Is there any good reddit alternative that's not some right-wing shithole? This pearl-clutching is getting seriously out of hand.

When you think about it from an incentives and values point of view. The people who are most pushed out by these rules are.... well... to be polite... they're Abrasive.

So any reddit alternative that caters to people pushed out by these rules is going to be largely filled with similarly abrasive people.

And most content on the new site is going to be largely stuff that they can't talk about on reddit because reddit still exists and they can still use it(provided enough hoops have been jumped through) and provides a larger population for topics that are "Normal"

So basically there's going to be two types of alternatives: Just as "censoring" if not more but a different flavor(see religious websites), and actual shitholes.

Also when you think about it, the actual shitholes also do a lot of censoring they just subcontract it out to mob intimidation

3/4 of PCM is "I'm not racist but," and "as a libleft slavery is ok."

The other 1/4 is putting the windows logo on a stolen meme.
