voatfaga non grata What happened to voat?

Was there a story to why the site went under? did the guy just run out of money or was there something else to it?

Just let it go man. It's for the best.

You're telling that to an account that is very likely a troll/farming account.

To know what goat was, you first have to understand who puttitout was. (If you’ve seen half baked and remember when he delves into the life of the Rottweiler, you’re on the right track)

Then, you have to loook at it through the lens of everything that led up to it, and who was responsible for those actions.

Books could be written on the subject. But won’t be.

I was a voat goat way before I came here. I was a glorious place. Its gone, folks need to accept it.

I was there from beginning to end, it was good. The final days before closing everyone dropped their facade and thanked each other for the years of good discussion. I screenshotted the hell out of it. Made me proud to be part of it.

Is the voat archive still up? i forgot the link and when i search for it this comes up instead:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.05933.pdf

I never paid attention to the autistic politics. So i missed out on the stupid shit with she. that username sounds familiar but if the archive is gone then i won't be able to look into it.

I guess voat had 2 things. Name recognition/user base and code base. You be the judge of the value of the user base. Seems like some stuck around. The code was dogshit by all accounts (I can read code, but I never chose to read the voat base). I don't really see the point of using it after OG voat shut down, though supposedly it has been improved. poal is better -- I wish everyone were here, but at the same time having a single point of failure is bad . I'm glad poal survived the takedown attempt.

The alternative one is all burn the Jews string up the niggers. And that's fine to a point but literally that's all they talk about. Needs a little more diversity in conversation.

Jews.

voat talked about niggers so much it found out it liked muhdikk. It then died of the toll.

My theory is that originally Putt (and the other guy) wanted to make a bunch of money off it -- like reddit money. But that didn't materialize. So he ran it as a charity for a while. He wasn't interested in making potato money off the small user base. Eventually he didn't feel like doing so any more and stopped.

There's a lot of conspiracy theories such as him making off with a bunch of BTC, getting intimidated into shutting down.

I think putitout thought he could get some money from the "angel investor" but goats were already wise to how jew investors work, so the investor couldn't ply his trade and pulled out.

It was taken over by a shadow group of some sort or another. And they simply just, turned it off at one point.

Obviously connected to getting fucked in the ass by Q, the rigged election and the end of the free world.

Putt was a jew bastid, that's what happened
