I don't know much about Bitcoin, but someone once told me you should never use the same address twice, isn't there a way to generate a new address for everyone who wants to donate? Or is it not that important in this case?

It's a good rule of thumb to not reuse addresses, but you can get away with it as long as you understand the repercussions.
Voat's address reuse is not ideal, but it's kind of nice because we can share the address around, or put it in the sidebar. If they had a proper donation page, then it would be good practice to avoid reusing addresses.
