Thanks! However the archived reddit post is a warning that the domain was about to expire (not that it was bought by redditors) and this comment in the archived voat post proves the domain registration doesn't expire until this September. So it looks very much like a hoax or misunderstanding that redditors bought the domain. It could still happen though.
Yeah I noticed after posting while reading it, sry.
Maybe it was in a different post by SaneGoat that he mentioned what I was referencing. But it's nice outside & chores have to get done, I'll look into it later.

Voat might be owned and run by Conde Nast...a company that also owns Reddit;

Conde Nast might have also bought out and shut down the image hosting site Sli.mg.

Sli.mg's hosting was bought by reddit users when they found out it was up for renewal. There were posts about it.
