"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it’s one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you’re going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.
Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you’ll see the platform is committed to avoiding the “hate speech” and “disinformation” that’s prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you’re sure to find something of interest here."
Out of all the instances I’ve tried (barring the personal one I setup last night); Beehaw has been the best! The admins seem like really nice people and I vibe with the philosophy of the place. I just made my own because I’ve always had the idea in the back of my mind, but I wanted to see how well the Fediverse works out before I committed to it. <3 beehaw
