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.

Again, the owner of the website just demodded someone because they expressed concern about a shadow partner. You can choose to phrase it in whatever misleading way you want Kev, but the way I'm describing it is also 100% correct.

The removal is a bad omen and only time will tell. I have a bad feeling SaneGoatISwear will come down as right on this.
Also. kinda weird that the guy that posts as @PuttItOut made a move on this while letting the v/aww bullshit thrive. It's almost like he made a deal with v/SBBH to make wholesome posts while the sale was finalized.

Wow. Mind blown. This comment about aww is now fact to me until irrefutably countered. My question on the aww-ening was 'why'. But you have now completely explained it. No sarcasm intended. Just wow. Putt is truly gone?

If this nest isn't 3 sockpuppets and @kevdude, I'd be surprised. Look at the wording here, trying to distance himself on PIG by using SGOS' username in full when responding to him, then this 3.6 year old account with barely 1k contribution points with his "mind blown" from a completely non-mind-blowing comment.

Yep this is my phone alt. You probably wouldn't recognize my main so, eh. My main concern is the convo with ghostskin talking about a change to the language allowed to "tow the line" in order to follow a more Reddit like game plan to attract more users" this is just slang for censorship. The mind blow is the possibility that the aww spam could have been an attempt to normalize the front page which was not a concept I had pnonered. Still, if a change goes into affect disallowing some language, my main and my phone alt may bail so this whole talk is unimportant by comparison. Still, I've been around enough to recognize power voaters and figured I'd help disambiguate the thread to which you replied. Not gonna lie, super bummed about the impending censorship. Cheers mate.
