I just signed up. Coming from reddit. Hopefully this is a good alternative.

We are all testing the waters. After a day i can say that the platform have a huge potential. Just be sure to use a well updated, fully integrated app for the best experience.

I'm really hoping we get more and more users here. I miss having the niche communities that were still populated.

I've been here for a couple of days, if anything, I'm pleasantly surprised. This is not Reddit's first clusterfuck, and although there were alternatives at the time. It's finally nice to find something that isn't full of bigots.

That has been the great thing about it, rediscovering that people can talk to strangers on the internet and actually be normal about it. Conversations here don't seem to devolve into fights as they invariably do on mainstream social sites. And I don't have to keep explaining to people that it's possible to care about other people, a concept which several people on Reddit told me was incomprehensible to them.
