"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."
I’ve seen seen Digg being recommended in Reddit posts too. I thought it was a joke but I checked it out again anyway. I thought it look like just any other news site 😅

They really did recommend Digg as an alternative to Reddit. Some stubborn exec at Digg is punching the air right now.

This has to be a joke, right? Digg is basically just an editor controlled blog that reposts the top of r/all these days.
Also… Slashdot? It’s it 1999?
The comments on Slashdot have been way busier the last few says, and most of the comments aren’t even related to the linked story.
I want it to be 1999
No mention of Metafilter or Fark? Pffff.
