I don't know if it's true either, nor at this point do I care. 2 plus years as a top ten contributor, ran and built up several subs, spent an eternity working with Cynabuns to clear spam, you name, I did everything I could to be a good goat and lend a hand where I could. But for nearly the past year the site has been going steadily downhill due to administrative neglect. It was obvious to most the regulars. So I began moving away some time back, posting both here and on Voat. Then came the shutdown ... followed by atko saving the day ... and not a word to any by way of a simple, short and sweet sticky from Putt to give even a cursory explanation. So, as I say, I may lurk just to see what's happening, but my time there posting is over. I never thought the day would come when I had to say that ... but such is life ... all good things come to an end.

BTW, if I ventured a guess I'd say Voat's days are numbered and most over there don't even realize it. If Putt can't post a simple sticky ... I'm certain nothing has changed ... and it's just a matter of time till it goes down again, with no one left to save it.

Wasn't that good to begin with.

I met a lot of good ppl along the way. We did have some good folks. But likely also met a lot more I could've lived w/o - LOL.

We did have some good folks.

Very few.

I was there just over three years ago, and it was, meh.. OK-ish. Then I realized that "have your say" was fake news, and I started finding out most who I had thought were good people, were in fact not even remotely.

I've seen people say that before the second big migration from Reddit twas a rather nice place.
