I love this shithole. My tech skills are fairly meager but I would absolutely contribute monetarily and otherwise to Voat's survival or whatever can be built from it's ashes.
If you have any ideas/suggestions to BuiLd BAcK BetTEr post them. Example: I've heard of some anonymous/distributed hosting tech that could let a place like this survive, but I have no idea if they're really functional.

Need to move to a distributed network: Mastodon, ZeroNet (ZeroMe or ZeroVoat), Element/Riot/XMPP, Retroshare, Freenet, etc.
My main suggestion would be ZeroNet

Mastadon and freenet are comprimised. Don't know about zeronet or riot, but I heard good things about both.

Mastodon allows one to host one's own instance, but it's more like twitter. It's not completely decentralized and the development team is very left.
Development team for Element (formerly Riot) is left, I think. It's more of a replacement for WhatsApp and chatrooms. Still requires hosts, but the XMPP protocol it runs on is completely open.
ZeroNet appears to be entirely distributed. Not a huge userbase at the moment. ZeroMe is something like twitter. ZeroVoat is something like Voat, but seems to be dead.
