More importantly, talk about stuff besides Reddit!

I tried using Voat 6(?) years ago when there was a similar (but smaller-scale) protest. The fact that a lot of Voat users were those chased out of hate subs was part of the problem, but the other part of the problem was that half the content was "look how much better we are than reddit".

Discussion about reddit is fine (it is still a big site), but we need our own content too.

I just made a version of one of my favourite subs, which I think most people could contribute to: [email protected]

I tried to move over to Voat but it very quickly turned into a cesspit.

It's almost as if making a site dedicated to people too racist, sexist, antisocial, etc, for even Reddit's lax moderation policies, was a bad idea.

And that's before it became a central hub for literal treason.

I forgot all about voat.

I'm hopeful that large scale subs going dark will help us. That and being forced off of 3rd party apps.

the community here is doing a decent job - I think it's just whether we can all continue to engage actively here (and not get up to shenanigans like defederating from everyone else ahem)

Oh man, I forgot about Voat. That place was... interesting for a little while.
