I remember when Voat came out and the slight exedous that brought. I made an account and everything but it never properly took off. I checked on it two or three years later and it was just filled with alt-right/racist/transphobic garbage. Sad it never took off as a reddit alternative, reddit likely would have greatly benefited from a proper alternative, not sad it closed down after I saw what it ended up.

So far the fediverse feels really different tho, very explicitly anti that type of shit. I’m sure it will pop up, they always do, but maybe now people know how to deal with it. Block it, defederate, deplatform.

Shit you right. My apologies, I skimmed your post very late at night lol.

Hopefully more apps pop up with more customization and settings like that.

On Connect for Lemmy, hold down on a comment to collapse it. Works the same was as rif did altho I’m still getting used to it.
