I can't fucking do that here because the site is only working 1/3 of the time and halfway operational another 1/3 of the time, and finally, flat out broke the last 1/3 of the time.
Even when it's working, you have to wait, sometimes up to ten minutes, sometime more, before you can even view your own posts.
Icing on the cake is that it just keeps getting worse and worse.
Please tell me there's another Voat out there, somewhere.

Would you guys be interested in a chatroom style site with channels instead of a bulletin board system?
TestForScience ago
You mean like a Discord type thing?

Yeah, I was thinking something like that or slack, where the channels would replace subverses/subreddits. It'd be easy to forum slide posts I guess, but might be nice for smaller communities.
TestForScience ago
At first thought, I'd also think that it would really only be feasible with smaller communities, but I guess there's Discord channels that have over 100,000 users in them, so maybe it wouldn't be so hard.

Poal. Some really obnoxious voat members went over there and have been shitting around, but if more people went there it could only get better. This is a locked down dying platform.

You can't count on voat to work anymore though, one day it's just not going to load ever again. Deal with it.

At this point can I just pay a couple of bucks a month for premium access with no to minimal down time. I wonder how Putt is keeping the lights on.
Rotteuxx ago
It just means Putt has been served and can't communicate with us about it, he made it extremely obvious for everyone here a few months ago in an announcement.
Jumping ship is as pointless as trying to safely hand feed a hyena, if you said something stupid or bad in the past and you're on a list, they have all your Voat data already.
Lack of registration and public access is a direct response to that false flag manifesto posted on 8chan which got it shut down. Putt is avoiding giving cloudflare ammo to dumb Voat by limiting the ability to create MSM bait posts & have them used against the site... this was also in an announcement.

IMO, "down for maintenance" is Putt's way of rationing traffic. Think about when it happens most: In the morning, 7-8am; Mid-afternoon, 2-4ish, evenings, 5-10pm - all prime browsing times for various demographics. I think the unnamed benefactor that took over all the bills for the place earlier this year decided to cap expenses.

I think most of us are by now aware that this is little more than a mossad/CIA honeypot that will one day expose us all and we'll all be unpersoned and homeless, tortured or dead. Might even be police raids where after they remove all of our electronic devices and just happen to "find" cp, terrorist plans or whatever other wrongthink material they can use to remove the mouthy goyim.
The reason I think most people don't care is because if it's going to happen, it's going to happen regardless. Maybe all of us being taken off to the gulag will wake up a few normies, but more than likely it won't sink in until they themselves are also being carted off to the same place. Either way, don't want to live as a slave in a country without free speech and will continue to use free speech regardless.

Years of observing the tactics used to weaponize the consensus has led us to a very specific strategy for posting that relies on constantly calling out those who attack the individual instead of the information, ignoring the weaponization of being forced to defend ones self as a distraction, and the probing intended to get a talking point to attack later and stir up disinfo.

Fairly certain he's keeping low profile until 8kum is online. I'll just point you to his marked embrace of Q migrants to imply a connx. The "he wants numbers up" argument doesn't hold water - they were coming whether he made a statement on it or not.
8kon coming online isn't just flipping a switch, they're laying "structural" groundwork that will likely affect other open plats such as voat.
I'm in the camp that suspects, until disproved, despite calls to board ownees, that 8koon is a decoy and the final plat could be different url.
Nosfewratsjews ago
Possible. Or he's moved onto a new project and this one is more or less abandoned. At what point would it become too obvious to debate?
Did this happen before or after the "Angel"?
Anything is possible.

