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?

I've long hoped to see a mod feature that allows us to relocate off-topic posts rather than delete them. The details can be discussed but the end goal is to prevent using the off-topic idea as a basis for removing a post. To make Voat more unique I'd like to see a few anon /v/ geared toward fast moving conversation that have inline image previews - so much content can be shared in that format. The discussion corner could be a real asset alongside the link sharing vote up/down format. Voat then becomes a place to share and link information and also a place to have fast-moving discussions drawing from that but not specific to any link. If you number the anon posts you might stumble onto something magical.

637 Yes. v/pizzagate submissions get deleted and buried in the moderation logs. Then they have to be manually reposted to v/pizzagatewhatever
