Just wanted to give advanced notice that we will hopefully be pushing one of Voat’s largest updates yet this weekend.
This update will feature a new underlying system for organizing subverses which we are calling Sets (grouping of subverses). If you are an old time whoaverser/OG Voater you will remember that Voat used to have Sets but we had to turn them off for performance reasons.
This update will reintroduce Sets, but as opposed to being an add-on feature as previously implemented, this update involves completely replacing the underlying system of Voat with a Set based infrastructure.
I will provide more information on the specifics of these changes later; how they benefit Voat currently and how they fit into our future plans.
The release of this update depends on the progress of testing but we are really pushing hard for a release this Saturday or Sunday.
Also, I need a few dedicated users who would like to spend some time testing this new code. If you have an interest, please PM me. I will only send out info to a handful of people, so first come first serve.
Thanks Voat!
P.S. I know there are some situations that need admin attention. I will deal with these when this update is released.

that's a bad idea.
you have no evidence justin chastain, the CEO of Voat, Inc. is even a real person.
censorship is now the norm here.
militant sjws and srs are here, and control voat, and are sanctioned to downvoat brigade any user speaking outside the narrative into silence, not just on one account, but on all accounts they may create after being assaulted into -ccp.
this has produced a nasty chilling effect, making people afraid to speak on voat, in fear of reprisal, causing serious self-censorship.
there are also censorship tools all over voat, from the block button, to the behavioral restrictions that stop you from commenting, posting, and voting freely (all forms of protected free speech in the u.s., all abridged by voat, inc.)
there are now magic shadowbans. you can be globally banned from voat for a single upvote. but don't worry if you downvoat brigade the sjws/srs targets, you're safe. p.s. there's no ban warning, no ban rule, no ban appeal for these bans. they're magically shillicious!
puttitout lied to you. he said he would stay neutral and end this. but what he did was ban a bunch of upvoat brigading accounts and goatku. NONE of the downvoat brigaders, criminal harassers/abusers against voat were banned. none. not one.
17,000 downvoats, over 10,000 harrasing/defaming/attacking comments and 600 posts...., but no, harassment (a crime), defamy (a crime) are apparently not breaking the u.s. law enough for voat to take action. but if you post rachel madsen's contact info consider yourself banned in an hour.
there's some serious rule for thee, not for me, going on in voat's administration, as voat's actually run by the sjw cabal, including fuzzywords, failure, disappointed, kevdude, and more! they're all shills! they took over reddit. now they're taking over voat!
if you want to do something to help voat, you will stand against this takeover, and stop this slippery slope.
end -ccp restrictions.
end the shadowbanning.
drain the voat swamp of shills in the administration.
these are required, for voat not to die.

You are a bad idea and we don't even know if you are a person.

Hey now, accusing someone of being a bot because they disagree with you is Sane's job, stay out of his domain!
