So long Voat! As of tomorrow I'm out of here. My subs available. (whatever)

submitted ago by chmod

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

Can't wait to post an update with a new canary... after your ultimatum deadline.

Your post is completely out of character for the Justin I've known for over three years. I'm gone.

Guys: this site has been purchased by someone else and Putt and Atko are under an NDA. RUN!

PuttItOut ago

I could say the same thing. I thought about being nice but you are the one laying down an ultimatum. It gets old. Like you've said, it's been 3 years. Three years of people doing the same thing you are doing now.

You'll see when I have time to make a post that everything is really ok and you are over reacting based entirely on false assumptions.

The truth is no one cares what you guys post(its all public lol), there is no gag order, no conspiracies, just a site with politically incorrect memes and an upward and difficult road just to stay online.

I will miss you, but I will not kneel to you.

Fuck, this sounds exactly like a Reddit Mod. The mask really slipped there for a moment.
They can never resist gloating and mocking, even in the middle of an op.
Wonder which arm of the Pozz Network...actual Reddit? Or a PG Pedo?

What part of what he said was wrong?

Do you really think a canary means anything to a website where everything you post is publicly available? Alphabet soup agencies don't need to serve a warrent to click on your username and read your comment history.

I'm interested, in your own words, what information do you think the government requests when they serve a warrant to a website? There's a very specific answer here.

Laurentius_the_pyro ago

Other than what is publicly viewable by anyone?

IP addresses? Not like the feds cant get those through other means, even if you use TOR.

Always assume what you post online is being recorded by a malicious third party.

The point of the canary is to say whether a request for information was made. Seeing that @Laurentius_the_pryo posted about a canary is one thing, but seeing that @Laurentis_the_pyro is posting about that from 24.168.201.54 is quite another. That's the difference between publicly available info and privately available info.

Laurentius_the_pyro ago

Here is the thing, unless you're using Tor/VPN that'll find that information anyways, he'll with the compromised TOR exit nodes they can find you even then.

All serving a warrent to voat would do would save them a few minutes, nothing you do on the internet is private.

You're still missing the point, though. Whether you're actually anonymous anyway is irrelevant, the canary serves as confirmation of that. The continued existence of it doesn't necessarily mean you're not being tracked, but the death of it certain does confirm that.
