I wish there were alternatives to Reddit. If anyone has a recommendation, let me know.
Lemmy think on it and get back to you.
Maybe I can help!
I almost feel like there's an answer there for you, but I can't put my finger on it.
However, last night I had a vision about th singer of Motorhead. I think it means something...
I'm struggling to see the connection with Lemmy "Kbin" Kilmister.
Didn't he tour with Mastodon?
How do you feel about Linux and leftist infighting?
Love Linux, but why be redundant about leftists?
Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!
The wrong kind of Leftist ruined Leftism, not the right kind.
/s (because this one really needs it)
There's a place that doesn't happen?
Nobody hates leftists like slightly different leftists.
You take that back π π₯
Truth social
Sure but they are mostly Nazi bars and Klan rallies.
Sail the high seas.
Nice
IIRC there is an open source project for forums communities.

We could always go back to html chats. Hotelchat, Webmaze....
Habbo Hotel
Damn, really?
Individual websites for niches instead of amalgamation websites
Usenet
alt.atheism
what is that?
Not sure if serious. π
Anyway, before forums, there was a network of servers hosting discussions and to some extent file sharing.
The modern version of Usenet is pretty focused on file sharing and mostly so on paid servers.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet#:~:text=Usenet%20is%20a%20set%20of,which%20is%20potentially%20widely%20distributed.
I know right? Also iirc there was some discord alternative, but I can't quite remember the name... it's just as well, the company owning it probably shut it down. It's not like it's some free protocol that can be used by anyone, sigh π
I've heard good things about Lemmy
I have been hearing really good things about this new service called X. Very small and friendly community. You just need to register an account and do 12 easy installments of 420.69 yearly
