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?

    The worst part about Voat is that every single rational discussion was derailed by people throwing around slurs everywhere.

    It’s like the site operated on an alternative to Godwin’s Law, but instead of comparisons to Nazis and Adolf Hitler, the probability of a discussion descending into a shit-slinging contest of racist or antisemitic slurs approaches 100% instead.
