We're lucky POAL isn't under direct attack like VOAT experienced so often 2018-2021. DDoS, flood it with raunchy porn, every nasty thing they could do to disable VOAT. I've never seen anything like it before or since.
It actually is, but I use some custom protections. Our host also has an anti-DDoS later running.
Anyone with a little experience could take voat down. It was so poorly coded, they supposedly needed thousands of dollars per month to pay for a decent hosting that could handle the resources hungry code.
Hot Wheels wasn't so hot? I'm not at all surprised.
POAL is a close facsimile to VOAT. Who rewrote the code?
POAL is a close facsimile to VOAT.
lol not even close. All news aggregators use a similar look, but features and backends work differently.
I can run Poal on the Pi2 (that's what I used for debugging purpose).
Who rewrote the code?
Poal was originally based on Throat fork (used by phuks.co and some other websites), but it wasn't really designed for mobile browsing, so I rewrote lots of things and added plenty of new features since.
