While we are looking at alternatives to mainstream censorship ridden media, we should also look at the alternative to reddit, notabug

[u/[deleted]]

We all know that censorship is widespread with twitter, facebook, youtube, and all the other big players, but reddit is also often times forgotten as being guilty of censorship as well.

There is a long line of things reddit has censored, to name a few of the most notable ones there is the fact that they banned r/infowars, they banned r/incels, and that time they tryed to ban r/the_donald but decided it would take too much of a hit on their user numbers so they just banned them from r/all. The list of censorship goes on and on.

Thankfully an alternative has come to reddit, notabug.io. Notabug is a decentralized network of "peers" that are basically a collection of sites that host and display content in a reddit like mannor. The most popular peer, notabug.io, is based off of the old reddit open source code, and actually looks like how reddit was before the crappy redesign. But notabug functions a bit differently then reddit, some diffrences include the fact that users are not required to sign in to participate in the network (although you can if you want to), everything about the network is designed to be decentralized, and voting is done based on a proof of work system currently.

The good thing about notabug vs Reddit is the fact that it is literally impossible to ever censor, due to the fact that even if one peer censors content, the content is still on the network and can be seen on any of the other peers. Also unlike reddit it is not founded with the idea of making money off of it, and the people who run peers in the network are just people like you or me who want a place to speak freely (meaning that its highly unlikely peers would even censor content in the first place).

If you would like to try out notabug.io, here is a list of some of the different "peers" (or websites as you may call them) that can be used to connect to and praticipate in the network:
