Side topic: In the USA, what is the legal precedent for business competitors having a very similar name? If I name my social network for race car drivers "Racebook, Inc.", and my logo is a blue square with a white "r" on it, am i opening myself up to legal trouble?
The communities already there appear to be as toxic as reddit, so good job. I guess.
It didn't take long before your site was taken over by political extremists

Unlike copyrights or patents, if trademarks aren't well protected they can be considered forfeited (Bayer's Aspirin is a pretty common example). So you could imagine Facebook or Reddit reacting pretty swiftly in the case of examples like yours or OP.

Eh it's not really a general purpose reddit clone, it was written by users of /r/anarchism as an alternative platform for discussion because they lost faith in the reddit administration. You can see this in the design of the site, with a larger focus on democratic decision making and an intolerance for any bigoted or racist communities. If voat was the alt-right's reddit alternative then raddit is the lefts.
