I mean but what are they doing? Why would that help them? Do they just want to shut it down for good? It's core features aren't even operable at this point.

Get rid of the fucking spammers like @GhostSkin while you're at it. There is no reason to allow people like that to post garbage all day long. Do something for fuck sake, don't let voat go to shit.

Putt sold Voat out. He took money and fucked off. Do not think anyone’s going to be fixing Voat.

[–] BraunF14 [S] ago 

Can't think that way. I don't and won't believe that.

Meh... I'll copy paste something here & let faggots be the judge.

Alright, where to start...

Kape technologies, previously known as CrossRider founded by Koby Menachemi, ex spy from unit 8200.

"Unit 8200 (Hebrew: יחידה 8200‎, Yehida Shmoneh-Matayim) is an Israeli Intelligence Corps unit responsible for collecting signal intelligence (SIGINT) and code decryption. It also appears in military publications as the Central Collection Unit of the Intelligence Corps and is sometimes referred to as Israeli SIGINT National Unit (ISNU)."

A lot more info here, both the article & comments are relevant. Notice the owner of PIA being the on the top.

Now PIA pre acquisition :

Known to sponsor servers for projects such as Snoonet (Reddit IRC), FreeNode, and much more.

They also aquired projects they only started as sponsors for, ie :

Hmmm...

What other projects and people are under PIA ?

Well, there's Karpeles lab

The Mt Gox (member them ?) CEO was hired as CTO despite his criminal conviction in Japan.


Ok, so now on to Voat.

In the past XX months we went from Putt keeping us informed of his work & being very active in the community. X months ago a first wave of ddos, Putt still being himself. X months ago a 2nd wave of ddos, the "Now Hiring" followed by the "Where We Find Ourselves" post and nothing more.

- Redacted -

Now for the interesting bit. Out of the blue a goat discovered an inactive page, https://voat.co/about. The regular page is https://voat.co/content/about. The 2 important things are on the bottom of that page, what's the contact email & who owns the Voat mascot?

Hello@edon.garden & Edon ---> http://Edon.Garden

That name has been in the code for some time now, at least X months. The "new" contact email's domain was registered in March & updated mid June.

Guess who's chaperoning that project ?

Imperial Family, the new London Trust Media, post merger with Kape Technologies.

https://imperialfamily.com/

So... shady as fuck (((Kape))) buys PIA (LTM), they rebrand as Imperial Family and suddenly Edon appears as one of their projects. The inactive page links to the same site, it's in the code & Putt is MIA.

Who's running the ship ?

Is Putt under an NDA? Is he still part owner?

Is Edon a cover to finance Voat ?

Did he get financed to code for a different project based on his work here?

Is Voat now officially a honeypot to put people on a list ? To doxx or worse ?

Is Edon a new player on the social media market ? Look at Aether, privacy oriented & all... could be a future competitor.

voat has always had issues.

just learn to live with it.

[–] BraunF14 [S] ago 

Yes it has. I've been here for over 4 years. I've gone through some thick shit with the site. But now it doesn't even operate correctly and the website is essentially stagnant. This is new
