It's "non-profit" reddit clone, but seems nice. Looks like a cool alpha, and I'd love to get an invite from a current user.

Just asking! Thanks!

I was on it for a few months.

It sucks because the admin is a dictator and bans you at the slightest hint of what they regard as negativity. In my case it was being skeptical about an news article's story and commenting as such.

It's basically a circle jerk, and if you don't jerk off the other users there they ban you.

    Thanks for the head's up.

    To be perfectly fair, a lack of negativity as compared to Lemmy is what I need in life. I like Lemmy, but holy shit, it's like 4 people posting memes, Violet08 once in a while, and then 5,000 Eores complaining about anything and everything. The number of times people ask funny questions about something like time travel, and multiple users say "go back in time and keep my parents from meeting" responses... WTF? I feel like over the last 6 months Lemmy has just descended into a mental health crisis, and it's making it harder and harder to even have normal conversations.

    That's why you need to use the block button liberally here. It sucks, but once you block a few instances and a couple of dozen users, the content here is more moderate and less insane.

    Sadly the small size of lemmy/fedi allows a few dozen users to basically dominate the content pool. And they are vicious towards anyone they regard as hostile to themselves.

    Once I blocked .ml, blahj, and a few others, the content here got way more sane and less negative. The users in those instance have bully complexes.

    That's fair. I'm usually hesitant to block individuals because I don't think one or two negative comments should invalidate someone's opinions forever. Sometimes I even try and engage to try and provide some human connection. But, maybe it's worth a try on the obvious negative for the sake of it folks.

    Same. Got banned there for pointing out some of the echo chamber articles that get posted there. I even donated to the dev because I thought he would be hands off, but nope. He wanted his little kingdom to do whatever he wanted with.
