I saw KIA linked on the All Communities sidebar and from the most recent posts assumed it was dead, then I happened to notice a few KIA2 posts on communities.win and apparently this one is active.
Sorry if this has been discussed to death already. I just got here.
Voat was a thing until December. Then there was poal, ruqqus, saidit, and presumably more.
Even if there were no other commenting sites left on the internet, that is no excuse to use reddit. Sure, all those alternatives have their own issues, but you know what reddit is.
Voat was a thing back when it was just KIA1. Many tried to migrate and the literal servers barely worked and it was unusable for most people. That's why it specifically failed.
Most of the alternatives you listed were considered, and failed that "free speech" test on their own sales pitch when they came to recruit us.
I'm not disagree reddit is awful, but its the current nest. People aren't gonna go setup shop somewhere new if its already suspicious before we even start.
Ironically, saidit.net has just gone down today, probably as a result of the new tranny admin (who keeps stirring up shit) threatening to report users to the FBI yesterday.
Given my experiences on other sites, perhaps I've been a little too harsh in my criticism of people who still use reddit, but aren't degenerates themselves.
