I don’t remember what caused the Voat’s origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020.

What’s different about this time and with Lemmy to make it a feasible alternative to Reddit? Is it random chance?

    This is just my two cents from last time with no real facts to back it.

    Voat died because it was mostly a place to hate on Reddit. And while there is a lot of Reddit hating still going on here, its died down a lot.

    I feel the survival of any platform is for it to not be a one trick pony. And I feel this is starting to go in that direction. But only time can tell if it keeps going.

      Yeah I’ve already moved on to just enjoying the content and interacting with people. I enjoy the people here and the overall more humble discourse with people. It’s chill here and commenting is fun. I see myself sticking around.
