Techradar Just Shouted Out Beehaw! (www.techradar.com)

From the article:

"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 mean, they actually DID suggest digg, too.

Wow, Digg is still around?

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Myspace is, too. Seems like these sites rarely just die, they fade into something extant but irrelevant.

Wow, I gave up on the article after seeing slashdot and 9gag. Since I’m too lazy to go back was fark included as an option?

[–] UngodlyAudrey@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Nope. It did have Bluesky for some reason, though. Just a weird list in general.

slashdot and 9gag are definitely at different ends of the spectrum afaik
isn't 9gag just a poor man's 8chan
