What did they do this time? (announcements)

submitted ago by Atko

Voat is currently getting hit with a huge amount of traffic as a direct result of recent changes happening over at that other place.

Everyone, we’re sorry. We’re both sad to see what we once loved change in this manner, but we’re also excited about the future, but our future won't be traveling down this same path.

We won’t be getting any sleep tonight (again) and we are doing everything we can to handle the traffic.

Our budget is limited but we’ll make sure to fight to the last penny in order to keep Voat alive for this community. If you want to donate, well, now is the time. Our bitcoin address is 1C4Q1RvUb3bzk4aaLVgGccnSnaHYFdESzY.

They fired Victoria, the woman in charge of the AMAs, without any prior warning. A bunch of subreddits went dark in support of her getting laid off.

This was merely the spark. The main reason was the adminstrators not communicating, or doing anything at all.
