We've been through some "fun times" over the years Voat, and every minute of it was a challenge but I'm excited to announce that Voat was finally sent an Angel.
I've been in ongoing discussions for months now regarding bringing in a partner. I'm happy to confirm that we have finalized and moved forward with an agreement that will give Voat the future it always deserved. I'm so happy right now. I'm happy we didn't give up when things got tough. We truly earned our Goat badges (and the scars are pretty cool too).
At this time, given the world we live in, it's best to keep some of the details of this deal guarded, at least until Voat gets acclimated to the partnership and the newness fades.
What is important to say is this:
- Voat will remain a company dedicated to Freedom of Speech (and Privacy - more later)
- I will remain CEO, will work solely on Voat in a full time capacity, and continue to make all decisions regarding policy moving forward
- This deal was realistic and fair (no one is buying a yacht and retiring)
- Voat will be given a reasonable budget to hire one or two employees (I will continue writing code myself as well)
- Voat will be given partial assistance in operating costs, requiring us to fulfill the rest.
I feel that I negotiated successfully on behalf of Voat and every Goat here. You were always in my thoughts as my primary objective was to make sure Voat was protected and our ideals maintained. Although they'd be too polite to admit it, I had to be a (t)horn in their side at times.
In summary, Voat was given the essentials to run as a real business instead of a part time project. We still have to run a tight ship, control costs, generate income (hello merch!), and grow as we weren’t handed a blank check. Most importantly this deal ensures that Voat remains dedicated to the principals it was founded upon.
Is this technically a Christmas miracle Voat? (You better say Yes)
I love you Voat. Always have. Always will.
Merry Christmas Goats!

The optimist in me wants this to be for reals and work out like you're expecting it to. The pessimist in me knows this is probably jew infiltration and they'll use your "partnership" to bend you over and fuck everything up.
For what it's worth,you deserve the first one.

We're all worried about this scenario, which is common on the Internet.

Yeah, we're all worried about it, and what is Putt doing about our valid concerns? Demoderating individuals who question it.

"Oy vey, you can't trust me? I can't trust you!"
Why should ANY OF US trust ANY STRANGER on the Internet. Whatsoever.

"Jew", seriously, fuckfaces? I'm an ex-Navy SOF VETERAN JEW, and I would fuck you up for that, were you in my face. We aren't all Rothchild's, you fucking dumbass... I know more than you ever will, son. VOAT, which I love, or not. Ever.
Now, I've said my peace. Knock it the fuck off with the "jews..."....

Chose a side kike, make sure you chose the right side!
You have the option to prove yourself!
Fighting for the Rothschild's is not a valid way to prove your worthy!
Fighting against them is!

jews are a tribe of gypseys who create fake commodities, fake laws, fake medias and fake gids(jesus).... what’s to like about a gypseys-jew?
geovoat ago
What does that mean?
SHIVASHIVASHIVA ago
like creating a “need” for fake “commodity” “insurance”.... swarm an area with subsaharan-cannibals, crimes skyrocket, and psyop “scare” news campaigns sponsored by “insurance” companies... the “pharmaceutical” industry is 99% fraudulently bogus along with the “medical research” industry.... examples of some fake commodities... and then to top it off the dirty-gypsey-jews create fake “laws” to force citizens to purchase their fake “commodities” like “insurance”, “pharmaceuticals”, etc.. etc...

Jews were not gypsies before the infiltrated nomadic tribes. Or vise versa.. Just try not to conflate nomads with Jews.
Jews are everybody's enemies!
SHIVASHIVASHIVA ago

It can't stand being identified by it's name. Fascinating.

Go try out the new showers at the work camps. They aren't very well sealed but I hear people are dying to test them.

'I've just made a deal that will keep the Jewpire out of here forever!' ~ Putt Christmas 2018
'That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving identifying comment linked info to this government agency!' ~ Putt 2019
Nah, just kidding. No surprises here, right on time and exactly as planned! RIP Voat, good while it was!
Hand_of_Node ago
Is there anyone who doesn't believe they can take that at will?
TwistedSista ago
No, is their anyone who doesn't believe all jokes are to be interpreted literally? Comment is more a metaphor for how the front page and accessible content has evolved solely to amero-centric identity politics and shit. Dates above prob should have been more like ~ Christmas 2016, ~ 2017.

Since it has happened to nearly every "free speech" website lately, that is a perfectly reasonable concern.

Yeah, I don't want to casually log on here some Thursday afternoon and find Voat has gone the way of Topix last week!
