Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I'm curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there's no hate-speech (that I'm aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let's hear your suggestions! Thank you!

Never heard of phuks. Went there and immediately the first thing I came across was hate speech. Assuming its not open source?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Looks like it's open source, but very dead

Sorting by new gets around 1-3 posts a day, site wide
the top post of all time was 6 years ago and it was discussing the shut down of Voat

So while they might not have recent hate speech, it seems like that's the community that started there. Sort by top all to see the context

Even by reddit standard, Lemmy is a dead zone as well.

It definitely isn't enough to feed the constant content addiction I had with Reddit, but I've found that kind of a good thing lol. I've started reading books and comics on my phone, getting out of bed faster, working on other projects, etc. It's like using a less toxic version to wean off, like using vapes or patches to get off cigarettes.

Agreed, imo lemmy is still better. Sadly, we still lack the niche communities reddit has..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That's the one thing, I really want more niche communities. Not sure if we just need more people or community discovery needs to be easier. I'd like to see more with the league of legends community and Meet Your Maker community, and I'm sure other people have niche video games or other small hobby communities they'd like to see take off more.

I can say that hate speech is smh even more common on open-source sites than on proprietary ones

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What was the nature of this hate speech? I don't want to get involved with nazis.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Aw, no! Phuks has fallen to hate speech? I'll have to investigate this. I investigated, and didn't find any hate speech. Just some dumb jokes. I'm talking they have posts with the N word right on the front page. So disgusting.
