Well, I guess we will see how long it goes with out being edited.. The longer it isn't edited, the more likely putt is under a gag order and having to do secret stuff he isn't legally allowed to talk about......such as removing certain posts, or revealing IP addresses and maybe other information etc..
Decentralization would be extra hard, for a few reasons:
If anti-spam is ever implemented, it'd be damn near impossible to decentralize the servers without exposing the algorithms that do this
Advertising on this website reliably would be hard, and would require a full dev team to create it (which they they neither have the money nor time to do)
Banning spammers is either really hard or impossible.
There's a lot more, but decentralization of these servers would really do more harm than good. It would also sacrifice a lot of security principals for the sake of anonymity. And, if anonymity is the purpose, there are MUCH better ways to do this without sacrificing the CPU of all users involved in the project.
A lot of people talk about blockchain as a solution to a lot of things, but, in reality, it's really not a feasible solution to any enterprise-level application. It's not shocking that something like that doesn't exist, the blockchain is really nothing more than a buzzword techies in SF use to get funding for their app.
The sad thing is, true anonymity (with this specific website) would be impossible without distributing a Tor wrapper to access the website or an application that doesn't send your IP with any request. Even then, the government would still have the power to come in and say "hey, asshole, start tracking IP addresses," and we really have no clue how much the government can get into the TOR network. The only real solution is to protect your ass and use a trusted VPN, or use a os like Tails.

This encourages a robust algorithm that can't be gamed. Instead of straight up or down voting, it should be based on reputation, and in control of the user. So you could rely more on those you trust more, and you should be able to revoke reputation. Problem solved, no centralized authority.

If it's decentralized, then there's no need for advertising. All participants would also be hosts.

You'll need to spell it out, then. Because centralization has always been the weak point.
It would also sacrifice a lot of security principals for the sake of anonymity.
Huh? If it's Tor-based, it should give you MORE security.
And, if anonymity is the purpose, there are MUCH better ways to do this without sacrificing the CPU of all users involved in the project.
Like what? And just how much CPU are we talking about here?

Blockchain is just one possible solution.

That's true of anything.

What makes you "trust" a VPN?
or use a os like Tails.
Which is just a bootable Tor OS, which means you inherit all the risks of Tor (minus keeping any local records).
The "delete account" feature has suddenly stopped working. Probably at the behest of the feds so that everything is retained in the full database dump they're about to be sent. Assuming the worst isn't being paranoid at this point.
the only thing "delete account" accomplishes is locking yourself out of your own account.
I deleted my original account @MightyYetGentle years ago, and as a joke @Atko once logged me back into long after it was deleted and i was still receiving pings and DMs well passed when i "deleted it".
it's almost like all the people calling Voat a honeypot were accurate after whoaverse changed 🤔
*yawn*
there's already plenty of options; i keep tabs on them often. wish there were more people on there; until then, it's random casual shitposts for me.
Yep. @PuttItOut has a gun to his back. The thing about the right wing is we move like a wolf pack. No man left behind, Putt. We got this. Every play it cool. The Feds are here.
Hello fellow glowniggers, I love killing defenseless women and children, subverting and manipulating citizens, and ignoring legality and civil rights! Let's mass murder some citizens in a shooting from a hotel room and then use the act as an exuse to further remove their rights!
Oy vey, we need to remove more rights so that the great Jewish people suffer no more harm.
Did you know there were thousands of death threats made against Jews just last year? Hundreds of thousands of threats is nothing to sneeze at. 6 million threats against Jewish lives mean we have to do something!

We need a decentralized version of voat..

The feds have him by the balls, hes spilling everything, including giving them free acess to all accounts, emails etc, the fucker sold us out.

You’re aware that creating a website like this takes many hours of work, and decentralization would take no less than 2 years of development work?
chrimony ago
I'd be shocked if something didn't already exist. The problem generally hasn't been a lack of options. It's been getting critical mass.

Yeah man, this shit is objectively hard to make.

I tried to nuke this very account months ago. Now I fucking know why I was still able to log back into it.
