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?

    Need to be careful though; just like with the web and email, it can have standards capture where a few corporations control the standard and the main clients used to access the service.

    And just like Gopher, Lemmy could conceivably just fade away via neglect.

    Personally, I’d love to see someone create an ActivityPub interface for Gopher so it could have its overdue resurgence :D
