I'm not arguing with anything you've said; just surmising what the technical problem itself might be. Absolutely, voat is not under a DDoS anymore. It doesn't have any of the markers of old DDoS attacks. They might have learnt to handle them better, but the CloudFlare connection is fishy as fuck— they would have definitely dumped voat, by now. We say waaaaaay more "hateful" shit than The Daily Stormer, even. And for sure some reddit-faggots would have snitched on voat to CloudFlare a looong time ago.
Which leads me to the only conclusion that the same spooks that served Voat a gag order are forcing CF to keep it running, for the time being. For all we know, the constant downing of the site could be some sort of CIA mind-fuck tactic they learnt from their "emotional manipulation" experimentation of facebook users. Demoralization and D&C, etc.
Voat is surely a honeypot. I almost can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be a honeypot, by now. My take on it, however, is that it'd be naive to think you had any anonymity there (or anywhere else) to begin with. I operate under the assumption that spooks are screen-grabbing my computer 24/7 and have on-demand access to my hard-drive's encrypted contents.
The trick is to simply not have any fear, respect laws surrounding freedom of speech (inciting specific violent crimes, etc), and enjoy each other's company, while we can. I've learned a lot, on voat, and am grateful that it still exists. That being said, I'm also grateful that poal exists. ;)
I'm disagreeing with EVERYTHING he said!
Not because it's wrong or anything, I just want him to FITE ME!
IT NEVER WAS UNDER ATTACK
look man, im not arguing with you either, he want the people that knew shit (not under his control,...... yes he that big of a cunt) OUT
I have ZERO trust in anything that goes on there, especially from that cunt puttitout
his last words to me "you dead to me" who fucking says that? a retarded power hungry faggot thats who....
I know i can bark, but what the fuck man, i usually say sorry in the morning.
honeypot? who fucking knows..... putt has givin up on the site. its fucking clear at this point... SAD

He's let his emotions take the helm of the site, in the past. Very unfortunate. Can I blame him? I dunno; I'd need a few hours with some scotch, sitting next to a fireplace with a notepad, to answer that question. At the end of the day, I think his immaturity overwhelms his Utopic vision of the site. His skin has soft spots, and poking them allows poor judgement to bleed through. The situation with you and the site isn't a good omen, that's for sure. At the very least, it means he doesn't have the wisdom (yet?) to deal with certain archetypes. Because there's been a handful of users, such as yourself, which have seen Putt's ugly side first-hand; and they all seem to have quite a few overlapping qualities.
idk, idc at this point. i really dont care at this point.
as i predicted it will be q people, soap and there alt, and a few that keep hanging on.
2015 voat was great but it just kept getting worse, poal reminds of this but shockingly it was runned by niggeritout, words for thought.
i dunno im dropping it, i pretty much said anything i wanted to
