| > So, I am trying to find a good alternative to reddit. Look into subreddits that are on the bubble of being banned on Reddit or that have already been deleted. Most of them have some kind of backup plan for their inevitable cancelling. Some of those backup platforms are decent community forums with a reasonably sized user-base. > Reddit used to be good, but it is clear that the admins and mods have ruined the website. It seems to be next to impossible to retain the core values of communities that grow in size and achieve real popularity. Any social media that wants to avoid this phenomena needs some kind of system for accomplishing this. So far, arguably only 4chan has managed to stay more-or-less true to its original purpose after achieving real traffic and being around long enough to go through all of the Internet's changes. > It would be nice to have some site where you can have meaningful discussions without openly being called the "N-word" (4chan) every other post IMO, people misunderstand some of the culture there. 4chan's distinct style serves as a strategic defense mechanism to keep out Karens/Normies/NPCs who ruin forums wherever they go. People who are easily outraged by dumb casual comments are not the types of people who can handle a censorship-free community. If you have a better system for keeping out people who can't handle co-existing with a diversity of ideas, please suggest it. |
