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 is a cetralized system. lemmy is not a system. its an app yhat has many onstances that use activitypub. not only dp i not use lemmy, you are currently not usong it since you posted to kbin. another application with many instances that uses activitypub. i do think the fediverse will succeed.

    1. because voat was a bastion of hate

    2. so many people have joined in already
