Youre in charge. You figure it out. You do not want me to get involved. I have been in charge of web communities bigger than voat in the past. Before the internet turned really foul. Once youre numb to the voices of repeated retards screwing things up you stop giving a shit. I will divide your leadership, because I live by the means MY WAY or NO WAY. I will not see thousands of users displaced again, despite seeing it happening repeatedly. I also do not wish to invest my time here if this is just going to be another voat. I am already saving my links and posts from Voat to my computer for its inevitable death. So you need to be different.
So, here is my advice. Figure it all out now while you have the enthusiasm and lack of traffic. Also think heavily about monetization. Youre not in reach of merchandise and the like yet, but unless one of you have money to spare you will struggle eventually. So far I am happy with this place, all the other alternatives do not meet what I want or are just tech or reddit hubs.
I would welcome any more advice you can give. I will fight to keep it from becoming another reddit or voat as long as I can. Its why I legally cannot censor anyone here. I welcome all opinions as long as those who speak them are willing to defend them. Thanks for at least stopping by and I look forward to seeing you around.

Even amalek was censored on voat. He had all his alts deactivated. Didn't stop him creating more and shilling around. In the end, anyone on voat can be censored by just being downvoted a lot. I did enjoy watching that tard johnston or stevenson or whatever it was complain about not being able to comment because he was downvoted so hard. And that is how the echo chamber shills got what they wanted. They drive out all the smart people who know how to fight against them with frustration.
Well for the record the you are in no way limited by downvotes here. You can be in the negative and still have the ability to vote and comment the same as anyone. Its not a complete solution but I would say its a start.
