Fired Reddit Exec Launches Competing Site (thenextweb.com)

An anonymous reader writes: "Dan McComas, the former second-in-command at Reddit -- and vocal critic of its more inflammatory groups -- wants to build a better Reddit, one that focuses on 'healthy, positive communities,'" reports TheNextWeb. Raising $3 million, Imzy.com quietly launched earlier this year with over 500 discussion forums, aspiring to become an advertising-free space where content creators can interact with their fans. Moderators and users of Imzy can be "tipped" with online payments from other users, while the site hopes to remain advertising-free by taking a cut from on-site transactions. But "at its core though, Imzy wants to provide a safe place to share and discuss without the fear of being harassed, a problem Reddit has struggled with for several years."

A social media platform that excludes the hate machine element?

In other words, a platform dominated by faggots and libshits who can't handle real debate with people who actually fundamentally disagree with their bullshit. No thanks.

Healthy as in a safe space for fat people to be fat.

Also, alll the stuff about "healthy, positive communities" sounds like codespeak for "SJW's run this place"

The only problem with that is SJW means "Someone I don't like because I'm a fuckwit".

"triggering"

My god! The horror of warning people there may be disturbing things ahead. It's awful. People should never be polite or considerate.

Also, people who put in wheelchair ramps, they're all cucks.
