Those pitbulls would attack you dog. Either dumb or just don’t care. I don’t care if this offends you, for the sake of animal safety you need to hear it.

Shut down awhile ago.

And the reddit blackout is forcing people into the habit of using lemmy. Ideally that habit replaces the old one.

One could moderate their own community on voat and ban people from it, but nobody cared to even make communities that were not about either reddit or very grotesque racist content. It eventually died because quite frankly your right, people don’t even want to touch a website like that with a proxy because it was way too hot and probably monitored by intel agencies. I know I stopped posting there once it turned into that, wasn’t worth the personal risk of my ip being associated with that. But I think it was two things combined. The out of control content, but also the fact nobody used it other than to post extreme content, so if you banned the extreme content you would be left with nothing at all anyway.

Or what some mod thinks you should and should not be seeing.

Yes a similar thing happened on voat, but voat died and it wasn’t just because of the trolls. It was because the only people who commented commented about reddit, it was basically a reddit based forum, and when people got tired of complaining about reddit they just left. Make sure to use this community as much as possible to grow it and keep it this way. Make it a habit to login daily and replace bad habits with this new habit. And 9/10 your favorite community won’t exist here, and I highly encourage you to build it if it doesn’t and then promote it. I am doing that for /c/frugal: https://lemmy.world/c/frugal

As someone who used voat for awhiel here are my tips:

1. USE this platform, don’t use reddit. USE this platform and give it content. Content is basically the same as oxygen you can’t deprive it, POST often and comment OFTEN.
2. Don’t dwell on reddit too much. Voat’s only active communities were about shit posting on reddit (they had a /v/MeanwhileOnReddit and a few banned communities and that was it, nobody used any other communities). Find your favorite community and build it. Build just 1 ideally, anymore is too thin. I am building up https://lemmy.world/c/frugal
