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 was an unconditional “free speech” platform that wanted to be an alternative to reddit a few years ago. I think it took about a week until they had to ban the first communities on their site. The_Donald, QAnon and Gamergate was pretty big over there at first and it gradually turned into a neo Nazi platform. It was easily one of the worst sites around when it died.
So it was essentialy to reddit what truth is to twitter. (Although Musk is working hard to make twitter a bigger cesspool)
Ok, then it’s a good thing I never heard about it.
