I spent over 5 years at Voat, only to have it pulled out from under me. I watched as some in the voat community were absolutely horrible to Reddit refugees, now here we are, refugees.

I would prefer not to go through this again.

Good question. I know I thought originally that voat was a honeypot for the CIA due to no advertising or revenue channel. It didn't make sense for people to spend so many resources keeping a website up without value coming in.

I believe people will donate anonymously if possible. It's not obvious how to contribute using crypto currency for many people yet. I will write a post on how to do it safely. I believe learning how to use crypto currency is a valuable skill today.

I appreciate the effort that goes into running a site like poal. You are doing something very worthwhile.
