What changed and why?

Nothing changed, really. /u/Polsaker was looking at it and noticed that it was complete nonsense. We made a placeholder policy two years ago when the site wasn't even called Phuks, and it was kind of forgotten about because the only focus was on the TOS. I've actually opened the privacy policy page a few times and never made it past the third line because it was so boring, but it did have stuff in there that does not even remotely apply to the site.

So basically, this is privacy policy v1.0. Nothing has changed, there are no things we added that infringed upon the old policy, it's just we didn't really have a relevant policy to begin with. As a side note, if there are any questions you have or suggestions relating to the privacy policy, now is probably a good time.

Nope, it was written from the ground up in Python (Voat's written in C# IIRC)

Well hot damn, that explains why this site doesn't suck! I really don't know what they were thinking when they wrote voat. I don't pretend to know anything about writing code, but even I've picked up that C languages aren't exactly friendly to growth.

Anyway, thanks for answering my questions :)

Well, we don't know (yet) how Phuks will scale with a few thousands users :p

If I remember right, when Voat was started it was just a project to learn c# and the other tools involved.
It evolved into what it became without clear intent or planning. If they had known, they probably would have used a different platform.

Phuks has the advantage of knowing the goal at the start, and an example to learn from.
So they've made better choices.

that C languages aren't exactly

Not all C's can be thought of as the same. C# shares a similar syntax(structure and keywords) to C and C+. That's where the name comes from. But the compiler is very different.
C or C+ could theoretically scale fine and perform better, but for other reasons are not the best choice.

Ackchyually it started off as a project for pembo to learn python and stuff. It didn't really become a more focused thing for quite a while after the original development started. The difference is we've had multiple rewrites and redesigns, whereas Voat has kind of just been the same for the past few years.

This was a learning project... Until one day I say "well, we're shipping this to production in two fucking weeks so better fix all these bugs now"
