lol, well that may get alphabet soup's attention but i expect they are already quite aware of everyone on voat and they havent done anything about it yet. unless you wear an especially thick tinfoil hat in which case atko was disappeared and putt is, became or was replaced by a plant and with the help of the other plants is in the process of rolling out a new version of voat capable of tracking its users more effectively.

When javascript is not allowed I get this message:

We love our users! In order to protect the community, Voat is verifying your bits. We have to check your 1's and 0's to make sure they are ok. Maaaaah. (goat sound) Please turn JavaScript on and reload the page.

Not very convincing. The old code was nice enough to let you sign in without using javascript at all.

Does this make sense to anyone? What are they checking, and how does it protect the community?

That's Cloudflare's browser challenge. They might have activated the really strong anti-ddos protection.

On the other hand, I don't really think the javascript challenge helps to mitigate any attacks at all, it's trivial to have a bot bypass it just by making it process some of that javascript code.