Glory_Beckons ago
USERS MUST BE WARNED: This website hijacks your browser!
It constantly downloads and uploads data in the background. It begins doing this immediately upon visiting the site, without asking or telling the user about it. Most unnervingly, it continues to do this even after you close all tabs of the website. The only way to get it to stop is to completely shut down the browser. Check your network usage.
I'm not even sure how you managed to achieve that. I would have expected any JavaScript running in the background to terminate when the tab is closed.
Presumably this is some sort of p2p distribution scheme to serve content. But that is really just a guess, and giving you undue benefit of the doubt. The user has no way of knowing or controlling what you send and receive using their computer and internet connection. You don't even tell them that you're doing it. The fact that it doesn't stop until they shut down the browser doesn't really inspire trust.
I understand the benefits of distributed hosting, and applaud every effort to prevent censorship, but:
That trifecta makes your site shady as fuck.
Tagging the people who commented since they likely visited your site and may still have this running without their knowledge:
@blumen4alles @Wahaha @lord_nougat @ggolemg
Of course, there are many who clicked your link but never commented. They'll probably never know, unless they happen to come back and see this comment.
Wahaha ago
How did you monitor the network? Just doing network inspection via Firefox tools doesn't show shady traffic for me. (Firefox, Linux)
Glory_Beckons ago
I used bmon and arm (Linux terminal tools).
blumen4alles ago
Thanks for looking out for us! I read all of that, and go1dfish's reply (and your reply to that) - that is quite spooky to have a site still sending & receiving data after you close its tab, or even to suspect it.
I have not noticed anything like that, though I don't monitor my traffic that closely. I do however disconnect from the internet when I am not using it, and monitor my cpu load constantly. As well as now decades of experience going on sites that may be malicious (usually to pirate stuff).
If you are able to duplicate this happening please do ping me.
For now, I will keep an eye out for this, but I don't think there is anything malicious with go1dfish's sites. They seem like a good goat who is just trying to provide alternatives for our community should Voat go down. They people behind Poal are/were also Voaters. I applaud their efforts, which usually get funded out of their own pockets, and they spend long hours making things better.
It does work differently than other sites, you can tell by the way it loads content. I won't pretend to understand exactly how it works, but I don't think any of my using those sites has harmed me or my machine in any way.
Still I love a good conspiracy, and what you described if really happening - oh my. If this is really happening can we please not call it "XXXX-gate"? I hate when they do that shit, so gay.
Glory_Beckons ago
No worries man. It was really freaky. Especially the continued traffic after closing the tab, I don't know how that's possible.
I'm really kicking myself for not taking screenshots or looking further into what exactly was being sent. I'm really curious what was actually going on now. But didn't have much time then, and prioritized posting the warning. Oh well, better a false alarm than no alarm.
Wahaha ago
Since browsers adopted the "tabs-are-their-own-thing" philosophy, I could imagine closing a tab without really stopping the process. Like the old firefox error where you can't start it, since it detects an old instance running, even though you closed it. And then it maybe had a page open with the chat and since lots of goats went over there yesterday, they generated traffic, which isn't reproducible now that the site doesn't experience lots of goats fooling around with it.
That's my try at explaining it without assuming malicious intent from anyone.
Glory_Beckons ago
Yeah, I was thinking about that too. The additional traffic might also have triggered Cloudflare to be more aggressive, and maybe block Tor traffic, causing infinite retries and slow loading.
Whatever it was, I can't reproduce it now.
go1dfish ago
If you could explain a bit more about what you are seeing here I could help you diagnose it.
Notabug does not attempt to, and as you mention has no real means to communicate in the background after you close all tabs.
It uses websockets (socketcluster specifically) for data transfer, and is entirely realtime so it's normal for it to maintain a persistent data connection, but not normal for that to persist after you close it. The only site it talks to this way is notabug.io itself.
It's also not engaging in distributed hosting from your browser yet though this is planned in the future as an opt-in feature.
Glory_Beckons ago
It's not happening now. It was when I posted that comment.
The site as a whole is also much more responsive now. It was very slow opening posts to read comments before. Sometimes it would just hang on "waiting for data", showing the matrix of 9 blinking dots forever. Now, it often doesn't show that at all and just loads comments right away.
At first I figured it was just a buggy and slow site. Noting that @ggolemg also commented that it was slow reinforced this. I closed the tabs I had open, and moved on thinking nothing more of it.
Hours later, I happened to notice my network usage fluctuating at around 300 - 500 kB/s both up and down stream, even though I wasn't expecting any network traffic. I investigated, ultimately tracking it down to the browser I was using for Voat, in which I also opened your site (though those tabs were long gone). Closing the browser made network traffic drop to 0 instantly.
Having a hunch it was your site, since it was the only new thing I visited, but doubting myself since the tabs had been closed hours ago, I set about reproducing the condition. I tested it twice, in a clean VM, with nothing else running. Both times I was able to reproduce it. This is what I did and observed:
Again, I repeated this twice with nothing else running. Browser was up to date and auto-updates are off anyway. Strange traffic started immediately upon loading your site, and stopped immediately upon closing the browser. But no effect closing the tab.
The steady rate was notably lower in my tests than when I first noticed the phenomenon "in the wild". I assume this is either because the tab wasn't open as long or, more likely, because I only had one tab open. I didn't bother investigating further, since it was clear your site was causing the strange traffic and, from my perspective, the obvious fix is to simply not visit your site anymore.
Attempting to reproduce it now, I'm not seeing anything unusual at all. Only a ~100 Byte blip every 10 seconds. Probably keep-alive for the websockets.
If this isn't you, and you haven't changed anything in the last 9 hours, I would be concerned about a potential breach or injection of malicious code.
If I happen to encounter it again, I'll have a closer look and maybe take some screenshots or a video to show you.
go1dfish ago
Thanks for the response.
A much older version of the site used service workers (as is default with create-react-app) I wonder if perhaps that was related. If you were testing in a clean vm there is no way you would have gotten that old code though; and even then there was nothing there that should be causing traffic after closing tabs.
While a tab is open, it's normal for notabug to continue using traffic, there are periodic keep-alive pings and also any changes on the site are live broadcast so you see the changes (most commonly chat) If you open a browser inspector you can see this in the /socketcluster request
The only thing it should be connecting to is notabug.io (through cloudflare) Under no circumstances to visitors connect directly to each other or anything like that right now.
Currently notabug.io and nab.cx are running slightly different frontend versions but talking to the same backend.
Glory_Beckons ago
I've played around with it some more and cannot reproduce it. I'm kicking myself for not taking screenshots or digging more earlier.
Have you really no changed anything since I posted my original comment? It was behaving very differently... the whole site was sluggish, and now is perfectly responsive.
I didn't check what it was connecting to, just the amount of traffic. The p2p hypothesis was based on your GitHub saying:
I think I only ran the tests with notabug, but I had opened nab as well before that.
One possible explanation might be a combination of my using Tor, your server using Cloudflare, and your client attempting to fetch live updates. Cloudflare sometimes decides to intercept Tor traffic and either block outright or replace the response with a captcha challenge.
What would happen your update attempts were blocked, or received a CloudFlare "Attention Required!" captcha challenge as the response, instead of the expected response data? Would they retry? Would they retry instantly? Is the retry implemented as a callback of sorts, that might persist after closing the tab as long as it keeps looping? That might explain the constant inbound traffic.
Looking at your normal traffic though, it looks like any inbound update is accompanied by a smaller, but simultaneous and more or less proportional outbound spike. Like this or this. Maybe that would explain the similar constant outbound traffic?
Not sure why I can't reproduce it now though. Maybe down to CloudFlare being extra aggressive yesterday?
This is a lot of speculation though.
Wahaha ago
I tried the site yesterday, but it didn't feel sluggish to me. (Ryzen 7 1800x)
Thanks for the heads up, btw.
go1dfish ago
Haven't touched anything since sunday, and even that wasn't live.
It would retry the websocket connection this is handled by socketcluster.io
That still wouldn't explain behavior after closing the tab, it might cause weirdness if the tab was left open and cloudflare blocked you though.
What happens is your browser is subscribed to one or more lists of ids for whatever you're looking at. When a new item comes in you get the id. Your client has to request the data for that new content though and this causes some outbound traffic. I think there may be some cases where it does this unnecessarily for data you already have though.
This is why I suggested looking at the browser inspector. All of the traffic (other than fetching the js/images) happens over the /socketcluster connection and you can watch all the incoming and outgoing messages and they are largely readable and understandable.

