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?

      It’s very relevant to the discussion, literally not even slightly off topic. Voat admins supported horrible shit, Lemmy’s do too.

      If this is to be believed, I have no opinion on it but it is definitely relevant. Debate the claim all you want.

        The difference is, VOAT was a single website, whos owners could do anything they wanted and enforce their horrible shit. Lemmy is not controlled by the people that created it, by its very nature it cant be. So it doesn’t matter what they believe, it is completely irrelevant to how Lemmy functions.
