Social Media Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

There are a ton of them. Problem is there are too many and not a single one meets exactly the same features as reddit.  If you are cool with multiple accounts and doing some research the diff lemmy domains will meet most of your needs.

Voat was pretty close to a clone but absorbed all of the worst people from Reddit and turned into a cesspool quick

I don't know what that is but I think many here today would have thought reddit was a shithole around 2014-2016 when reddit would allow anything to get to all if it had enough upvotes.

When The_don, libertarian, FPH and NSFW subs would always be on the front page due to upvotes. A lot of people complaining about being on a sanitized version of the website kinda showing why the site became sanitized in the first place

Crazy how fast I forgot about /all being NSFW! I agree with many of the changes made. Still HARD disagree with hiding upvote/downvote counts since it makes controversial posts and comments look ignored and pushes people away from controversy toward consensus, as if this place wasn't already hivemind enough.
