A lot of folks already pointed out Voat's main issues, but the biggest thing here is that any sort of open source thing like this can't really totally fail if anyone is still using it. Voat was still centralized if I'm not mistaken.

I didnt know about lemmy or any of these federated alternatives and couldnt help but go back a few times. old habbits....i did already delete my account, so im just looking at top of popular and its all shit subs posting shit nobody cares about.
