I’ve seen https://tildes.net/ pop up but it’s invite only atm I think, would totally be down for an invite from anyone here though :)
Invite, slightly obfuscated: uggcf://gvyqrf.arg/ertvfgre?pbqr=LD8C3-NL8XQ-Q28BV

Those who got invites should be able to invite more folks > "Most of the existing users have the ability to invite others, so if you know someone that has an account, you can ask them for an invite." https://tildes.net/login
Takes somewhere between 48 hours and a week to generate the first invite codes, though. (Those are the two closest moments at which I checked before and after I had invites available)

I feel for you man. I live in Brooklyn where I can meet all the weirdos I want (though the fact that we're so spread out makes having a 'community' hard sometimes). So I get why Reddit and its ilk would seem like the best available option. But if at all possible, I think moving to where your people are is going to scratch the itch more holistically. This person has been thinking hard about this: https://twitter.com/P…
That's the strange thing of it all. I'm not necessarily in Los Angeles proper, but I'm in a suburb and am fine driving downtown. There theoretically shouldn't be a better place to find some 20's people interested in various geek/tech content. I'm sure the groups are there, but I'm not sure where to look. The only better place in theory is up north in Silicon Valley. But I'm not sure if I want to move and drastically…
Agreed that there's not great resources for local discovery, beyond Discord groups and Meetups (which sort of died during the pandemic)

Labels and infighting is easy. I wonder if they are actually fascists or tankies. Also, what is a "tanky"?
Tanky is a far left authoritarian, or apologist for far-left authoritarianism. Roughly the leftist counterpart to fascist.
Reading up on it I guess the main instances moderation does not live up to their rules & is what the issue is about. Whether they’re really in support of being anti-human rights or just incompetent at moderation I dunno. I hope the latter vs the former, guess we’ll figure it out over time - which communities will be ran well vs the ones that aren’t.

Sift ( https://sift.quest/ ) is working hard on doing exactly that. We don't have enough users to actually show it off yet, but at our core we're building around a user reputation/relevance graph that we think will let people curate streams like that. In our model, as soon as anyone you trust in our graph says "this is a 101 type post/comment" we can realize you are not interested in seeing it and de prioritize it in…
Is trust per person or per person per topic?
Comprehensive? No. Nothing even comes close to the scale that reddit has for the niche that Reddit has. For local things, consider instead Facebook groups and nextdoor... not that I think that those are good alternatives. There may be a slack channel or discord group too - though those fill different (but often similar) roles. One of the issues that you'll see with this is that you'll need multiple accounts to handle…
Saidit is a publicly funded, opensource alternative to Reddit, that uses the same old.reddit code. For anyone who doesn't like the Fediverse, Saidit seems like the best option.
