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?

    Technology can be used by anyone for good or evil regardless of the morality of the creator.

    Even if the devs were literal Nazis, someone could just hard fork the software, and everyone could switch and continue on with their day. That’s why free software is beautiful.
