I wouldn't say next reddit but there's https://voat.co a lot of those expelled from reddit have moved there. There's lobste.rs for developer only stuff

The problem with Lobste.rs (which arguably is also the key differentiating point) is their invite only system. Unless you know someone who's already in, there's no way to get an invite

You can get invited via https://lobste.rs/chat which is what I did. Since most users on chat are US based, requesting for an invite during that timezone would be the best. I was asked for proof via GitHub/twitter (there's probably more options) and then I got a mail with the invite link.

The solution will be separate forums, in which the forum owners have a stake in maintaining a healthy community. Reddit has willingly allowed itself to be overrun by politics, and it's now bordering on being disinformation. An example is the Libertarian subreddit, which has been completely overrun by liberal and trump supporters. People who visit it get visibly confused.

There are a number of projects for building reddit-like communities . Lemmy and whatever the *.win websites. People are also workign on federated solutions which would remove the hassle of having to create an account for each separate website (https://github.com/ProjectHoot/)

Going back to having separate forums would be great actually

What the past few years have shown me is that we need a place for serious discussion that is not influenced by bots, propaganda, and astroturfing. Public opinion and awareness on current events on sites like Twitter and Reddit is getting swayed by all sorts of bad actors and this is wreaking havoc on our society. I think if we actually care for a healthy community, the future is in communities with verified identity…

I think in that case, people need to pony up something of value to contribute and participate in such an environment. There are a few cases where I think this has succeed, in communities like ChangeMyView on reddit... Paid communities are kind of already starting to take off. I wonder if you could couple a subscription model and a minimum word count, with heavy moderation (of the right kind)... It'd be hard to pull of.
