I love the variety of content on Reddit. But many of the subreddits are so toxic and fully of cry-bullies that it's nearly intolerable. I can't wait for the next generation of Reddit to come along, one that will welcome more participation from civil-minded people. (Kudos to Hacker News for somehow achieving that, btw.)
I am. I've been working on it for 3.5 years. It's open source and it's called Comment Castles [0]. I am currently in the process of changing the name to Comment Castles, the main instance is currently at the old name [1]. All the features work with front-end JavaScript turned off. I am currently wrapping up the OAuth 2 server implementation so that we can have third party apps (no API fees!). After I wrap up some rem…
Communities.win exists, but they allow free speech that would get people instantly banned from HN.

How exactly is Reddit a "porn filled shit hole"? I don't see any porn in the vast majority of subreddits. Nobody forces you to visit the rest, and they are typically even marked adult-only.

The racism is horrendous
Moderation on many sites starts with the question "Is this person conservative" If the answer is yes, literally anything he posts is 'hate speech' and he is banned.
