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?

    This is a fantastic point. I had completely forgotten about that aspect of Voat.

    It is one of those things that on the surface sounds like it could help filter out user that aren’t a good fit for a platform but can quickly lead to the platform being stuck with only a certain kind of users.
