What did they do this time?

What did they do this time? (announcements)

submitted 9.7 years 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.

Anyone that's checking this place out that's new, this is a great place. There are many people here that are patiently working hard to produce OC and have in depth, intelligent discussions,and though I can't speak for the entire community, I welcome everyone here to explore and find a place you like, and if not, carve out your own.

It's really exciting to be a part of something as it grows.

Not really a refugee per se, as I never touched Reddit even after I registered, but I'm all for supporting brave new communities that can function outside the grasp of the Reddit conundrum.

I have a feeling that pre- reddit revolt Voaters will soon be a minority.

And for that I'm truly sorry.

It's not a bad thing.

As a refugee from the other side, I am very grateful that the powers that be are as willing as they are to give us all asylum.
I look forward to what grows from this, and what happens in the future.

Here's to new beginnings.
