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?

Honestly - I agreed with the first paragraph of your comment and was going to upvote, but all the edits made me reconsider; this is a place to share our thoughts, not worry about how many people up/down-ticked our comment.
Throw out a thought and forget the “karma”!
The first was an afterthought that I wanted to include, and the score was negative by the time I added it, so I added some humor. The second was because I realized my time trying Voat was close to the hate subs that the majority of the comments here are about. Neither were (originally) about up/down, I was just trying to be polite by making the additions clear, since there’s no indicator in my UI.
The last one was a lighthearted joke. I thought the last few sentences of it, and the first few, and the middle ones, would make that clear. With an empty /m/funny and /m/jokes, and a /m/memes full of constipation, I’m beginning to suspect my humor may not be well align here.
But, I do think it’s silly that given an opinion about my experience, on a question requesting an opinion about that event, results in downvotes. I guess I don’t get the point of this place. If we’re supposed to ignore karma, and what the larger community thinks of a comment, the score (and authors!) probably shouldn’t be placed at such a predominant position with such a large size, suggesting importance or worth (I’m on kbin UI).
