>All it would take is one great, open forum site to absorb the refugees from a terrible management mistep, and they're toast I doubt it. Unlike Digg, Reddit has community lock-in. If your content is generic memes and videos and general-interest news articles, then you can switch without caring too much if everybody else follows right away. But if you’re in a small city sub or the sub of some niche hobby or interest,…

Lots of those subs are already migrating large chunks of community to Discord.

This is probably specific to your interests. I'm not a gamer. I've never heard Discord even mentioned in any of the subs I frequent.

> All it would take is one great, open forum site to absorb the refugees from a terrible management mistep This is the goal of https://notabug.io it's a p2p fork of reddit based on GUNdb. Still very early; but my hope is that there will be enough interest in lifeboats that people will be interested in helping to construct one.

notabug is a p2p link aggregator app that is: distributed: peers backup/serve content anonymous: but don't trust it to be immutable: edits are not supported votes are PoW *voting is CPU heavy* Hmm, I don't think that's going to scale well

Any specific reason?

In practice it will tend towards federation for calculation of sorts/searches I expect.

The funny thing is that Reddit completely inadvertently killed one of the possible heirs in Voat. That site had potential to steal the traditional Reddit audience due to Reddit's mismanagement. However Reddit's crackdown on hate on the site caused a big exodus of problem users to Voat. The end result is that Voat is now a vile alt-right wasteland that presents no threat of stealing Reddit's mainstream audience.

There is actually another alternative which is quote good called https://tildes.net/ Right now it is very closely editorialized, but conversation level is at a good point.

How can one get an invite?

You don't pay a dime for the amount of client's CPU you use

Depends on whether it makes the site unusable, because that will make you lose customers

Seeing less well off people making do with low quality android phones, I'm not convinced that actually is a thing that happens.
