The original post had 6 upvotes, then 5, to what is now 4. Ruqqus was throwing a sitewide 503 error, most likely so Captainmegajew could manually change the votes to suppress the post.

Purple Spez level bullshit.

Voat shutting down was the moment Adam threw the mask off thinking he could pull off what Spez can, when his site is barely in the top 2000 in Alexa rankings.

Funny as fuck.

The thing is Spez was more insidious and layed out changes over several years. Adam went all out on changes at once and got caught like an idiot.

Imagine if he would have saved all this for the Vue update. Maybe then he might have gotten away with it, but he got cocky once Voat announced its shutdown and wanted Ruqqus to be more feature-packed than Voat ever was.

That was his fuckup.

More importantly if he would've been able to keep is cockholster shut he probably would've managed to make the change while keeping his site alive in the long run. He went full-retard, beyond even what spez does when it comes to public statements, and that showed everyone that Ruqqus is just Imzy 2.0

He boiled the frog quickly. He panicked because he knew we'd flood his site with wrongthink. I made sure to point that fact out to them, if they're really going to be free speech that's to be expected. So they went into control mode and suppressed free speech. I just told Kek today, if they want us gone, no problem. But keep an eye on those traffic stats.

This.

Ruqqus is on the decline. It's going to shit and most likely going to die before the end of 2021 is my guess.

I think the problem for Kuk and Captainfaggot is that users are wise to these tactics. So there is no real advantage to slow walking the "changes".
