        if redirect fingerprints them, could secretly flair all at once.
        randomly introduce typos into their posts. 😈

          Better plan

          1. Redirect with tracing
          2. Anyone who comes from that link and makes an account gets a special version of the sign up page
          3. For "verification purposes" they need to upload a dick pic - put something in there about maintaining purity and freedom of speech or something and a lot of them will probably do it
          4. Create a new community called /c/posthog where all those dick pics get immediately uploaded

            "three factor authentication" new picture for every login because we are so "serious" about "opsec".

    Lmao they're giving the userbase THREE DAYS NOTICE.

    This basically cripples any chance of users organising lifeboats, hooking up with friends and coalescing around any alternative. They will literally be scattered to the winds.

    Some of them won't even log on in those 3 days. They will try to in a week or two or even a month in some cases and just be confused by a completely closed down site.

    Amazing.

          It asked for a password to log in on registering, but why? Who would even need to "log back in"?

              Academics are divided on whether someone can be "over 100% online". Some theories involve using multiple devices or even using multiple intranets, but tests done in a laboratory settings have proven inconclusive, always adding up to 100% after equipment jitter and measurement precision are taken into account.

      I thought it was a great thing when it became an anti-reddit alternative to reddit (because of censorship or something idk, i was totally apolitical). Then I went on it and was instantly hit with turbo racism and never visited again lmao

        I mean, I knew voat was explicitly all about being terrible people but I also hadn't been there since 2015 ish and I feel like all of those things are way more explicitly said now than they were back then.

          I was curious about fatpeoplehate around that time too because it seems like such a weird concept to me (I'm thin). I decided to check it out again a month or two ago and it just seemed really sad and pathetic, like the same few people turboposting and using what was like their own language for things. I guess that's what hate does to you.

        What a looser, if you're going to run a right wing website you also grift your user base. It's what literally everyone does.

          The only respectable thing for him to have done is to grift them for money and then still shut the website down

            oh even better, he should say he's being forced to "shut down because of the liberal commies" and needs their financial support to keep running. Kinda like wikipedia.

            And then shut down, but say he's starting a new website to fight against the red neoliberal tides that'll need their financial support.

    The chuds all screaming about how they want to throw money at it is borderline hilarious.

    I can only buy so many bullets and bunker supplies. Show me a way to support this website without doxxing myself and the money will flow.

    It was the hardest (website to corrupt with CCP rules), it was the biggest (bundle of laughs ever… 4chan raids us and we didn’t even notice), it was bulging (with red pills and truth that you can’t find anywhere else), it was throbbing (with people eager to teach others the deception of the world). It’s so great in so many ways that it has a list of haters who will be extremely aroused by this post.

    jfc just fuck already.

    This site housed the worst people this earth has to offer. I seriously think this site passed /pol/ long ago with the depths of hatred that is spewed. Thedonald is a far more positive community than this was.

    I am legitimately happy that this vile place is going to be taken down.

    There's no way it is money. A site at that scale takes almost no server power.

    I'm guessing someone, whether it was a fed or a schizoposter, made him an offer he can't refuse, and he's coming up with an excuse that won't sic his community on him. You can see how vindictive they are in that thread based on their comments about his angel investor.

      Yep that sounds about right. That comment about "I kept it up out of my own pocket until after the election" is so clearly just meant to get the lunatics on side so they don't dox and kill him.
