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.

I have good tech skills, but no time. Site maintenance is a time and money vortex, and if everyone is working for free, cooperation between individuals is less likely.
The other problem is this particular software platform takes up a lot of hard drive space compared to a chan platform due to the post backlog, so will be more expensive to maintain. Reddit can do it because they are owned by (((big media))), but I doubt that Reddit itself makes any sort of a real profit.
