Change of Guard (announcements)

submitted ago by Atko

Ever since I graduated and moved from Sweden to Switzerland and started my first full time job here in Zurich, working for Voat became increasingly difficult for me. A project of passion and learning turned into one of business administration, community management, and essentially a 2nd job. A nonpaying, yet rather stressful and demanding job.

I started Voat under the name “forbidme” (which later became Whoaverse, which later became Voat) because I wanted to learn more about .NET and web development in general, but as more and more people started to use it, it became clear to me that there was a need for a platform like Voat. I never imagined that Voat would grow this big or mature the way it has. I’ve been through so much with Voat during these past 3 years, and if I could go back in time and face the same challenges, the same victories, and the same defeats - I would do it all over again!

Today though, primarily thanks to PuttItOut, Voat is a stable and scalable platform which happily serves over a million monthly unique visitors. I was the guy who had the crazy idea to start this project but now, 3 years later, I feel that it is time for someone else to assume this role.

Effective as of this announcement, and with a heavy heart, I am resigning as CEO of Voat, Inc. and handing over my role to PuttItOut. PuttItOut has been with me side-by-side through all the ups and downs, all the long nights, all the difficult conversations, all the challenging decisions, and proven he is both committed and capable to moving Voat forward as a platform for Free Speech. I am confident and excited that Voat will do great things in the future.

I will still be at Voat, just in a different role, as a user and member of the community.

To every user I’ve gotten to know, for every funny comment I’ve come across, for every post that has opened my eyes or made me mad, it has all been worth it and I’ll never forget the fun times. Here’s to more in the future, but with a bit less stress for me. ;)

"Sane" and his ensuing rant have been neutralized by the canary edit.

Now all we have to worry about is the increased burden this change will put on PuttItOut.

  1. i called it @ puttitout is new CEO of voat

  2. i call PR goat. @ puttitout announcements key please. i want to do that job for you, and i promise to do it well, and leave my shit at the door, as i have in v/til

  3. i can't believe you're leaving @ atko seriously with all of mars' sand in my eyes, fuck you. :( :( :(

  4. it's better this way if you really won't transition from cubicle life to running-voat fulltime.

  5. thank you for voat. from someone who REALLY fucking needs a place to speak freely. thank you.

  6. putt i call that you flesh out your corporation. the hardest thing is not bringing anyone onboard who will fuck up free speech, no censorship, no shitty ads, etc.

  7. time to remove the -ccp restriction. time to have discussion on financial transparency. time for traffic reports again. time for announcements again (that's me!)... time for SO MUCH now that voat is run by an active admin!

  8. @ puttitout remember that idea i sent you a while back you called me your "second favorite voat user" for? time to implement that shit.

  9. time to flesh out the dev team as well bro. trusted non-sjws please.

EDIT: ONE LAST SHILL FOR ATKO, GOYS.. C'MON -4 AVERAGE ON EVERY SINGLE COMMENT?! THAT'S IT?! @ FUZZYWORDS COULD DO BETTER WITH JUST HER BOTS!!!! AYYY LMAO

EDIT 2: THAAAAAATS better -8 on each comment. you can almost take your training wheels off now, son! AYYY LMAO

AmaleksHairyAss ago

shitty mod etc etc 8

SaneGoatiSwear ago

i pledge to work with puttitout if putt will work with me.

the disconnect with atko and i was that i was intending to be watching him, the watcher.

and he took it as attack instead of voat-defense, free speech - defense.

and that put distance between us.

he stopped responding meaningfully to serious questions

he started shitposting me with disinfo and fallacy.

and the chasm grew :(

i want nothing other than: free speech and no censorship on voat, and voat to be healthy and free and as profitable as it need be without compromising the ethos and idea of the site.

@puttitout first order of business: rehire @atko.

***puttitout make this: https://imgoat.com/thumb/4ca4238a0b/184_md.png ***

Broc_Lia ago

Why should putitout work with you? You're making it sound like you're colleagues or something, or that atko owed it to you to be close to you.

7814171? ago

It is really goddamn annoying to get spammed with his same bullshit every single time, purely because I made the top reply to the top comment on this post.

Tipman79 ago

I think it's funny that every post that calls "sane" out, immediately getrs 4 to 6 downvoats. Can someone confirm he's using alts? Every single post that attacks him gets downvoated yet his downvoats stay the same. There's no way this is all legit.

Broc_Lia ago

I downvoted that post because I don't want to give him any more attention. Right now, the first half of this comment section is his bullshit, if that post were at the bottom then it'd mostly be thank you notes to atko.

