$10 says the "special surprise" is a shout out/recruitment post from something like "truth social" (or wherever they hangout nowadays) to go takeover what's left of Reddit.

Is Voat still a thing or did it die off after the initial wave of hateful bigots migrated and nobody else?

Damn, I just looked it up and they shut down in 2020. Long story short, they went anti-woke, then went broke.

Honestly, having been around for the Voat exodus, that's pretty on-brand for the crowd that migrated there. It wasn't exactly the top minds that left because subs like /r/FatPeopleHate were banned.
