There have also been other sites like Voat and Poal(?) which all didn't work out for various reasons such as shit admins selectively enforcing rules, sound familiar?
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up.

Voat died because the owner did not want to pay to run it anymore
