Identifying yourself at SearchVoat or any future Voat clone (SearchVoat)

submitted 2 days ago by SearchVoat

The end of Voat has been sprung upon us with only a few days' notice.

I have been inundated with requests; some goats urgently wish to preserve data, others urgently wish to delete it.

Many are asking where we go from here - another site, or a yet-to-be developed Voat clone.

It will take more than a few days to answer all these questions.

Meanwhile, if Voat goes dark on Dec 25th there will be no way to identify yourself as the author and owner of any particular Voat user data.

Therefore I have started distributing passwords to Voat users via DM. This password may be used in future to identify you, at least at SearchVoat.co (although there is no way to actually log in to that site... yet) and possibly at some Voat clone TBA.

The distribution process is slow, so you may not have received a password yet. It prioritises users based on the most recent posts. Therefore the quickest way to make sure you get one is to post a submission or a comment - such as adding a reply to this submission below.

Please keep the password secure and secret in case I can think of some way to make use of it.

Stay safe goats

Cheers, SV

Hey random dude I know nothing about, you demonstrate initiative and have already demonstrated some ability with webdev with this searchvoat nonsense.

Any thoughts on building upon searchvoat to pick up the torch? I considered my webdev days behind me but even my cranky ass wants to save these niggerfaggots.

Talk to voat owners and see if they can pass things over. Thanks for the good you do. I would hate to see this stuff lost.

poal.co is a decent alternative and it looks like they're already getting ready for a massive refugee rush.

No, no I don't want Voat to go - it's the first place I check every day. Definitely need the password in case it disappears.

An alternative for those who prefer to be the only party that has their pass:

Post a checksum of a secret phrase.

Later on, the only thing it takes to prove who you are, is to post the plaintext and anyone can verify it is you by getting the checksum of the plaintext.

SHA256 hash:

More like this should be the only solution, and I'd go with multiple hashes to be safe actually.

This password may be used ... possibly at some Voat clone

CCP is a good system worth keeping your points for.

They're not gonna pull out that tech for individual users.

If they're gonna go to that length then they'll just break into your house when you're not home.

Fair enough though, sha512:

Got my pass. Although I'm not a heavy user, I sure enjoyed the absolute freedom of speech on this platform.
