I created the thread "Poal - worse than Reddit" (
archive), detailing how AOU turned Poal.co from a once somewhat decent Voat alternative into a closed circlejerk that accomplishes nothing.
I also wrote:
Their garbage image mirror Pic8.co has gone up in smoke.
It is only a matter of time until Poal.co meets the same fate.
Ironically, SearchVoat.co would shut down less than one month after that without warning.
Is any of you in contact with the owner of SearchVoat? I would suggest him to release a compressed text dump of all posts. Text compresses well, so it should be doable.

Most people will realize and learn about having contributed lots and lots of high-value information only when platforms are down for good. […] It is just like you know that one building of the Library of Alexandria is going to burn down in a few years and people still bring many unique copies of high-quality books into its shelves, unaware of destroying knowledge this way.
