Are there any other non-reddit forums you guys use?

Hey guys. Just registered, using the same account name as my reddit username. I thought it was interesting that we finally splintered off of reddit -- are there any other non-reddit forums you guys use? I know the nyc rationality group has a google group, but for the past 5ish years it's felt like every forum I use has been centralized on reddit, which has honestly been pretty convenient. Was just curious about other people's browsing habits.

Thanks.

Its basically a SEEKRIT KLUB for grey-tribers of the general "pro-technology, anti-authoritarian" bent of both left and right variety.

Can you send me an invite?

Is it worth applying to get an account?

I've been in there for about two years now and I consider it well worth the time. It's a good cultural fit for me, though.

Its one of those places where occasionally someone with real insider knowledge will post about a really fascinating topic out of nowhere.

And free speech is treated as terminal value, which is nice.

For example, there are temporary chan-style boards for anon commentary, that automatically delete on a timer:

I think I remember you sending me these generated links back on /r/TheMotte. Been a while. These now churn on an RSS feed?

Some of those comments definitely sell this board. I'll apply.

I really liked this one:
