    They're acting really weird lately with the secret investor and partnerships and Putt looking up and banning people that downvoated him.

    Yeah something is up. Look how badly their $5k/mo Azure licensing fees screwed them over. Now they're bought and owned, it seems.

    Meanwhile we're chillin' at an average of $60/mo or so, because the site is designed so efficiently with open-source software. Saidit is a thing of beauty!

    When the big money comes knocking a lot of 'principled' people lose their principles. Keep that in mind.

    Yup, almost everyone has their price. Some can resist though. It's all about circumstance, and we're trying to create circumstances that lead us down a good path rather than a bad one.

    The people most likely to resist have these things in common: family, community, no significant debt, loving spouse, no major vices/addictions, offspring, religious convictions and religious community. Surprise, surprise these are the very things that the oligarchs systematically attempt to break, corrupt, subvert, demonize and erode.

    I haven't heard anything about this until now, so this is a guess.
    I'd wager that they're trying to significantly reduce the shilling nonsense, and have decided that this is the best way to cull the sick, from the herd.

    I would wish them good fortune.

    That sucks to hear. With the recent crashes, I wonder if it will end up going bankrupt?

    That was actually the reason I moved here, people were being assholes on Reddit and I was going to move to voat but it was invite only so I moved here. I think this place is better anyway

    Funny thing is, I registered at Voat late last year, and posted only one reply. I just went to log in to see if my account was still active, and found it's locked due to "security reasons". XD

    That is interesting.

    Did something significant occur over there for them to respond in this way?

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I think they had some kind of law enforcement contact over threats. Right after that there was a "lets cool it with the threats guys" post. Something like that. Edit: whoops wrong thread. I don't know why they are invite only right now,
