This always happens. Some well-meaning, tech savvy doofus thinkgs he's gonna step up and be a hero with no legitimate idea of the shitstorm he's in for. I'm 100% sure that if you tried to warn them ahead of time they'd scoff, because in their minds all those other people deserved it, but not him. He was gonna do it right!

But these can be counted on one hand.
voat and 8chan pushed through, but that was with a lot of grit, and both are no longer what they started out as since 8chan was sold and voat was relaunched by a new team with backups of the original site's files, similar to Encyclopedia Dramatica after the original site was changed into Oh Internet!.
Weren't prepared for August 2019 though.
