@PuttItOut hasn't given us an update, we've received no kind of answer as to what happened, and honestly that bothers me. He's said he'll post one when he can elsewhere someplace else.
We haven't heard from the admin since the outage, and that's not okay. I get it, we're a hard bunch to handle, we ping him constantly, but as the head of Voat, he needs to communicate with us. This place is very quickly becoming one of the last bastions of free speech here on the internet, and with Putt not talking, I feel as though that may not quite be the case anymore.
I'm also wrong here, as he's been active as recently as five days ago.
I'm not trying to fear monger or whatever, but do keep a level head about this. This absence is out of character for him. Outages are usually handled quickly by the admin, and then we get some kind of thing letting us know what happened.
I guess I let some kind of hysteria get to me. He wasn't absent, I just didn't check first.
I'm not about to migrate over to poal, but we should probably keep our minds open, just in case.
Fuck poal
And Putt, if you're seeing this, I wanted to thank you for helping put this place together, and for keeping it that way for as long as you have. I hope you're okay.
This is about the only part of this that isn't fucking embarrassing.
Godspeed, goats.
EDIT: So, all of this was wrong, Putt's been active, we just haven't seen an update. That's what I get for making this kind of post so far past my bedtime. As always, OP is a huge fucking faggot, so please disregard everything I've said here.
Edit 2: Shoutout to the faggot downvoating the whole thread. Guess somebody’s pissed, eh?

And deprive the goyim women of my superior Jewish musk? No thanks!
FelixMordou ago
Would the good goyim be so kind as to teach me how to blend in? /s

@FelixMordou, @Crensch, @Le_Squish, @xenoPsychologist, I thought you guys might be interested in Putt's recent comment. He is burnt out big time!

