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.

To make it look like it's not a honeypot?
Tbh I don't think Putt was Putt ever since the 'angel investor' took over, perhaps ever before that. Maybe someone who knows him has more info, but that's my take on it.

I saw him recognize some users a new person wouldn't.

Yeah, he didn't post much but his communication style and contextual conversations with known users has remained constant.
