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.

chmod ago

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.

This is weird, Putt. Really weird.

I understand why you may not have time to keep this site in the loop with every little thing you're doing. Life is more important, the user base is pretty unsavory and hard to defend, and it's certainly not making you any money.

But it's best to keep a cool head. I've had your back on 100% of shit until a week ago. We've now been a week without any explanation. I'm explaining this because it's not a few users that feel this way, it's all of us. If this community gets fragmented and distrusting - you'll see most of us drop off. Maybe you want that, but if you dont I would suggest at least a very small announcement of "hey guys, problem was x, I'm working on it".

Like I said, this isn't a threat or ultimatum. But a lot of us are here because we have no where else where we really fit in. It would mean a lot to us misfits to throw us a little bone.

Honestly, a lot of us feel like mushrooms lately.

Thanks for posting this Middle. These responses from Putt have my stomach in knots. I hope he's just having a bad day, but this seems extremely out of character and downright petty.

We're upset because we care...

If you ever do leave, I would follow goats like you and @go1dfish anywhere. I don't have a lot of trust for many goats, but you're near the top of the list.

Hopefully cooler heads prevail before that...

go1dfish ago

Thanks for the kind words. I'm still here by I agree with everything @middle_path said.

If shit goes dark, these are all me:

https://gab.ai/go1dfish

https://twitter.com/go1dfish

https://steemit.com/@go1dfish

But I spend most of my time here because I prefer this type of format.

The incentive structure of steemit seems off to me, but it's probably closest to my ideal other than voat at the moment.

middle_path ago

Steemit might be the way to go if this place goes down.

middle_path ago

I'm having the same hopes, thank you.

MinorLeakage ago

Please try and keep me in mind if you ever do plan on trying a new site. I don't have any friends on Voat, but I have a lot of respect for you and a few others around here.

Not to be pessimistic, i was honestly just feeling lost the last week.

middle_path ago

No worries, man. I sure will.

heygeorge ago

it's all of us.

You're not speaking for me when you say the above. It's not all of us, although I am surprised by how many people can't go with the flow.

What does being a mushroom feel like?

middle_path ago

Maybe a bit of hyperbole on my part. I should have said "the vast majority of is".

A mushroom is fed shit and kept in the dark.

heygeorge ago

That's what I get for commenting when not fully awake. I happened to see you mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

middle_path ago

No prob, man. Hope you have a nice day.
