Atko started the site just as a free speech alternative to Reddit, it was doing alright. Then it started picking up a lot of members from the different exoduses from Reddit, FPH, Coontown, Ellen Pao, etc, etc.

It became more and more of a conservative site. Pushing the boundaries through what was considered acceptable, became more of a /pol forum. He got tired of developing the site to deal with people he didn't like. So he passed it on to Putt.

Putt being more active before Atko left, slowly started being inactive and unreachable. Gave developing rights to members that didn't have the site base's interest in mind and became faux-opensource.

Voat chat got taken down without it ever being replaced, disallowing users to communicate in real time, without much explanation.

They did a massive rollover to a different site base and shit started getting real weird. People were losing hundreds of CCP and SCP in minutes. Certain people spoke out about it and their accounts didn't get deleted, but they lost access to them with being able to login.

SRS started making a strong presence with gaslighting on the boards, downvoting everything that would hurt their cause to prevent it from being pulled up on /v/all where most users browse.

Subverse transfers never got approved, blatant spamming of websites without users getting banned, only downvoated. PDFs being posted recently that has a potential to be malicious whithout the user being banned.

It just turned into a leftist honeypot IMO. Too many coincidences going on over there to be trusted anymore.

Honestly, if you ever tried to ban someone then you were lit up real hard. Sub admins were never allowed to enforce rules or generally administrate their subs.
