Comment on: The Ruby Programming Language community is now under siege by SJW entryists and the trojan horse Code of Conduct
Read through this shit-show to see how harmful/distracting these idiots are to a project. It's a complete joke.

Thought I'd let ya know, I've added an update to the OP regarding changes to RandomVoat and announcing TopPostOnVoat. Thanks again for your input and interest! :)

Thanks! I'm planning on adjusting it to link just one random (current) thread, based on the great feedback that everyone's given so far. I gave a slightly more in-depth answer to @NiklausTheNaked above.

Sure can! I can point it to pull from any subs.
It's currently pulling from: /v/Showerthoughts /v/TIL /v/whatever /v/funny
The way the ruby script operates, I can have it pull from many subs or just one.

Yeah, the original concept was to just smash up to 3 randomly selected strings (post titles) together, as it can produce some random/silly results. However, after the feedback I've received so far, I think I'll be adjusting it to just grab one random link from a dump file, which will be scraped and overwritten daily (at least once/day) to avoid linking to extremely old threads.

I'm working on another one as we speak that will tweet the current top post ~few hours, which will include the direct link to the posts it tweets. I've already set up the place-holder account on Twitter - TopPostOnVoat - and am currently adjusting the ruby script I'm using to scrape titles with. I should hopefully have it running by tonight/tomorrow. I'll update once it's live!

Much appreciated, glad you like it!
