You guys know the Voat drill when Reddit bans something:
Single file lines!
Voat is too broke to get real servers so we must take turns. We must act civilized and share in an orderly fashion or else it just ends up looking like a Black Friday nightmare around here and no one wants that.
So pick your time slot and stick to it, no cheating. Everyone has a 30 second window to Voat. Go.
Sorry about the downtime and slow responses, it's the best we have in Free Speechland at the moment.
Edit:
I hate receiving donations for a few reasons but here is Voat's BTC address if you feel called to donate: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k. Please only donate if you have the means.

never thought id make a voat account but here we are. does anyone else realize how big the implications of this are? Reddit is willing to lose alot of its user base just to push an agenda. They really are out to get us.

Reddit peaked in 2014, bots and scripts have been holding the site together since then. It's why they hide most of the site data. It probably also drives them insane that the Donald Trump sub is still the one of the most active large subs on the site. Because most of us have litterally been quarantined from a good portion of the site by auto-banning scripts just for posting in the Donald.
If you're looking for some alt subs I might be able to help, just ask.

I’ve always thought that the actual population of organic users has dropped and any increase in users/activities were either bots or paid shills.
I think what happened is PAC’s and political billionaires started covering Reddit’s losses and making them look profitable. This has radicalized any left leaning organic users on the site, basically turning them into repeater bots themselves.

It's very noticeable when you look at /r/videos submissions. In the 2010 - 2012 range there would be hundreds of at least watchable videos submitted every hour with the top posts rapidly gaining thousands of up-votes. Now it's just a pathetic shadow of what it once was. IAMA is another serious indicator of the lack of organic growth and how little engagement there is now.
