That's exactly my point, I remember back when there was an influx of redditors for the ellen pao controversy and how the bastards at reddit started outsourcing DDOS attacks against voat just to ensure there would be no migration. However, DESPITE that happening, there STILL was no sustained discussion created to ensure that voat would have a rock solid infrastructure for the future (infrastructure != DDOS protection).

Now, just to be clear, I'm not saying they have to buy $10k worth of AWS server instances, because that's expensive af, and the devs may not have that kind of sustained cash, but there are methods to improve your infrastructure that don't require anything but code. However, if there is no discussion created by the devs on what their infrastructure code looks like, and what they plan on doing, then there can be no improvement offered by the community. And, based on the performance from the ellen pao incident till now, it looks like (perhaps im wrong, but this is just my impression) the devs are really slow at learning how important infrastructure is.

I cant argue with that and you seem to have a way better knowledge than me about stuff like this. Perhaps open a thread up here offering to help them and see if they are willing to listen to you and maybe some other voaters with some decent knowledge. It might be just they don't now and are unwilling to ask for help.
