The first site to come to mind is voat.co. I explored it out of curiosity a while after the "purging of intolerable subreddits" a couple years back. The impression I got was that of a seedy underbelly of aggregate news sites like reddit, populated by a mass of displaced misanthropes. It didn't take long to nope out of there.
- Zak 7y agoI wonder if it's possible to be the less moderated alternative to a popular platform without just becoming the platform for horrible people. To give an example, in its FOSTA-related policy updates, reddit also banned exchanges of heavily-regulated products like alcohol and firearms. There was no mandate to do so, as safe-harbor provisions are very much intact in case, for example, a reddit user sells a gallon of homebrewed beer to a 20 year old. Such changes might provide motivation for people who aren't at all horrible to move elsewhere.
