My take on this, it still does not add up.

Plus I'm burned out big time. I'd invite anyone to put the amount of hours I've put into Voat over more than THREE YEARS, not ever getting paid for a single one, writing a massive ground breaking framework to give the community a new voice (BY MYSELF), only to be met with an onslaught of criticism and anger and then to treat Voat as a priority.

Since the outage I have seen many volunteer to do exactly that, HELP. Both financially and with running the site. The only response to that has been silence, and when people question the silence they are attacked.

I really don't want to come across as bashing the guy, but nothing Putt is saying adds up.

I'm only posting this here because I'm not going to create an alt over there and be banned as a troll just for having an opinion.

Exactly, every time I've called Putt out, or seen someone else doing it. SBBH is right there calling everyone a shill. If you've noticed it's always the same people doing it as well.

He also speaks pretty highly of himself, building this "massive ground breaking framework". He says he's done it alone but if you look at the Voat github page (hasn't been updated in ages FYI) you'll see there are multiple contributers. One of which is a literal tranny.

He still hasn't made a fucking announcement regarding the outage that lasted multiple days, and the reason it was fixed was Akto?! That is kinda strange as well.

As you said before, shit just doesn't add up.

And when those SBBH kikes get downvoted, its brigading and bots oy vey! And then they link to the comment threads in other discussions with other kike fucks so they can stop losing their precious shekelpoints and seize the narrative.

Remember folks, a huge amount of CCP and SCP only means one thing when it comes to those people, they all circlejerk eachother up CONSTANTLY in massively deep, basic contentless rambling threads, jam packed with upvotes. Points were no longer a measure of someones actual participation on the site, just how often they got a brojob

I'm a janitor and donated $550 in total (as Bitcoins) and never got donation badges. I sent several PM to Putt and even asked Cynabuns to ask him. He never replied.

I actually don't care about badges, but it just shows how he cares about helpers.

The reason why voat is in this situation is that he never wanted to add trustful people as admins to do time consuming tasks such as cleaning spam and alts used for brigading.

Feels like he trusts no one.

Lets say everything on voat is on the up and up ( even though we know something isn't right) it seems to me putt has a victim mentality. Poor me i work so hard nobody else would blah blah. I appreciate everything he has done for voat but isn't one of the reasons voat was so great was because we called out the bullshit pity party. Also whats up with the putt worship its the same shit as the spez worship. It isn't about 1 person it's about free speech no matter if you agree or disagree with it.

Just another reason to believe my decision to leave there was correct.. and probably way too late.

Atko leaving was suspicious to me but I figured "ok I get it, the kid wants to live his life."

Now I believe Atko knew the shitstorm was coming and ran.

And I'm out 50 bucks.

Fuck Putt. Poal is the new frontier. Thanks for showing me Putt's got nothing. Thanks for proving me right again.

And there he is, another big comment, still ZERO explanation on what happened, where he's been, strictly more whining that not 100% of the users suck his absent cock.

And there they are, the same exceptionally small group of SBBH trolls foaming at the mouth to rush to his defence

Jesus fucking christ.... all the people in there defending their holy prophet muham.. i mean putt... THOSE are the people who turned voat into a shithole. How fucking stupid and blind and devoted to chugging one losers dick can you be!? Its fucking disgusting, and THAT is why i will not miss voat

He sounds a little more like himself at least.

So much help has been offered in all the areas that he claims burn him out, and it's all gone without a reply.

Monthly updates, financial transparency, canary updates, ability to donate, running subverse transfers, and selection of trusted help to perform these. That's all anyone asked.

maybe he is going through a rough patch?

I respect Putt for putting together and implementing a truly free speech forum. It is the forerunner of Poal and without it we would not be here right now. He's had to take a fair bit of heat from both sides for running Voat and I respect him. If what he says is true I'm ok with cutting him some slack, but its hard to tell these days. It's obvious we're the skeptical ones who set up shop on the North Poal.
