The "Marseyverse" exists. It really only has individual subreddit-websites. Each website is a fork of Ruqqus code (which itself was a failed-reddit clone that forked reddit's code) Examples would be rdrama.net watchpeopledie.tv themotte.org ovarit.com All full-reddit clones that I know of have failed miserably. And many reddit communities have tried establishing off-sites and failed. The factors for success seem to be: 1. The communities were banned or hampered on reddit 2. The communities have a unique culture 3. Some people in the community take on the responsibility for developing/maintaining the offsite 4. The users of the community donate money to keep everything running (a la SomethingAwful)

>Ruqqus code (which itself was a failed-reddit clone Ruqqus was murdered. They decided that it was better to kill the site rather than tolerate those nasty evil Republicans posting there. Were there a bunch of stormmers and Reichtards posting there too? Yes, there were. But most of the rest of the site's userbase did their best to drown them out with communication. The site's developers decided that wasn't enough. Any site that claims to be dedicated to freedom of speech but won't allow their userbase to exercise that freedom of speech is worthless. Ruqqus was worthless.
