I've always liked Saidit's "two upvotes" system. It's so simple and creative, encouraging discussion rather than the mindless brigading that becomes so common with the vote wars for visibility.

Why would you want this place to be like reddit on such small, insignificant details? Building an independent, unique identity beyond reddit alternative should be the plan.
I reused the username I originally used when I moved to Ruqqus 3 years ago. I've been all over the place ever since, and I've seen many of these alternatives inevitably fall. Ruqqus, Voat, Votal, Syzitus, Saidit is somehow still active.
It may be something new to many of you, but at this point I've seen enough sites shut down. I don't mean to come here with bad vibes, but it's not easy to be optimistic anymore.
I still miss Ruqqus from time to time, despite not sharing the opinions of a good portion of their user base, I never had a bad experience, even though I did pock the hornet's nest a few times.