It is a great site, especially for seeing what reddit censors, doesn't load the comments on my Firefox based browsers though, so I have to use Brave or Opera usually. I try to mention it in comments here when appropriate so more goats know about it. Thanks for creating/maintaining it!
go1dfish ago
You're thinking of https://snew.notabug.io which is different. Your issues are likely due to content blockers disliking snew.notabug.io making offsite access to oauth.reddit.com and api.pushshift.io if you whitelist that stuff you should be fine.
https://notabug.io is newer, and totally separate from reddit, though it does reuse the UI style/code. The backend is all new and maintained by me and designed for eventual decentralization.
blumen4alles ago
Huh, I will try whitelisting those. Thanks for the tip! I keep my main browsers locked down, only use the others when I have to.
I really dig the nab.cx appearance. What is firehose, does that just display any recent site input?

Yeah the firehose is all submissions comments and chat as it happens

Alternate frontends and configs, same backend.
Eventually, the plan is to allow anyone to point their domain to my service and customize the config for it. That way you can build your community at a url you own and if I become a tyrant you can take your ball to some other home.
Wahaha ago
I like the idea. Thanks for sharing, will check this out.
I also read you want to make this easy for others to set up. Are you familiar with containers and stuff, like Docker? That could make setup pretty easy, while allowing you to keep the necessary complexities.
go1dfish ago
Yeah I'm familiar with docker, and would like to offer docker setup eventually but dont want it to be a requirement.
I want you to be able to clone the repo, yarn build, yarn start (answer some config questions at some point) and have a running peer.
This doesn't preclude more advanced multi-machine setups; but that's what I want to be the default. This is another reason I moved away from redis; I can embed lmbd in node as just a npm install.
It's not there yet, but getting quite a bit closer.

