It’s an alternative interface to Reddit, not a new site with different moderation rules.
- FreeTrade 6y agoIt is an improvement over reddit's gradually worsening interface, however it is still based on reddit's private platform. For an open source alternative on a public platform, there is matrix or member.cash
- dicknuckle 6y agomatrix is for live chat. you want saidit which is an open source fork of reddit's open source code that stopped in 2017.
- glenstein 6y agoWell these days Lemmy is the hot new reddit alternative, based on activitypub. I would think that's what people wanting a reddit alternative should look at.
- jhabdas 6y agoLemmy looks good. Here's a link to the software. https://lemmy.ml/docs/about.html https://lemmy.ml/docs/about.html

- takeda 6y agoA great alternative on reddit, or rather reddit became an alternative to it, is Usenet. It really sucks that NNTP is disappearing and no longer being provided by ISPs.
- yborg 6y agoDidn't scale well. Largely unmoderated so filled with illegal content. Nobody wants to deal with it without getting paid for it somehow.
- takeda 6y agoI never was admin of a NNTP server, but I don't think it's true about scaling or moderation. From what I know when you're admin, you decide which groups you allow on your server. The controversial stuff is really on groups starting with "alt." which are as I understand created ad-hoc. "alt.binaries" for example is where it's mostly pirated stuff is at. I saw many servers that had restricted list of groups, and "alt.binaries" was often restricted, partially because it might be pirated, partially to reduce disk footprint. As for moderation. Once you have server you can moderate and send messages that will remove offending content from any group. Because it is decentralized it is really up to admins of other NNTP servers to decide whether they will respect your moderation messages or not.
