Ruqqus is leasing server space from some kid in Mongolia, lol

If this is true all I can do is shake my head. I had reached out to the owner to see if they needed an investor to help facilitate them getting up and running consistently. He said they were taking donations and I told him that wasn't what I was talking about. I asked him if he was having hardware or software issues and his reply was efficiency issues.

If they don't want an investor, that is fine, just say that. But he kept mentioning donating several times in the conversation and that wasn't what I was talking about and made it quite clear. Why would I donate to a site that can't stay up and running?

Right now is the time to have your server up and run consistently as you had a huge opportunity to get a ton of traffic from the exodus at Reddit.

did you mean become a partner with him, have access to code and shit, I can see why he wouldn't want that from a stranger online

I wouldn’t necessarily want access to code but a say in how things come about. That is what investing is. I would have been willing to even meet with him. I have a lot of expertise in implementing software systems... over 20 years in the business. He just didn’t seem very interested. He could have just said I don’t want investors.

If he wasn't asking for investors why would you even offer? If you've got 20 years in, you should fully understand there is a process to seeking and vetting investors. No one in their right mind is going to hand over direction to some guy off the street unless the investment offer is absurdly high.

Yeah he probably just wants money, donations, now that is a risk if you give him money he might just shut down the site and take the cash, I wouldn't do it but there are people out there with cash to throw around I'm sure. "A say in how things come about" I'd say no to that. Especially with this kind of website, he needs anonymity, can't take chances, you could be a troll or govt shill. Not saying he is just yeah a lot of people have vested interests in sabotaging this reddit alternative sites.

Yeah, they usually have no problem saying they're taking the same route as here- no investors no ads.