Thank you for it, I just wish it wasn't so slow. What would help the situation? Can we look at running the gun.db on redis maybe? Let me know how I can help.
go1dfish ago
It's slow for you now? Is it overusage of CPU, network latency etc...?
I did run things on redis for a a while but moved to lmdb.
Part of the slowness is inherent to the model, the idea is to let the client have end say over filtering and end view so it gets sent more data than it would get otherwise. Things are designed so the server can be relatively dumb and scalable.
The next stage of it is for me to return the site to doing http requests for gets rather than using websockets and this will potentially allow for more cdn cacheing etc...
Once I finish that up (probably next weekend) I'll do another writeup over the state of nab's design and try to get more devs involved.
This design will be amenable to moving the db back to redis, but that gets potentially quite expensive as data grows.
A goal of my design is for it to be cheap to operate and ideally easy to setup. Still working on the easy setup bit but getting closer. The newer design should allow for easy setups using lmdb, or more advanced setups using redis on the same codebase.
Code is at:
https://github.com/notabugio/ and https://github.com/chain-gun

There is another site kind of like Voat. It is ostensibly a news aggregator, but it also as a lot of original content like memes and pictures and stuff.

Not that I found. I read on Poal yesterday (when Voat was down, again) that now they have it so you can also see who dv's your comments (you have to be a certain level member). I bet that really pisses off fuckwit gabara and the SBBH fags. I think it is a great idea, and given how quickly I was attacked (by gabara) at the suggestion we do something similar here tells me all I need to know about them.
I am not jumping ship yet though. It gets frustrating but my loyalty won't allow me to quit.

Team Israel (JIDF in Tel Aviv and their puppet FBI in Langley, respectively) has successfully isolated and run off most people who are both aware and vocal.
The rest of the sleeping community either doesn't notice, doesn't care to defend them, or both.
Nosfewratsjews ago
It's almost like nobody has ever made this recommendation before! ("What can be done?" #2: https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/3243355/). SBBH attacked that idea, too - what a (((coincidence)))!
SBBH has an embassy on Voat, it's just that their Voat tactics are not effective with Poal's technical system. Doesn't mean the joint Tel Aviv and Langley task force won't adapt, eventually.
Peter Thiel probably bought Putt out so he could experiment with the community (especially the Qews) using Palantir, and Poal.co is probably the by-design fallback to let Palantir study people migrating from one to the other, likely to monitor variances in behavior based on the rules and technical features. From one walled garden to another, so to speak, since Poal has just implemented the best of the recomendations on Voat that got ignored by Putt and the rest of the management over time.
Wouldn't be surprised if Putt isn't involved in develoment of a new platform, or even Poal since Poal keeps implementing all the Voat preview features and/or Voat's best recommended features by the user-base. Voat might as well be abandoned at this point, and if I was Putt I sure as hell wouldn't advertise the new location because the SBBH Jew/FBI subversives and the brainless useless eater Qew plebs would follow like a horde of locusts and destroy the new location just like they consumed and destroyed Voat.
At what point does all this become as obvious to the rest of you as it already is to us? How many more times does reality need to beat you over the head before you see what's going on?
Chimaira92 ago
Thats because the people who went and made Poal were loyal users to Putt/Atko who helped implement key features and the main issue was that the Canary was never updated in a timely fashion, making it essentially useless. Thats if I recall correctly.

