7 awesome Reddit alternatives you should try right now

Filling a Reddit-sized hole

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/628792

From the article:

"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it’s one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you’re going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.

Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you’ll see the platform is committed to avoiding the “hate speech” and “disinformation” that’s prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you’re sure to find something of interest here."

    LOL. They list Digg as a Reddit alternative.

    Someone had a giggle when they wrote that.

    Feels like this Beehaw section of the article is missing the mark in it’s failure to recognize Lemmy or the Fediverse as a whole.

          I don’t think I’d call microblogging a Reddit alternative, they’re wildly different formats even if they’re somewhat interoperable here.

      It’s actually pretty amazing how little understanding tech writers seem to know about tech. They’re just PR mouthpieces for gadget companies.

      They do want to refederate when we get some better moderation tools. It would be cool if we had a list of the tools they need the most in order to refederate as I’m sure some in the community would be more motivated to make those tools if they new the priorities.

      It certainly comes at an unfortunate time, but I can’t fault them for wanting to build a community around their own ideology. They were left with few other options since the existing moderation tools won’t yet facilitate the enforcement of such rules. It will come eventually.

      I mean, when some of those sites they defederated from are going around proudly announcing they’d rather ban people asking that they defederate from the Nazi instance than the Nazi instance itself, it really drives home how much it was the right decision. We absolutely, under no circumstances, should let this space become just another Nazi bar.

          388 instances is not a number that indicates “overrun.” Anyone can make an instance.

          I’m confused on how this works… I’m on lemmy.world, and they list that as a blocked instance on that page… But I can still access beehaw communities no problem from here.

        You do know that whole “Lemmy was created by Nazis” thing was just a story made up by one guy, right? I mean sure, Nazis exist but what they’re done is effectively ban the entire world because Nazis exist in the world.

    Seems like they don’t quite understand that beehaw is a lemmy instance. They missed the mark.

    It’s anything that they chose to shout out the instance that is not completely open to new users and has de-federated from other popular instances
