The Reddit blackout was pretty underwhelming (beehaw.org)

In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and...

Yeah

Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

I will echo this. I was skeptical that any reddit alternative wouldn't just be deplorables. I've browsed some sites with the most unbelievably racist stuff spewed. Pleased with kbin for now.

Kbin has been really great, everyone here is a lot more civil. I remember when reddit was like that prior to digg v3. And then eternal September. It took a while before reddit got to where it is now with almost everyone with any expertise on the website. But I think for the most part, decent people and decent communities are more fulfilling.
