Aaand yet another reddit "alternative" and they all seem to fail or have troubles gaining traction. I can recall voat.co, hubski.com and imzy.com (my favorite so far) and now one more. I'd really like to know why devs think they can rival Reddit, it's just too big.

The same people said that about Digg before Reddit took all their users.

People switched from Digg to Reddit for mainly two reasons.

1. Digg started sucking

2. Reddit offered a truly innovative feature that most people found useful, subreddits

Reddit is still great, and this doesn't offer any significant features that I'd consider important enough for most people to switch.

I would like a decentralized Reddit.

Same here. And with all the hype Mastodon and GNU Social inspired Twitter alternatives are getting now, I'm surprised no one's done the same for Reddit yet. Or at least managed to advertise it heavily enough that people have heard of it.

It'd certainly fix a lot of Reddit's issues with censorship (by making it so the subreddit owners act like independent forum owners). Or if it's truly decentralised rather than federated, by not having a single person or team doing the moderation in general. And there'd certainly be no possibility of the system losing CSS support...

Have you heard of things like NNTPChan? Granted, it's not "Reddit" (it's an imageboard) however it's an imageboard that works over NNTP. It's as decentralised as I know of, though I'd also be interested in finding decentralised Reddit alternatives.

Curious what you liked about imzy.

Digg was once too big...
