I'm really starting to wonder if Voat is now an Alphabet company. It seems that the changes being abrupt and major might be because of a powerful hand from a powerful company is pulling the strings. The angel investor might be an Alphabet big wig instead of the main company to keep it off the radar. Putt did say we piss of some powerful people, but he never said they were government people. Maybe it's not Alphabet but it could be some other tech giant. I think they found Putt's price. Does this seem plausible?

I've had the same thought. After a couple years of direct interactions with the guy including several the past few days, something feels "off".

I left goatland after the big outage when Putt disappeared and didn't even know the site was down for a couple of days. Atko had to swoop in and save it. Even before that Putt had given up caring and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Pmby2 created Poal - and many of us went in the new direction to build anew. So yes, I really do believe he who had been Putt is no longer posting as such. IMHO he was either bought out or ousted by angels.
