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.

Petty much? You've spent more time whining here than it would take to do your admin duties and explain that the site is fine so users can stop freaking out and then update the canary.

You serve the site. The users don't serve you. This kind of bullshit entitlement attitude from admin and mods is the largest reason this site has so many users right now because they got sick of it from sites like reddit or digg or whatever other site you care to name.

Users ask for an update and you literally respond with "I'll only update after users quit the site."

Just to be clear, here's your failures as an admin:

  1. Did not assign a backup admin. If you get hit by a bus, this site is gone.

  2. Did not assign a backup developer. If you go on vacation and the site goes down, it stays down unless Atko comes back.

  3. Won't fulfill your role as admin for system related tasks such as subverse requests. You serve the site, not the users. Filling subverse requests allows the users to continue to create content and create conversation spaces.

  4. Do not issues statements as to the state of the site. You can't take 5 minutes to make a statement but you can come on here and be petty and bicker with your users and attack them.

If/when this site fails, it won't be because of the users. It will be because of the site's leadership. And since you've appointed no one to assist, that's 100% you.
