#122If you're looking for a low-cruft, minimalist alternative to Reddit or Twitter that's focused on live conversation, check out https://sqwok.im Disclaimer I am building it. Key Points: - Minimalist design with focus on readability & usability. - Real-time messaging meets news aggregator - All posts have a built-in chat room including presence, typing activity, etc. - Fast, open, simple - Anyone can view posts simply b…
" No voting - Relevance is based on chat activity and excluded voting entirely."
Won't this just mean that the top comments will always be flamewars?

#123There'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.

What did I just read and is this real? Also, why grow weed in the bed of a Cybertruck specifically?

hey good question, and it is experimental so we'll see how far it goes, but I think you could get more granular to detect things like unique message author/over rolling time period, account age, perhaps a private vote people could add or other metrics to try and filter out noise.

#125Seems like a rather expensive free service to offer.
How much bandwidth was used by the virality of this post?
If this became popular I don't see how someone could afford to keep it going.

#126No 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…
I remember implementing the comment collapsing thing without JS, you have the "[-]" be a label for a checkbox button, and then you just use CSS to hide the sections for which the checkbox is checked.

#127Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s an alternative interface to Reddit, not a new site with different moderation rules.
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
old.reddit.com isn't really degrading.

#128Cool, it's like https://nitter.net/ (alternate Twitter frontend) but for Reddit. Seems very slow though, not sure if it got the HN-hug of death.
In fact it says in read me that it is inspired by nitter! nitter is written in Nim though, while this uses NodeJS

>but the footage of the suitcases full of ballots after they cleared out the building You mean this? https://voat.co/v/news/4145790 All I can see is a very blurry picture of a women carrying something . The chart is also unconvincing, considering that the same chart also shows republicans beating democrats 2:1 in another time interval (near the very left of the chart). All in all, not very convincing.

#130How can it be privacy focused if it is terminating my TLS connection to Reddit? Your Reddit browsing patterns are just going to accumulate at Teddit.
Given the increased importance of things like /r/wallstreetbets, this data could be pretty valuable.
