I posed a question to Voaters - What's your backup to Voat and why? I was disappointed with the offerings out there (Phuks being one of those).
steered me here
Poal is what Voat should have been.
Yup
poal & https://notabug.io/
phuks is useful, but too politically correct.
What is notabug? Is it operated by reddit?
notabug.io is not operated by reddit. Writen by a voater "go1dfish"
According to the site:
notabug is a p2p link aggregator app that is:
distributed: peers backup/serve content
anonymous: but don't trust it to be
immutable: edits are not supported
PoW-based: voting is slow/CPU heavy
From the voat discussion:
What will get me banned from there?

Pissing me off or endangering my hosting to the point that you incentivize me to get off my ass and write some content moderation/filtering tools.
But even then, the whole thing is designed to be forked, so if I am forced to remove content by my web host, you could mirror all the content I do have (in realtime) to another server that is less restrictive.
No single point of failure. No single point of authority.
Just curious, what do you find phuks useful for?
Phuks allows DIYguns and things that aren't allowed on the infamous site. However, racism & hatred are banned.
To be honest, I've mostly stayed on voat post outage. Poal does have a good feel.
Voat seems a bit impersonal. Responses to comments seem less common. For me, the voting on my comments changed after the gun influx. Previously, I'd get about 9 ups for 10 comments. It seemed to drop to about 6 per 10 or so Also, it is so big that my (few) posts were mostly unnoticed.
I tried phucks during that week long outage. Didn't like it. Finally gave the chans a go. Left the chans feeling a little more world weary and a whole lot dirty.
LOL - exactly how I feel about the chans. Like someone took a dump in my mind :/
