Last night was a night of long knives over at reddit. With no warning, a bunch of subreddits have been banned. So far, /r/drugs, /r/bitcoin are still up, but who knows how long that will last.

Thoughts on the best place to host alternatives, given the declining tolerance for discussion of guns/drugs/sex work on mainstream sites? The ideal site would have the following features:

* decentralized / P2P
* good UI
* anonymous (runs over Tor/I2P
* good moderation tools
* deletable messages/accounts/groups
* self-hostable
* open source

So far, some alternatives include:

* Patchwork/SecureScuttleButt
* Riot.IM
* Simple Machines forum hosted on Tor site
* Steemit
* Zeronet
* Gnu Social
* Diaspora
* Telegram
* Discord
* Gab.ai
* Mattermost
* Lbry.io
* dtube
* MeWe
* Dreamwidth
* Alpenhorn

Voat.co isn't a good choice, since it's as centralized as Reddit, and could start censoring just as easily. (Or, more likely, get shutdown, as it hosts a bunch of racist subreddits.

Some of the more popular banned subreddits include:

/r/beertrade
/r/hookers
/r/escorts
/r/gundeals
/r/darknetmarkets
