Voat died because they took a max free speech approach, even allowing racism and stuff. Lemmy does not have a central administration that can make decisions like that, as each instance gets to decide if they federate with another instance or not.

There's no doubt going to be a banlist that gets shared amongst the biggest, most popular instances to get rid of the trolls.

I don't know, I was there in the beginning. I think it died because it had no real content, compared to reddit. And, all anyone talked about was reddit, or reposted stuff from reddit, just like we're seeing here. I think this might stick a bit better because reddit is way bigger than it was back then, so even if the same % of users came over, it would still be quite a bit more content.

The reasons were less tangible before. Taking away popular apps will have a much bigger impact than some subreddit drama.

Taking away popular apps to a social network that doesn't have any? What?

How many times have you gone to reddit today?

None.

Ok, now let's ask the 99.9% of Redditors that aren't here. You take the left 25,000,000, I'll take the right, meet back in 5. Go!

edit: Oh man, I'm out of breath. We might need help. How about every single lemmy user helps us! That's only about 1,300 people we each have to ask! Well, 1,299 for me. At 4 seconds each, that's should only be about 1.5 hours. See you all soon!
