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?

This is just the start of Reddit’s board going for the big money. It’s at odds with a volunteer modded site and volunteer created content. Mods aren’t going to be happy to do unpaid work just so the CEO can get rich. This API stuff is just the first exposure of this conflict. As more mods wonder why they are doing this for free just so what’s his name gets rich, more will abandon Reddit and come to Lemmy.
