Also, we'll be able to handle the refugees when Reddit bans The_Donald just before the 2020 election!

100% guarantee T_D won't survive the 2020 election.
The quarantine was done so Reddit can say "we warned you but you didn't listen!".
It's so sad to witness T_D mods frantically banning and censoring anything remotely politically incorrect in an attempt to appease their Reddit masters. They don't realize they're already dead.

Good call. I think it is coming but might blow up in their face as many of those users will migrate to r/politics.
But they will need other handles.

I guess the theory is that voat increased server volume or made it's code more efficient to handle the huge spike in "traffic".
Which begs the question - if Q did it, did he send some money to pay for those server, too?

The chans have Gov funding. I fully expect voat does too.

'member when Q coordinated with CodeMonkey during their q&a to test infinitychan's ability to handle the traffic?
If not, it was september 19 of 2018. Nice catch, OP.

Whatever 'update' they did failed to prevent the shutdown that happened today though (8/1). Voat was offline for a while before the Ohio rally - at least for me in TX.

That’s actually quite an interesting perspective,

Were the servers upgraded? Proof plz
Simply weathering an attack does not mean necessarily that hardening against a future one took place, or increased capacity was added. It just means the attack stopped.