He definitely uses alts though.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

lying

every post i make gets those downvoats, and everyone can see that.

luckily other people then upvoat me.

you're just super butthurt someone upvoats me because i hurt your fee fees

simply by existing, so here, you need this agin

Tipman79 ago

Nah, other people don't upvoat you. You do it yourself. Faggot.

greycloud ago

i am in the middle of going through his comment history and up voting every comment he made. i have the up votes to spare and i like his protection of free speech. anyhow i am now on page 4, i will be going for a while.

HarveyHarveyJones ago

I upvoat him asshole.stop speaking on behalf of a whole community. You're only one goat

SaneGoatiSwear ago

the shill hypocricy is epic in this thread, eh?

HarveyHarveyJones ago

7 downvoats. Because i said dont speak on behalf of an entire community, which he/she was doing. Welcome to voat

SaneGoatiSwear ago

we must combat this.

shine light where there is darkness.

Germ22 ago

I upvoat him, almost every single time.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

FUCK that was funny, germ.

ya got me good bro.

i really didn't see that coming in the click :)

Germ22 ago

You are my favorite goat, and do a very important job. And i think you do it very well.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

shhh don't tell anyone!

lol.

cheers!

keep testing reality, questioning authority, checking sources, calling out shills :)

7796172? ago

You can see a similar level of "automatic upvoting" on any of the posts he makes, so yes, it is almost certainly his alts doing the protective voting, just like any other cucked shill trying to protect their fragile ego.

Tipman79 ago

Ok, so does this also explain why his CCP has INCREASED in the last 24 hours despite almost every one of his comments being downvoated?

Broc_Lia ago

He posts a comment, upvotes it with alts, then deletes it so it can no longer be downvoted.

7803091? ago

That could also be the case, but that is harder to track, particularly if he has his own personal subverse maintained by an alt account (since we wouldn't even necessarily see any link to that subverse from his profile unless we happened to see the upvoted comment before it got destroyed).

7796217? ago

Most likely, yes. Downvotes are limited to the past 7 days, but upvotes can be eternally granted. Age a few alt accounts enough to get out of the new-account limiters, and you can basically counteract any karma loss from all but the most massive posts here.

Tipman79 ago

Fuck... this jackass needs to be removed...

7796252? ago

Yep, just like Amalek's spam accounts and MH101's old bot accounts. He acts all high and mighty, but the truth about him is about as obvious as the big crooked nose on Amalek's Jewish face.

IMHO nothing needs to be done about alts. Just a phenomenon to be aware of.

@puttitout check out the massive stupid on this one!

I'm sorry, you need to fill out this forum to continue:

7799102? ago

Are you sure about MightyYetGentle and HWY_395? They seem like normal users to me (or at least HWY_395 does).

silversurfers ago

"Normal" That's a fucking laugher!

7814310? ago

Normal for Voat at least.

Tor1 ago

Sane Goat is probably an alt of a normal productive user.

Clearly he could behave normally, he just chooses not to.

I like this comment you made...

See, this is the kind of post that will get you near-universal praise, Amalek. You're not attacking any Voat users, you aren't ranting, you aren't spamming this multiple times in the same subverse, you're sharing useful information with the rest of Voat.

This is some good shit right here, keep it up.

7799650? ago

It is my top comment, so a lot of people felt the same way about it.

It does say something about my ability to make comments early in a post's popularity that my 3rd best comment is from my first day on Voat over 18 months ago...

Tor1 ago

It's something a friend or family member would say.

Your comments are twice as popular as mine.

7799894? ago

Your posts are 10x as popular as mine, and you make far more of them.

SHITLORDFORLIFE

are you cabal?

do you use disinfo tactics and fallacy frequently? (not shitposting or trolling bro)

The_Penis_Wizard ago

Can't really say I do. I just like being on lists of hated people.

I'll work on it and get back to you.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

not hated bro

shills

that's all.

users who have shilled openly for censorship on voat and the silence of users on voat.

The_Penis_Wizard ago

Is that so? Why are they here then? They have reddit for that.

I haven't really been able to keep up with voat for the last while. Work keeps me too busy.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

THATS what i say lol no jk humans have free speech, and all are free to speak on voat, la??

ok.

so yeah

https://voat.co/v/ProtectVoat/1602162 enjoy.

It is much easier to see on the desktop version of this site than on the mobile version.

SeemsReasonable ago

Those numbers are satisfying for some reason.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

NO.

the "dead man's switch" or on voat the "dead goat's switch"

is to hit edit, then hit save on the post

that refreshes the "most recent edited time" on the right bar.

this acts as a functional dead man's switch.

they have officially said they will update it with announcements

so the canary is only dead when they post an announcement without also editing the canary.
