Techradar Just Shouted Out Beehaw! (www.techradar.com)

From the article:

"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it's one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you're going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.

Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you'll see the platform is committed to avoiding the "hate speech" and "disinformation" that's prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you're sure to find something of interest here."

Having a news article finally promote a fediverse instance is a win in my book.

Only issue is that lemmy and kbin should have still been mentioned as a whole, especially since registering to beehaw seems to take some time.

Another non federated alternative that seems to have some traction with reddit refugees is squabbles. Sad that it didn't get mentioned since it also reached ~17k users. This could end up a good alternative for people that find the fediverse too complicated. Though i myself prefer kbin so far.
