I think you and eli are both right. Neither Gab not Voat are likely to succeed, because of network effects.
The only way a new social network is likely to succeed is if it is part of a federation of social networks that communicate using protocols such as ActivityPub, making one big network where the whole exceeds the sum of thew parts.

That may well be true. But maybe some Gab people want to interact with some Voat people, and if the applications were interoperable they would be able to.
