Yes, back when Voat still existed, /r/TheDonald tried to move to Voat. Then they moved back to Reddit.

Apparently /r/TheDonald was very used to being in a safe space. Voat didn't cater to that, and TheDonald couldn't take that so eventually they returned to Reddit.
This was before their separate website.

Oh dang, interesting
They tried getting rid of that in Voat, and it was such a cesspool that nobody sane used it, and the owner couldn't keep it up and shut it down. /r/TheDonald at one point tried to migrate after whining about Reddit's moderation and came crawling back because they couldn't stomach it.
Yeah, Reddit's moderation system is far from ideal, but we've seen experimentally that it's definitely better than not having it.
