Free speech online is dying and we're in the dark, of course users are concerned, I can't imagine putt has a lawsuit to shut down the site that he can't speak about publically to any degree, he could tell us something suspicions are running wild.

And don't pull the nigger card on this shit, Putt's the one who closed donations and won't make more merch efforts, even Murdoch Murdoch has merch.

The promise of voat being ad free was silly in the first place nobody had a problem with ads so long as it didn't lead to a corporate strangle hold on free speech. And I get that when you aren't advertising friendly it's mostly gonna be porn ads so only taking non porn ads by policy would have been about as restrictive as taking no ads in the first place but it'd help keep the lights on.
