Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?
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?

I tried voat. Waaaay too racist.
I tried voat, it was a hell site. Then I went to empeopled who had crypto rewards for posting (never actually paid out) and it stayed very small and was eventually closed down indefinitely.
I remember visiting them back whenever the FatPeopleHate debacle was happening and there was already a stupid amount of racism and misogyny on the site. I remember some weird masculinity sub posting stupid images with text inundated with Photoshop effects and whatnot, formatted such that it read like "GIVE YOUR A CHANCE BALLS!" next to a smiling Bill Cosby punching a tiger's dick off or some shit.
