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?

    Voat allowed anything. So it was quickly overran by reddit worst subs that got banned. All vile hate and racism. And mods also banned people they don’t like. Quickly other users left. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to see hate and less interested in political fights. No one would want to advertise there or donate to such website.

    Lemmy is made of federated instances not controlled by one .
