I want to save this site from the same fate as Voat.
Voat wasn't shut down for lack of funds. They had plenty of cash.
And they would have had plenty more if all of the (((payment processors))) hadn't blacklisted it.
true.
I don't know why Putt quit. Voat was a great site. I never expected "Merry Christmas, fuck you.", but there ya go.
The voat Canary was dead. It should be obvious that he did it to protect people.
The canary death only means that the site is compromised by .... (them)
I have news for you. Everything is compromised by (them)
It's nothing new. In 1995 I was banned from a chatroom on AOL. I had to unplug my fucking telephone line from my fucking external modem and wait 2 hours before I could log back on. AMERICA ONLINE.
I kinda liked it, it was very... voaty!
That ain't no lie
Seeing how the freenode thing went down with PIA it wouldn't be a surprise if Putt got swindled out of the trademark/domain with the same guy, hence the speedy shutdown and vague words about the investor when asked about it.
If someone wrote a book about all that shit, it would be a best seller.
I’d be willing to bet they were threatened by the feds. Couldn’t have a central network for people like us once Biden took office.
With a gag order or they knew they were being watched digitally so they shut it down to protect the users would be a good way to not fuck over people and not get arrested for alerting users. The canary can likely be used as a way to arrest anyone that activates it or doesn't. If the fed hit the site the day after the last canary reset then they can spy for around a month or how long the reset time is between last and next. The thing is so many sites are secretly compromised that even anything that scans for that can miss it with the tech they have at this time. So they might get the code that resets the canary so passwords are useless when you get the nation level hack spyware. Likely even linux is vulnerable or the kernel has something already added that slipped through the people that check it or they allowed it for some cash when broke. Nothing is unhackable that is online.
