A forum with posts, voting, and subreddits. The same thing, but not evil.
Look at the migration off twitter. Can’t we migrate to another platform already?

I am aware of it yes, but Mastodon is irrelevant, most users haven’t heard of it or even care. Is there something else I've missed?

#7I am looking at launching very soon - next week. It will be a brand new platform so it might not be something you're look for. Can I DM/email you when I launch? Even if you end up not using it, I'd appreciate any feedback I can get.

#9When talking about a business doing business, the concept of "evil" is non-sensical.
A business will do everything to stay profitable. That is the purpose of a business.
Any alternative to Reddit that gain some popularity is doomed to meet the same problems of scalability, infrastructure costs, and content moderation. Those things are not free, they cost money, therefore will be run by a business, doing business, trying to stay profitable, and will become "user hostile" once it is not profitable anymore.
This is the fate of any successful centralized social network.

Their is quite a political bent to it. In essence, anything against their ideology will get censored and get users banned. Any anti China or anti Russian state sentiment is enough and is categorised as racism/orientalism. See the below posts for further explanation and examples.
