Well once they started helpfully prefiltering, I hiked. The writing was on the wall. Its a shame voat was already entrenched by edgelords and under constant ddos. I think a new clone with better privacy filters would do well.
- scrollaway 8y agoI think saying "the writing was on the wall" is a bit weird. People have been claiming Reddit going the way of Digg for as long as it's existed. It's bound to happen at some point... death is an inevitable part of life, even of a website's / company's life. You and I are bound to die at some point, the writing is on the wall, yknow? But yeah, I really miss Reddit not being full of vile shit. Does seem to be somewhat inevitable when a community grows. And the site has grown massively. Which means all the subreddits that existed back then grew massively. So new ones are created, and for a while those don't suck as much... but they grow as a function of the site's growth. And the bigger the site, the faster "fresh new subreddits" grow, and end up being atrocious.
- elektor 8y agoThere is a clone of Reddit that I've been using for 2 months that reminds me of a 2008-era Reddit. Its called Tildes and is run by a former Reddit admin. https://tildes.net/ https://tildes.net/ They're in beta mode right now, I have a few invites if anyone is interested.

- scrollaway 8y agoI'm interested in checking it out, as long as we're not talking about the usual "reddit banned me for hating muslims" kind of Reddit alternative (which this doesn't seem to be, from what I can gather). Email on my profile.
