Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I’m curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there’s no hate-speech (that I’m aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let’s hear your suggestions! Thank you!

    Never heard of phuks. Went there and immediately the first thing I came across was hate speech. Assuming its not open source?

      Looks like it’s open source, but very dead

      • Sorting by new gets around 1-3 posts a day, site wide

      • the top post of all time was 6 years ago and it was discussing the shut down of Voat

      So while they might not have recent hate speech, it seems like that’s the community that started there. Sort by top all to see the context

    Personally I would filter and only look at platforms that are open source and Fediverse/ActivityPub compatible. Otherwise it will suffer from similar issues as the other alternatives (centralization, lack of community/momentum, takeovers).

    As long as the platform federates nicely then it really comes down to personal preference. The content and communities can grow independently :)

    The platforms that come to mind for that are Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and Sublinks. I’m probably missing some other good ones
