The news that voat has a new "partner" has me nervous. I'm making contingency plans in the event that the partner turns out to insist on some sort of "curation," or if it seems like they're here to use voat as some sort of honeypot. If that happens I would like to remove every trace of everything I've ever posted to voat, but before writing my own script I wanted to check and see if this is work that has already been done.

Was it even a public callout? Bob3333 was asking a serious and in my opinion legitimate question, and it was all predicated on the partner being malicious. Nothing Bob said is even relevant or going to happen unless something else occurs that forces his hand. He just wanted to be prepared for the worst possible outcome. Maybe it's the prepper in me, but I respect and understand his concern and him wanting to have a plan for if/when shit hits the fan.
I really really really can't wrap my head around how this is even remotely controversial on a website like Voat. We should all be concerned. I'm not saying we should all delete our accounts, but we should watch this unfold carefully.
