Given the outcome of the shitshow in DC today, do we have a Plan C for where to go after this? I have a feeling the .win family is going to be targeted soon and wanted to know where the current backups are.
Edit: Well shit, that escalated quick... see TDW for details in this thread: https://thedonald.win/p/11RhAqC6sa/mods-are-compromised/
There's Poal and Saidit:
These were the original provided Reddit alternatives, not without their issues.
If anyone does use Poal, word of caution: they don't want the downvote button used absent of reporting spam. Their admins will go out of their way to deduct points...which are still mostly useless Internet numbers, except they are required for certain features (creating a new subreddit, voting in polls).
There are some other less centralized options too, like Aether. Aether requires an app though, which makes it a non-starter for some. And some others are less forum and more 1-long chatroom, so those don't work either.
Edit: Apparently Dom posted alts here:

Forgot about Ruqqus - https://ruqqus.com/+kotakuinaction2
You should probably forget about Ruqqus. The admins there have been coordinating with a discord group that hates the user base to do massive deplatforming and censorship of undesirables. The group is called the Ruqqus Corrective Project, and functions similarly to SRS and AHS on Reddit. The site has a similar feature to quarantines on Reddit, called "Offensive" guilds.
On Christmas, the top admin and dev helped the discord group seize multiple wrongthink guilds.They also don't consider criticism as part of free speech, and thus banned users for criticizing admins for the censorship.
Ty!
Correct, thank you for posting those.
