There is something seriously wrong here. The codebase has not been updated. The site goes down for days without explanation. No sign of our one and only admin. @Atko comes in to save the day? Wtf?
I've waited a week. So, if @puttitout does not post an explanation by tomorrow, along with an updated canary notice I'm gone.
If you want any of my subs, please post here. First come first served. Regardless of Putt's actions...
Adios bitchachos!
Edit: All subs have been claimed and owner requests sent. No, nobody can have /v/chmod.
Edit 2: I got a response from Putt which is so fucking far out of character for him I recommend everyone run. So long!
Edit 3: Banned

Goats, While I agree the events of the last week are strange, I don't think this is a sophisticated attack.
Were this site to be hijacked by serious people, it would have been seamless, and some Putt Sock Puppet would have instantly appeared to put all of our fears to rest.
Atko's explanation was curt, what I expect from someone who tried to get out, but keeps getting pulled back in.
The last time the FBI took over a site to Honeypot it, it was with a kiddie porn site, and they IMPROVED the performance of the site to draw more "customers".
The serious people are way way to good to allow the targets(us) to catch on.
Maybe Putt is just bored with us. Running a site this big, by yourself for no money is a big drain, and is a huge potential for burnout. It can take a long time to find the motivation again after burnout had hit.
Seeing the worlds bullshit it's real and gross conspiracies it holds may make us hyper sensitive to conspiracies....maybe.
Now this is the part where I'll be branded a shill...

I think you're right.

"honeypot"...for what tho? doesnt that imply "illegal activity"...am i missing something?
all i see on VOAT is: articles on the Democrat party being super shady, articles on how the U.K. citizens are getting kicked around like they are a soccer-balls as they lose rights, examples of forced migration getting statistically proven as a bad idea, and sometimes speculation on certain mainstream news narratives based on relevant evaluation, respective to each circumstance.
what are people worried or concerned of? ive never come on here advocating violating laws or suggesting violence/harm to anyone, nor have i ever seen anyone else indicate that.

You must be new. Because I've seen "gas the jews" many times. And plenty other "kill muslim/nigger narrative" as well.
modsrcuntz ago
yeah but none of it serious. there is no real "intent" or "premeditation"...no "planning" of a crime.

Necessary precautions like a VPN? You think that matters? The only way to access the site anonymously is to use public wifi with a linux boot stick and maybe anti facial recognition makeup. And if you do it that way, good luck having a regular account and posting content frequently.

I don't mind if CIA knows my identity. What are they gonna do?
It's not like I'm breaking any laws here.

And even if they know who you are, they can't do anything to you anyway.
Oh, you're a racist? You like guns and Trump? That shit is protected by the constitution, get fucked fbi.

The Bundys would like a word with you.

This is my thought on it. The only threats i issue are circumstantial to the violation of my constitutional rights and then my exercising those rights to protect those rights. Wanna come after me for that? That makes it a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, and they can get fucked

Them Rights have been violated for some time now. I think that's why the Goats are skitish.
