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.

Old question but by any chance we can support you in some way? Appreciate taking money for running an 'edgy' site has its own complications.

My understanding is the funding for the site was removed?? By credit companies or something?? Someone else can offer more insight.
Pretty sure there's a bitcoin donation but I don't remember how to access it.

How about a good, old fashioned P.O. box? We could send cash or checks. Due to this tech censorship we may have to go back to using 1990’s tech to combat it. Just pay a homeless guy to open the letters though, I don’t want Putt to get a ball of anthrax to the face.

A standard post office box, or really any mailing address, and a US dollar money order sent in the mail - old tech that works, cashable by almost any bank. Certified checks drawn on major banks work almost as well.
Setting up a bank account can offer direct wire transfer as a third method, but the money order is almost impossible to interrupt.
Good old bullion (silver or gold) is also acceptable for tax free mailing in many locations - but you have to confirm the local rules first. Again, while the price fluctuates, it has the advantage of being convertible to cash nearly everywhere.
The powers that be have no idea how dangerous it is to force sites like Voat to operate in the cash economy. Once the technique is learned it becomes very apparent that banks are no longer needed for free commerce.
