The first one you're referencing is voat.co. I can't remember the name of the second, but I do remember cute-looking dinosaurs all over the place and I think that's the one you're talking about.
Side note - I thought Victoria Taylor (/u/chooter) left for that competitor, but it appears that she was at WeWork and now at LinkedIn (as of August - just in time!)
- lghh 7y agoYep, voat is the one. It was... not ideal.
- aphextim 7y agoFun fact, before it was re-branded to voat it was called whoaverse and wasn't a giant trove of nationalist and racist posts. It actually had decent discussions. Over time as more and more of the people were banned from posting on Reddit they had to migrate somewhere, and eventually overtook whoaverse at which point putt re-branded it to voat.
- Deimorz 7y agoThe cute dinosaur one you're talking about was Imzy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imzy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imzy Victoria never worked at Imzy though (and didn't leave for anything - she was fired). She was at Cake (https://cake.co/ https://cake.co/) for a while, I think that was between WeWork and LinkedIn.
- kissickas 7y agoThanks! Wow, Cake looks terrible. I wish someone would just fork reddit and stop trying to make it look cute. Dense text may not be beautiful from afar but it looks so much better from a user's perspective than acres of whitespace and endless scrolling. edit: just checking out your project. Looks more like what I'm talking about!
