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.

@PuttItOut @Atko Do you guys know of a flaw in Cloudflare's system right now called Cloud Bleed? https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1139

Hopefully Voat isn't affected by Cloudflare's fuck up because I take security seriously.

I'd really prefer voat leave cloudflare completely. I like to do most of my internet activity over tor just to have one more layer between me and all the assorted spies/trackers/profilers out there, and so I get pummeled with CAPTCHAs from most sites that use cloudflare, including voat. Besides that annoyance, there are security/privacy concerns like cloudflare being able to read traffic (they are basically MITM as a service) and tracking with cookies (the CAPTCHA page requires cookies).

agree. unfortunately, that will not happen. putt is either ignorant or malevolent, not to mention he uses windows.
