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?

    Should we care that other people still use reddit?

    Do you have to chose one or the other?

    Why are people so hell bent to “take over” Reddit?

    I found an alternative in Kbin and Lemmy that suits my needs and focuses on user experience and growing communities instead of growing the pockets of a handful of people.

    I decide to not use Reddit anymore because the upper echelon can go fuck themselves.

    Is it so weird to have a set of values and stop using a service/product, because they cross the boundaries one has set for themselves?

    I have used Reddit for more than a decade and I haven’t missed it all.

    I am here because I enjoy it and not because I have a deeper desire for Reddit to evaporate out of nowhere.

      I think most of the answers to your questions can be answered by the question that this comment section is responding to, to understand the framing that I’m commenting in:

      But, this is the first and last Reddit related thread that I plan on participating in, so I’ll be cheering with you, if we ever get the miracle of reddit evaporating. Although, I would be worried where they would all end up.
