Voat came out in 2014 and was kinda big for a while. I used it for a few weeks, but activity started dying down and I didn't think about it again until I found out it was being shut down in 2020. The Wikipedia article says many of the users migrated from subreddits on the right of the political spectrum, so maybe that's why.

This time it's different, though. The recent drama affects way more than just a couple subreddits.
