Isn't the correct term mirror? In any case, this is awesome. I hope the developers add a feature that lets you see removed comments, and previous edits as well. Or maybe even a "time machine" type feature. That would be cool.

showing removed comments and edits are huge privacy issue. you don't know why the comment was removed, or why it was edited.

Dark mode, no ads, similar to old.Reddit.com layout. That’s all I need and this is good. Hope it’s not in some violation of Reddit and gets taken down.

How could taking someone else’s content and displaying it on your site be wrong?

There's a weird paradox... I believe in privacy/free speech/etc, however any social media targeted at those usecases tend to be a cesspool of horribleness.

eg: voat vs reddit

when reddit started banning objectionable subs

edit: it is even more true than I thought. Look at the homepage of https://voat.co at your own risk.

No cruft, no cdn domains and no javascript.

I gave up on reddit a couple years back, but this might make me rethink.

With so many things turning to mud, this is a good thing.

What I cannot figure out is how they do the [-] show/hide stuff without javascript?

Even hacker news - which is relatively lightweight - uses javascript for that.

EDIT: ...and I'm back. It's like eating a box of candy for dinner - sugar rush and no nutrition.

I think there might be some good reasons to let that alone.

There's nothing paradoxical about this. In fact, people arguing for platforms to more heavily moderate content are implicitly requesting what you describe.

Actively silencing voices doesn't stop those people from speaking or change their minds, but it does push them to find new places to converse with others who share their ideas. As such, it should come as no surprise that people with fringe or hateful views make up many of the early adopters on explicitly lightly moderated platforms.

Time machine doesn't need to mean seeing deleted comments. I think it would be neat if you could see what the front-page look like at certain times.
