heartless dick. the last 2 years of interaction between community and atko would very much say he's a really nice caring open guy.
don't care
skipping relevant point
i made one investigation into one serious possible issue. it turns out THERE IS AN ISSUE the admins have given up running FRONT OF HOUSE. this is a fucking death bell for a social network (or a restaurant, and many other foh-having establishments)
but i guess you're attempting to use the fallacy that "so many" or
enough
investigations just makes it so burdensome some text on voat is just too much to handle.
shill tactic. try again.
so you're saying
atko started a social network
and can't handle dealing with users
well then problem solved! get a FOH admin. no administrating powers, but the official face of voat between devs and community. because clearly the admins have had enough with me, @homersimpson and @ramblinrambo because atko's gone off on all three of us not just me buddy, are you yelling at them too?
his bandwidth
voat is entirely run on donations by USERS
pick one idiot.
five eyes has all data. all voat data is on nsa servers. not at issue here.
Didn't bother reading all of this but my suspicion is that it's about the dev. not giving a fuck and that it correct. Yet again implementing some fucking chat that no one needs before fixing basic things such as the PM function and modmail.
All one gets when pointing this out is some smug message of "muh come do it if it's so easy". Completely neglecting that I don't make any money on this site nor do I have an interest in running a site. Merely pointing out that if he wants this community to grow and if he wants to make something out of it he can't just neglect basic functionality.
And it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's not harder to fix a pm tree than some fucking chat. If one even tries.

Why should he, does he owe you anything .... let me answer that for you .... NO!

hey @p0ssum, let atko copy paste that answer!
and let me pasta the rebuttal!
by his own twisted logic, he owes the users who donated something.
