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?

    tbh the culture here is reddit in its purest form right now. once they start sanitizing everything here again I’m out. One opinion allowed ONLY and if you dont align you’re a NAZI and FAR RIGHT TROLL

        Perfect. ‘Downvote’ me too so you can really show it to me how WRONG I am.

        If you want to see what happens if this culture permeates here just look at Mastodon. Negative growth, barely any interaction and it’s the same few people shouting into the void. I checked some mutuals who proudly announced they’d move to Mastodon and most haven’t posted anything this year. Still posting regularly on Twitter tho :clownface:
        A lot of users here are the same, ‘move’ here to show they’re protesting and then stop posting in a few weeks or months and back to reddit.
        Some clown mod made over 50 magazines/subs on kbin. Hasnt posted 1 comment since a little over a week. Bio reads: ‘Proud owner of xxx communities.’ lol

        If there is no unique culture/point to this platform and it’s just reddit 2.0 then people will simply go back to reddit.

      Having been called fascist, troll, sealion, and all manner of insults because I dared disagree – Yeah, you’re totally right.

      People gotta learn to deal with speech they dislike or disagree with. That’s the beauty of democracy.

        This is the least self aware post ever. You should learn to deal with speech you dislike instead of complaining about being called a fascist
