 impressionable young people
trying to out-do each other in taking offence to things and being angry.

It seems you can't block subreddits like r/politics without making an account.

/r/cpp has some good stuff sometimes.

What would a reddit alternative bring? More of the same? No thanks.

A federated reddit system needs ways to lock down user accounts. That it’s
basically 4chan in terms of anonymity gives too much of an open door to
extremists and trolls. I don’t see any difference between this and voat except
the assumption of goodwill rather than being centered around right wing
extremism.

The fediverse has proven quite resilient to trolls, bots and numerous other
challenges as users and instance operators can block other users and
instances, (or mute/content warn media) among numerous other moderation tools
to prevent bad actors from destroying the signal to noise ratio of each
instance.

I hope that this will democratise political discourse. At the moment, people
having opposing view to the main stream opinion are having exceedingly
difficult time sharing their content.

Reddit's main fault is their willingness to participate in politically
motivated banning. I'm talking about the fate of The_Donald. (There are also
other examples.) Reddit first persecuted and then effectively banned
The_Donald because, in my opinion, Reddit is run by people who hate president
Trump.

It's important to understand that the hate is not something that will go away
after Trump but it will be replaced by hate for the next guy. It's driven by
political tribalism, not Trump.

As basically all social media platforms are doing the exactly same thing as
Reddit, we are not in a good place. We really can't allow our political
discourse and views to be dictated by a handful of group thinking denizens of
Silicon Valley blinded by political tribalism.

 It appear you can't block subreddits like r / politics without have an account.
