voat VS Reddit

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.

Oh true, I forgot about that myself. Looks like the repo is still available - https://github.com/voat/voat

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?

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.

There used to be this site called voat.co

The old Voat site was completely open source. https://github.com/voat/voat/tree/master

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.

Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Shh, don't tell spez, the code is already available on the github https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

There are already 1:1 reddit clones based on older versions of their software that was open source: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
