We have to be vigilant though. Can't let what happened to Voat happen again.
What happened to voat?
Voat was actually pretty nice back in the day, smaller than Reddit but has its own niche communities, until the Pao thing happened, Voat committed to absolute free speech, and subs like FatPeopleHate and other subs banned from Reddit moved there, and then slowly it turned worse than /pol/ and the full front page was literally covered in Nazi slogans and N-word.
Then nobody wants to host such a horrid pool of toxic sludge anymore, and they shut down.
I miss the good old days with the containment subs for the retards.
I think Lemmy is an evolution of that, as now we have containment instances instead.
It will be good if they make their own instances.
