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…

it can be done pretty easily with an anchor tag and an href.

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 even works in GitHub Markdown: I use it to put long code snippets/examples into a fold.

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.

Also a community recently on my radar is https://tildes.net

Why do so many sites choose grey on grey? I hate that design choice.

I originally used something else, but enough people complained about it being weird that I made the default a boring white/grey one. There are 10 other color schemes you can choose from in the dropdown in the footer though.

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.

Holy crap.

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

matrix is for live chat. you want saidit which is an open source fork of reddit's open source code that stopped in 2017.
