Pizzagate summary

Is voat going to be able to handle our traffic? It's already overwhelmed, and only 1/4 of /r/pizzagate is here now, and it was a rapidly growing community.

I'm actually impressed about the 1/4. First of all, it hasn't even been a day since the ban. Also, some more casual pizzagaters might not have seen the "we're gonna get banned, come to voat" warning because they weren't checking often enough. Lastly, not everyone subscribed were investigating. Some were just there because it was interesting. So anyway I'm impressed that we got so many people here!

Why not setup some Voat Goat reward thing like shillit gold system?

It will be fine after a couple of days. It happens whenever an exodus happens from reddit.

They'll get it working smoothly eventually, but they have full time jobs, so it may be a bumpy road getting to that point.

@Millennial_Falcon @kingkongwaswrong @varialus Maybee someone should put together a crowdfunding campaign. Could be useful for more than just VOAT. also could be useful to make a crowdfunding campaign for education like an automated CallforAmerica.com campaign on this?

At one point when Voat started to run low on funds there was a financial count down encouraging donations at the same time as they were trying to finish implementing their basic non-intrusive advertising system. Right now I think the advertisements provide most of needed funding, although I haven't noticed a financial summary recently, so I'm not exactly sure what the situation is. People of course are welcome to raise funds, but if we get into dire straights, Atko will let us know. Lately their attention has been on trying to fix a very tricky stability issue, but I'm sure sometime tomorrow they'll get to work on improving the responsiveness. Who knows, the extra load may actually help them track down the stability issue.

Thanks for your insight. I think we should start crowdfunding for PizzaGate exposure regardless
