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 wasn’t “even allowing racism and stuff”. It was created pretty much solely to be a safe space for assholes.

    Turns out that doesn’t keep the lights running.

      The first big migration happened to Voat when fatpeoplehate was banned.

        Yeah, assholes.

        Anyone that left Reddit just because they couldn’t belittle and demean people online is an asshole.
