Maybe I’m overestimating the feeling that we lost users, anyone else notice?

There are some saying voat has been compromised and it’s somehow unsafe to post here. Honeypot, I’m not familiar with the term other than it sounds like some sort of flytrap thru context.

I don’t understand that. What site isn’t compromised? It was my understanding that ‘they’ had the ability to see anything I did on the internet. The only defense is tor?

I’m sure part of it that we lost some users to other aggregators. That’s probably good, trim the fat.

The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself

Admin said theyre were like 15 new users.

We lost a few of the weak to phuks. That’s okay.

Interesting. It was really slow for me there. The load times.

They’ll wonder over eventually.

It is running on a potato instance to keep the costs low. That is why it was slow. When there's little traffic, it's quite snappy.

It's Sunday. It's always quiet on Sunday. It'll pick back up again.

It's also the first nice, warm day in some regions in months. I would bet a ton of goats are actually outside for once.

And anyone who sticks around if a fucking moron

Slightly ironic.

What makes you think that the government would have any more interest in the voat than it does to reddit/8ch?

What makes 8ch more secure than us? We lack an admin for the moment, but that was the same before the outage
