Voat was doomed the second their Azure cheapo licence ran out. Run a absolute free speech site on a super expensive system without long term funding plans?

Failure to plan is planning to fail, and here we are.

I'm not sure if anything ever came of it, but I remember years back that there was some development effort put in to switch over to free software. Possibly related to https://preview.voat.co/ which is basically a test version.
