Yeah, I do. I joined 3.7 years ago after seeing Reddit censor content. I donated money. I actively promoted Voat.

Atlif seemed to be doing a great job even as mass exoduses crashed the servers. Felt like I was part of something great.

Then Atlif quit and Justin became an absentee landlord. The site crashed for days. Never responded to issues, just kept doing Justin things.

I accused him of selling the site. I was wrong, but that didn't excuse the horrible management nor his outright rude treatment of me.

I'd like to go back, but I'm still Leary of Putt.

Didn't Atko have to come back temporarily to stabilize the site (when it was down for days) because Putt was having some personal issues? Putt definitely was absentee too much before that happened. I remember when Atko and Putt would interact more and after Atko left it was kind of like Putt lost interest.

Yes, and that incident is what made me eventually leave the site. If I recall correctly, Putt was on vacation and Atko had to come in to fix the server. What irritated me was Putt's complete lack of any explaination whatsoever. He took the time to post a haiku but wouldn't take the time to explain what happened.
