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?

    I have no love for tankies and detest them, but there is a key fundamental difference. Tankies by definition simp for communist or formerly communist regimes and ignore the authoritarian crackdowns and human rights abuses.

    Nazis are in favor of the human rights abuses and want genocides. They have a racial superiority complex and desire an ethnostate.

    One group ignores and makes excuses for detestable behavior. The other celebrates and advocates for the detestable behavior. It’s a very important difference. I don’t like either, but a tankie isn’t going to try and kill me for being an undesirable. They just won’t defend me if the government unfairly takes action against me or imprisons me.
