What are the chances someone from reddit is doing that?
If you mean a user, pretty high. Reddit users and former users make up the bulk of people who are interested in or are otherwise aware of Voat, and account for a significant amount of internet users in general.
If you mean an admin or other employee, pretty low. Anyone who says otherwise is either merely speculating or gone down the conspiracy rabbit-hole. And let’s not kid ourselves — actual low-mid level employees have better things to do, and the high-level employees that we’d love to blame for everything would not be so technically-inclined.
