Like the tittle says.
It's been 30 days since we were told nothing, about some unknown suddenly owning voat https://voat.co/v/announcements/2934082
...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.
Are we waiting for the memory hole, or can we get some information? Transparency is still a priority isn't it? Or are the goats just not acclimated yet?

Well @Atko and I are still majority owners so I'm in no rush to reintroduce ourselves as the brand new owners. :)

Is it a kike?

So you and @atko still get to call all the shots? Is this a no-strings-attached investor?

Majority owner... for now. There are always strings involved.

No doubt there is a shareholders’ agreement. The question is what is in it. Generally they don’t contain the sorts of things most users of the site would care about.

Putt, what was the exchange for the funding gained? We need to know.

Voat owners chose to establish themselves, as a company - and no longer a hobby project - under the laws of the United States. Obviously freedom of speech was the primary factor. So my question, which I hope you find fair, is if the partner is not only US-based, but specifically free of corporate or political conflicts of interest.
Also, you are aware we understand CloudFare may be under separate scrutiny than Voat, and there is a coupling of Voat's hosting to CloudFare, would you be willing to make a comment about that relationship or situation?
That said, I'd be curious to ask if you were able to keep full-time employees at this point, and if they are specifically developer roles, or if there's any marketing or public relations positions you may have chosen to include. I don't intend to pry further, but I think these are questions people will want clarification on... and hell, I've been around for a while my nigga and appreciate the good times in all scenarios.

Are we getting kike mods that will censor everything?
Thisismyvoatusername ago
Do you really think it wouldn’t be noticed if we did?

I'd buy some voat dildos to give to the qtards for Christmas.

I second the Voat merch idea. I'd buy a T-shirt for sure.

well said/asked.

Well hell! Majority owner is significantly different than only retaining directional control! One has insurance while the other is subject to who knows what variable, respectively. So if whomever/whatever invested into this without gaining control, what monetary/concessionary gain did they make? That is really important information.

Putt had to tell him all the secrets to his short game.

If it's benign, awesome. If it is benign, why the hesitation to clarify on day 1?
