One Voater said they came here and seemed to be a lot of "bad blood". Makes me kinda sad. Been coming here daily for over a year and really the only time Voat is brought up anymore is when there is an outage or some cumboxsockhammer attempt to mess us up.

Then check to see what ol' putt had to say about it. No activity (posts or comments) for NINETEEN days.

Meanwhile everyone is clapping each other on the back, glad "it's" back.....sometimes it reminds of the scene from Titanic where the musicians are still playing.

Glad and set this place up, having the foresight to see the need before voat ever disappears for ever.

Putt probably made himself scarce deliberately after the banning fiasco. I liked him better when he was around less.

No offense to the guys who run this place but not having the bosses around is a plus to a lot of people.

I am curious why you think it would be better if the admins were not around?

My example won't exactly apply to posting on an internet forum, but I specifically prefer to work night shifts and weekends for exactly this reason: It's easier to get things done if you're not forever looking over your shoulder in fear of your actions being misconstrued. To get more jovial and genuine interactions, you must decrease the amount of administrative oversight.

You're always going to have the people who run to the admins with everything they perceive as a problem. I don't think there should be administrative intervention unless the actual problem breaks a law or one of the written rules.

Yeah. Good chance it just went down naturally, like times in the past when neither of them were paying attention and not around.

I think it's good to hear from "management / leadership" about what happened, why, and how it's going to be prevented in the future.

I'm glad we set it up myself but I'm probably biased.

I spent a fair amount of time on voat for quite a few years. I saw things not going well so I did something about it.

Yeah, most people who come to Poal, settle in and though some still visit Voat or lurk, generally don't speak about it much here. It's just drama.

Voat outage like every other outage on the internet are test projects for the day the internet will go down altogether. Likely once they realize the declas has started.
