Looks to me as though they're trying to get rid of the sub. In the past, they have made a decision on removing mods of subs and putting new ones in without too much user interaction, and they have never directly asked if a sub should be left to rot before.
The fact that the conversation can not be had without it being anon says a lot about the decline of Voat's community.
More than likely the only people who want to invest in it are white nationalists looking to turn it into more of a hugbox than it currently is.
The term investor implies that they expect a return on their money. And I hate to break it to you, but anyone with money to invest isn't going to give free speech a more important priority than their money with which they expect a return on. What they really need if they want to live is a high profile donor, not that I hope that happens, as they do not deserve it.
I wasn't suggesting that the person was putting money into the project to get a return more that they were putting money in to support their own belief on free speech.
It seems like no investor is willing to invest in that userbase. Go figure.
