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.

The reason that Putt doesn't accept donations and only informs us 4 days before the closure of the site is that this was always a honeypot to collect data on right-wing users.

NOT TRUE.
The reason that Putt doesn't accept donations is that he still has ~300 bitcoins he moved out to a different BTC wallet from voats official wallet and the coins are worth 400 * $23,000 , this week : $9,200,000
(The bitcoin donation addy that was on voat for ages):

So money is not the problem then? Then what is.

Mental fatigue.
Could you imagine running one of the most targeted sites on the web?
Voat is the last bastion of free speech and has been the target for years.
