I didn't really follow the recent "drama" (for lack of a better term), but I'm glad it came about because it created a lot of buzz on hackernews about reddit alternatives which got me to check out the Fediverse (kbin/lemmy), and a few other alternatives. I really like the look and feel of Discuit, but it's inevitable for it to become essentially another digg v4/reddit 2.0 clone because apart from a nice UI and the creator/owner not being a dick, it's still a centralised forum that will limit or censor discussion at the whims of the owner in the end. I don't want that.
@datawraith @alyaza agree about Discuit. I was speaking about it with people and came to same conclusion. "Like people trust companies, I see how more and more companies ditch people and more blatant at that. So all he brings up is, I am reddit 2.0. please come." Not everyone have been burn from company decisions but with it trending so much lately and Shithead mention Lemon sucks as his good example, tells how little this rich guys circle is. So Disquit dev telling that people trust companies?