xenoPsychologist ago
thanks, thats good to know.
albatrosv15 ago
Putt just hates trumptards, that's why you haven't heard anything from him.
FelixMordou ago
Riiiiight.
jokersmild ago
He's been at a special hospital for... uh... "reconditioning".
MadWorld ago
Damn, another bullshit drama...
FelixMordou ago
You were exactly right. I'm just kinda fucking stupid this evening.
MadWorld ago
:-) Passed your bedtime, good night!
Crensch ago
Past*
FelixMordou ago
Yeah, you're probably right. Still, his absence is a little worrying.
Le_Squish ago
If you've lurked voat for as long as you claim, you would know that pinging putt is pointless and that he has disappeared for far longer.
FelixMordou ago
No, you're right. I got caught up in the drama, and ended up feeding into it.
Le_Squish ago
Shills will always play on fears. They will never present evidence. They rely on emotional illogical responses. Putt has a full time job. He's just a guy, not a media mogul with hundreds of employees and a shiny building in silicon valley like Reddit. We get to fuck around here and say what we want and he tends to us when his life allows.
FelixMordou ago
It's easy to forget that Putt's just a guy sometimes.
Crensch ago
Nah, someone's trying to astroturf a grassroots "user" movement against Voat.
Far more interesting than just "drama".
Le_Squish ago
They are trying to scare us into leaving. This means attempts to compromise Voat/Putt directly have failed.
heygeorge ago
This is worth memeing.
Crensch ago
True. This particular one might have been an innocent bystander, though. OP edited.
xenoPsychologist ago
that doesnt happen very often, what we got here is a unicorn.
Crensch ago
No, it really doesn't happen very often, does it?
xenoPsychologist ago
its like the double rainbow of someone looking suspicious and then turning out to not be black at all! if that makes any sense.
Crensch ago
Not even a bit, but I love it.
Le_Squish ago
Admission of faggotry. Maybe a sheep falling for shill narrative.
FelixMordou ago
You implying I'm Venturer? I mean, cool for thinking I'm a shill and all, since we all are in some way or another. If you check my post history, you'll find that I'm not much more than a filthy degenerate who's a little worried about this little slice of heaven.
Wait, shit, I just realized. Fuck Crensch, glad to see that it's you. Might want to keep in mind that you've been a user for 2.8 years too, so it's easy to fall to a correlation fallacy.
Crensch ago
Didn't see the edit. Figured I could explain a bit more.
Your account age was just one of a few different datapoints that were relevant. The previous post being 1.7 hours ago, the topic being posted every day multiple times, the relatively low contribution points, and both of you actually pinging Putt, when most users know he gets pinged so often he probably doesn't even look at them anymore.
I've been right with less, but I based on your responses, I think I was wrong on this one.
Crensch ago
Seen too many of these kinds of posts lately. This posted just 2 hours ago suggests there's intent, to me, to push a narrative.
You may not be part of it, and your contribution may be innocent of any subversive intent, but it appeared to be a followup manufacturing consent.
Wildebeest ago
Ah, the DNC response, anyone who disagrees with me is a Russian bot.
Crensch ago
Ah, the "anyone who disagrees with me is X" lie.
I've disagreed with many users here and not thought them shills, or Jews, or subversives, or trolls.
Wildebeest ago
You just said there's an intent to push a narrative, how is that different from calling someone a shill?
Crensch ago
Oh, I most definitely think @Venturer a shill, and thought @FelixMordou to be one, as well.
I now think I was wrong about @FelixMordou, though.
Try reading my words carefully; I don't misspeak very often.
FelixMordou ago
I don't think that's what's going on here. Nice try to discredit him though, A for effort. Looking around it's not hard to see why others believe a narrative is being pushed, since now that I look is sure as hell seems like one is.
MadWorld ago
Lots of downvotes, as usual...
FelixMordou ago
No I totally see how you came to that conclusion. Especially with how long I go between posts, my account definitely looks like a shill's account. If you include that I run a dead porn subverse, and am generally a filthy degenerate, it kind of clicks in.
I do appreciate what you're trying to do though. This is a place worth protecting.
Crensch ago
Not many can appreciate being caught up in my dragnet, so props to you for that.
Cheers, then.
FelixMordou ago
I also went ahead and edited my post, because I missed that Putt's been active. That's what I get for bunching my panties without checking first.
See ya around, Crensch.
MadWorld ago
You can understand why we are reacting in such way. There have been numerous similar submissions in attempt to drive users away :-/
FelixMordou ago
Yeah, I do. The tone is similar, probably due to me falling for the shit and not checking my facts before making this post. Stern reminder that one should research one's claims before making them. Usually I'm better about this, but not tonight.
Crensch ago
Everyone has an off night now and then. Shows a lot of character that you can admit when you're wrong, own your looked-down-upon idiosyncrasies, and understand the reasoning of others.
Really, really rare these days, it seems. Can't compliment you on it enough.
albatrosv15 ago
So... you are not a trumptard anymore?
FelixMordou ago
I don't think it’s necessary to complement me on it. I was wrong, shown the correct answer, and corrected the false claims as any rational person should.
Crensch ago
You have no idea how rare that really is, do you?
FelixMordou ago
Not really. I was taught, and have always believed, that being wrong isn’t bad, it’s simply an opportunity to learn. I tend to surround myself with people who have that kind of mindset, so from my perspective it doesn’t seem rare.
Crensch ago
What'cha doin' there, Rabbi?
@Le_Squish @heygeorge @Trigglypuff @xenoPsychologist @crazy_eyes
crazy_eyes ago
what the hell am I doing on that list?
Crensch ago
You responded to a different submission where the OP was likely pushing a blackpill narrative. Thought you'd be interested in this one (before I found out I was probably wrong, and the user was just sheep-posting).
crazy_eyes ago
Ah, thanks
xenoPsychologist ago
its the 2.8y conspiracy. one of those that might actually be a conspiracy.
by the by, HA! i took a look at this guys profile page. guess we now know what he likes most.
FelixMordou ago
Never hid the fact that I'm a degenerate. There's a reason I created /v/titfuck.
xenoPsychologist ago
and i find it hilarious.
edit: i think its just the core concept that amuses me. whatever butters your bacon, ya know?
FelixMordou ago
It is kind of amusing, now that I look at my history. What can I say? I know what I like.
xenoPsychologist ago
yeah. twenty five posts of dudes banging cleavage has a certain quality to it.
grab life by the knockers and just jam it in!
FelixMordou ago
Hell, I stopped posting the shit because there’s really only so many ways tits can be fucked, and honestly I got bored with it. Reality’s better than porn anyway.
xenoPsychologist ago
ya do it downways so your balls slap her on the chin every time you pull back for another thrust!
Crensch ago
Getting pegged by his sheboon shemale itfriend?