What killed voat was idiots calling for violence and got the site served by the feds.
Wahaha ago
What?
MOGA ago
A while back 5 or so bad actors started making posts and comments directly calling for and threatening violence on various specific individuals. It was obvious they were intentionally posting shit that regular users would never post, and they did it all of a sudden and coordinated.
It was a matter of debate whether they were working for a news outlet or an agency. It seemed to me just so they could tell their bosses "Look, 20 different people upvoated this call for murder" or "5 different people commented approvingly" so either Vice could write a story "exposing the illegality and viciousness of the supremacists" or Agent Smith could get a warrant for user information/ IP logs from Voat.
Regardless of who initiated it, Smith got his warrants first, and Putt had to make a post telling Voat to "cool it with the threats" and explaining how he had to 'cooperate with law enforcement' without going into the specifics that a gag order would silence. Vice posted an article almost immediately after Putt made the post, decrying how Voat's admin had to berate it's users for being violent white supremacists. The warrant canary hasn't been updated since.
Chimaira92 ago
I think thats a bit too black and white.
Comments like "Americans have the right to regulate themselves as an armed militia unit, this is the proper reasoning behind the 2nd Amendment" could be considered a call to violence.
Can you link to any archives of any of the posts?
MOGA ago
I didn't archive anything, just telling Wahaha what I observed. There were a lot of direct targeting comments made. There was a post about a NYT writer that someone had commented with his twitter handle and address and said something like "We need to shoot this guy in the head, who here is close to this neighborhood, pm me" and others along the same lines.
Anyone who has been here more than a week knows there is a huge difference between saying "When shtf the bankers need to be strung up first" and saying "this specific branch manager is Jewish, here is a picture of his car, someone needs to / I'm going to / plant a bomb." Most know of the line between a political view (Blacks are destroying my city) and a direct threat/ call to violence (This specific black person robbed a liquor store in my city and we need to execute him).
I only saw directly 3 different accounts, and the ages were 6 mo, 8 mo, and 1.3 years and they all had several hundred to a thousand scp/ccp, so it seemed on the surface to be regular users.

Nosfewratsjews ago
So back when Putt was still trying to figure out how to monetize Voat.. before the "Angel" investor.
blumen4alles ago
I don't think he was looking for money for the Q-cumbers. He was looking for numbers. It seemed to almost double our user-base very quickly. I don't mind them for the most part. I try to be nice and help when I can, they seem to be good people with their hearts/intentions in the right place. Granted many of their submissions aren't the best, and it annoys me how almost every QRV post is anonymous & tagged NSFW - when it isn't NSFW, and I dislike anon stuff for the most part.
Still, they are exposed to many red pills if they use this site, even if they mostly stick to their Q related subs. Most of my front page is now HDLunited or hiddenlol - they are an active group with great content that reminds me of old Voat.
I try to give them a break, after all they are just another version of myself.
Hyst ago
There's honestly something that separates the cultists from the rest of Voaters though. In my eyes they're not much better than SJWs, because after being lied to a thousand times they're still zealots. There's no reasoning with them. I try to be kind as well, and at first I had patience with them and would try to engage them in conversation-- but it was useless. I mean seriously though, I would ask them pretty straight forward questions about some of the known Q predictions that fell flat and they would straight up say that Q never made those predictions. Then it's like ok well the community certainly believed it and was regurgitating it over and over. Oh those were just shills. It's kind of mind numbing.
I mean they were seriously pushing the idea that secret military tribunals were killing off high level "traitors". If you ask them about that now they act like you're a crazy shill. It's fucking insane...
And much like SJWs, if you ask them to put their beliefs in their own words they're almost always incapable of doing so. They just regurgitate talking points.

Yep, I agree. They probably couldn't 'master the human domain' without them.

I'm saying you can't claim to be uncensored when you censor the stuff you hate. Hence Gab should be avoided if you want a free platform and not just a different flavor of censorship. If you're unable to appreciate what a free platform entails, then please leave Voat. You're kind always leads to more censorship. Maybe I could interest you for other places that enjoy censoring things they don't like. I heard Twitter is pretty good at selectively enforcing rules to ban people they don't like, too.

Free from censorship? VOAT is not 'free from censorship'. You need to pay attention to the subtleties of VOAT. Start talking about bioweapons and the whole site goes down. I can almost guarantee that the moment I start talking seriously about what needs to happen in terms of race-specific bioweapons to PRESERVE OUR OWN PEOPLE that the site will go down and it will stay down for about 30 minutes. There are somethings that they just don't want you to think about. They desperately want you to 'fight a conventional war' where they will gradually murder all of you. The last thing on the fucking planet they want is for ANY OF US to survive. White genocide is real.

No, I'm more concerned about the stuff people that say "Jews did 9/11" don't like. For example a jailbait sub or something like that. It's only free from censorship when you can post stuff the site owners hate.

valid point.
Or are you just looking for jailbait pics?

google image search. I can't find pics of legal age teen sluts without finding 10:1 weird as fuck risque photoshoots of 11 year olds in bikinis spreading their legs. It's pretty revolting.
Wahaha ago
I've got all the jailbait pics I need, which is zero. It's just the only stuff I can think of that is legal and non-political that people on Voat dislike enough to want it banned. Though, I think I prefer Loli stuff as a kind of canary for free speech, since it's just drawings. On the other hand I'd concede the jailbait thing with that position, which I don't like, either, mostly because I hate the concept of moral police. It's kind of a difficult topic, but if I'm going to err, I want to err on the side of freedom, meaning I'd rather have one thing less on the "things to ban" list.
