Like Voat, Hubski predates the most recent Reddit drama and launched way back in 2010. That and the nutso influx of traffic following all this recent Reddit drama has proven to be more of a curse than a blessing for Voat, which is frequently down thanks to overloaded servers. PayPal has cut off the site due to "obscenity" leaving it reliant mostly on payments in Bitcoin to survive. is pretty much the alternative of choice for many Redditors-especially the ones with fiery hatred of Reddit's attempts to cull its more vitriolic communities-but the site is plagued with issues of its own. Where Reddit his been cracking down on heinous hate-based subreddits, Voat has claimed that " No legal subject in this universe should be out of bounds." At least until its owners discovered they might be personally liable for illegal content, at which point they decided to maybe start banning subverses that look sketchy. And the general visual layout speaks for itself. Instead of urls like /r/pics, Voat has urls like /v/pics. Instead of subreddits, Voat has sub verses. Launched as a Reddit alternative back in April of 2014, Voat is basically a mirror image of the site it imitates. Probably the most popular and widely known of the Reddit alternatives is.

Over 30 of the site's most popular subreddits went dark in a show of solidarity, protesting against the now Conde Nast-owned site's treatment of its Reddit-employed admins and volunteer moderators. Then a well-loved moderator of the famous interview subreddit r/IAMA was inexplicably let go, and the Redditsphere exploded. First, it banned its alarmingly popular forum devoted to ceaselessly mocking the overweight, which sent Redditors of all stripes (but mostly jerks) into a tizzy. Reddit has been going through some hard times lately.
