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 great thing is that it has absolutely no bearing outside of that one instance. they have no control over anything that happens in lemmy.world or any other instance, if they are even exerting it over their own

        Tankies suck, but they’re so far from nazis morally it’s not even really fair to tankies to compare them.

        At least tankies generally speaking aren’t okay with genocide of innocents.

          If they praise Stalin, Mao or the CCP, then they’re on the same level. Genociders all.
