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.

While an improvement on Reddit's user interface is welcome, it is yet another way to interact with privately curated content. There are now countless clones and alternatives to Reddit and Twitter that advertise themselves as free-speech (Gab, Parler etc) - yet they all share the centralized model, where user accounts are really owned by the platform and where speech and users can be removed. What I really want from t…
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.
Reddit's not real picky about interfaces like this, especially if they're not for profit. Really the only time they say it's problematic is if you try to pass it of as an official client or use their branding too heavily (Apollo, a client for iOS, had to change up their icons because it looked too much like the reddit Snoo).
Also, for now it seems you can't log in to your reddit account (maybe that's by design), which means you have to bookmark your subs using e.g. teddit.net/r/videos+haskell+woodworking which honestly is not that bad.
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 an…
The Title Content tag allows you to do that iirc. I use it on my site and works fine to hide things that you can expand upon when clicked.

It is an improvement over reddit's gradually worsening interface, however it is still based on reddit's private platform. For an open source alternative on a public platform, there is matrix or member.cash
matrix is for live chat. you want saidit which is an open source fork of reddit's open source code that stopped in 2017.
I like browsing Reddit without an account, just to read something. But I don't want to install their super big mobile app (1GB+), and I hate their lagging and weird website on mobile.
