Now that I have your attention, I have a confession to make: I lied.
Well sort of… because Voat 2.0 doesn’t exist yet, but it will in the future, and this thread is the first in a series of Quarterly Reviews we will be doing to get your feedback on what we need, what we need to improve, and the direction we need to move as a company and as a community.
I can finally announce that Voat’s features (software-wise) are now in the ballpark of a semi-functional platform. I’m not saying Voat is perfect, nor am I saying the features are mature, rather I am saying that we are nearing "acceptable" as a basic functioning platform.
But a basic functioning platform was never our end goal, it was just the first milestone we needed to hit. Now that we are approaching this milestone we need to lay out our future direction.
Voat doesn’t want to be a “clone” any longer. We want to stand up and proclaim our uniqueness. We want to put our differences on display and stake our future on them. Voat can’t survive without redefining ourselves, without evolving into something bigger, something better, something unique and new.
This is the post where we get to dream big, have no boundaries, no constraints, and live in world where everything is possible.
Hypothetical
You have an army of programmers, mountains of cash to burn, and you are the only board member: What does Voat 2.0 look like?

/u/go1dfish here again, Puttitout wants me to build a disqus like plugin for Voat using the API.
This would have Voat still hosting the discussion (And potentially drawing more users into Voat) while letting you have Voat power discussions on another site
Not sure when I'll be able to get around to it, but this is definitely something that's doable and IMO one of the best ways to grow Voat.
The source code is already open on GitHub if you want to go that route: https://github.com/voat/voat

One last thing from me, /u/go1dfish. I am a giant cuck wannabe redditor.

Thank you for demonstrating a use case for the Anon features I suggested.
