I was banned from Reddit for the crime of using a different computer to login. Fun fact - there's no appeal for that one. So I decided I had enough of that particular shit show, did some Googling for something similar to the older Reddit from years ago.

MODERATORS
Reddit has become too political, with inconsistent censoring. Also didn’t love the bullshit with the API costs. Seemed like a power move to push small devs out
Someone posted on one of the subreddits I used to read, and I tried it out. I stopped using reddit because of the API thing and a general dislike of private consolidation that you get with sites like it.
It's been fine. Some rough edges but worth it.
