voat is a clone; but I don't think reddit as a platform is strong enough. I think it works for a lot of things (obviously) but other things it sucks terribly at.

Still, getting communities right is hard. Obviously. I have something in the works but, it's fairly different, and you know how these things can go south.

But i think this is good. it will spur innovation in the space, and thats good for everyone. Well, except reddit.
