I suspect that it's about Voat's new feature that's been due for a long time. It's the ability to open polls to take sub ownership from subs that are being poorly managed - moving Voat to a 'more democratic' state.
Done improperly, it's going to be tyranny of the mob.
Pop some popcorn. It could get amusing for a while. It's probably not going to end well.
I would like to say that I can't believe he's going to go through with this idea, but I can believe it. Putt has a history of questionable choices and buggy code. I think he usually means well, but he's sometimes also a master troll.
Yeah, I don't especially want to see @KosherHiveKicker leading my sub so let's hope you are wrong in your hunch. A bizarrely stupid idea to give the Reichstag even more capacity for abuse than they already have.
I've burned a whole lot of bridges on Voat. Tons of people despise me. I literally drive them to insane angry ramblings.
Not gonna lie, this pleases me greatly.
I'm not too worried. I should be fine. I wish you good luck.
Lemme know if a takeover happens. I'll probably notice it on my own, but do let me know if it's an issue. Not that I'm going to help, but it just might be spectacularly good entertainment.
The difference between myself and much of Voat is that I'm welcome on any social media platform I want.
Also, I suspect I'll be just fine.
I should try to drive them into political factions, complete with corruption and vote selling/trading.
Voat is a lot more interesting when you think of it as a MUD.
I made it this far into the game. I'm pretty sure I'll do just fine.
In fact, it might help to think of it this way, if they take it then there's probably no rule that prohibits you from taking it back by cunning, subtle manipulation, and conspiracy.
So... Umm... I can possibly bring quite a few votes with me and I've long told Voat that I'm not above bribery. I can bring quite a few votes without even breaking the rules - or using any alts of my own.
Yup, I'm gonna be just fine. I have burned a lot of bridges, but I've forged some good ones.
I checked and you're one of the very, very few goats with more negative CCP and SCP than I have.
Man, Voat hates you more than they hate a "liberal," nigger, college educated, mixed-breed, egotistical, obnoxious, drug-doing, rock loving, atheist, pretty much heathen in every way me.

That's just my hunch. I don't actually know.

It's gonna be super fun and you know it. I want to know who will be the new Messiah of the Qoomers.

First they came for the Joes, and I did not help - because I was not a Joe...

I take a certain pride in the very real prospect that I'm despised here more than you are. Take that as you will.
TheBuddha ago
You think so?
Wait - I can agree that you are.
I checked and you're one of the very, very few goats with more negative CCP and SCP than I have.
Man, Voat hates you more than they hate a "liberal," nigger, college educated, mixed-breed, egotistical, obnoxious, drug-doing, rock loving, atheist, pretty much heathen in every way me.
You're right. That's something to be proud of.

Are you gonna assasinate him to prevent the incoming coup?

Probably more like have a fit and move to Poal, unfortunately.
