Discussion Thread
I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
- YSK Reddit will soon eliminate third party apps by overcharging for their API and that means no escape from ads or content manipulation

Reddit may force Apollo dev and other third party clients to shut down
Oh true, I forgot about that myself. Looks like the repo is still available - https://github.com/voat/voat

📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.
What is the next reddit though? I tried to jump onto voat.co, but that was a POS. Mastadon isn't cutting it, and is more of a twitter alternative anyway. Maybe somebody virtualizes a bunch of PHPBB instances (one per community)? And copies all the old discussions over?

Whats the most ridiculous thing youve seen during the pandemic?
Yes. I had forgotten about the vaccine passports. I got mine from voat.co and printed it up and no one ever asked me for it except at a bar. The hospital I work for didn't ask me for it because they peeked at all employees' medical records.

Is the USA a failed society?
There used to be this site called voat.co

Is there an Open Source version of Reddit?
The old Voat site was completely open source. https://github.com/voat/voat/tree/master

I want to thank this sub for everything.
I want to thank everyone on this sub, because you have been a very huge part of enlightening me with the Truth. I would visit r/conspiracy, r/The_Donald, 4chan, voat.co, Twitter, Gab, you name them. The most strong spirit of love, freedom, enlightenment, and Truth came from people on this sub, such as u/RMFN, polkadotgirl, peyotecayote, Obi Wan person, and many others who have been banned or just disappeared. If any of you are reading this, I want to say thank you.

Not trying to bring this or anyone down, But let's be honest, Lemmy sucks.
P2P by definition cannot be banned. For example no one can "ban" a user from download or uploading a file with bittorrent. We've been working on a fully P2P reddit alternative for 2 years, if you're interested in the design we have a whitepaper https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/discussions/2

Why Lemmy and Tildes are Doomed, and How You Can Prevent It
I've been working on a fully P2P reddit alternative that doesn't have "instances" that can block each other. Demo: https://plebbit-test.netlify.app Whitepaper: https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/discussions/2

We need a highly distributed alternative to Reddit that is beyond the ability of anyone to control and manipulate. Let our devices do the lifting whenever possible, somehow.

Aether, an open source P2P community board with mod elections and spam prevention
Plebbit seems to be a crypto 4chan idea of Reddit. From the FAQ
-
Switch to lemmy, its federated, privacy respecting reddit
Can't recommend Aether based on this discussion thread. Way too many hard sells listed for an unmaintained alternative. The latest forum thread even tells people to use a different platform, Plebbit (demo) (whitepaper), altogether.
