Stract is an open source search engine where the user has the ability to see exactly what is going on and customize almost everything about their search results. It's a search engine made for hackers and tinkerers just like ourselves. No more searches where some of the terms in the query arent used, and the engine tries to guess what you really meant. You get what you search for.

Fun fact: It's written in Rust! (nearly 90%) https://github.com/StractOrg/stract

I know. A wise decision imo.

  • Closed source (honestly, I'd rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of...)
  • It's annoying, slow and tedious
  • Works better in Chrome™ (I can't even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
  • Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma...)
  • It's a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
  • Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes...
  • The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
  • Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
  • Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
  • Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
  • Dark patterns everywhere
  • They block Tor users
  • (I can think of many more but need I go on?)

We also noticed a consistent criticism of the built-in slur filter in Lemmy.

  • The funniest and most ironic thing about this is that the same people who criticize the filter are the first to insult you... These people already have a home. That home is called Reddit. And even if they're more fascist, they'd better use Gab. But no, this social network better not be corrupted. Lemmy is a very healthy social network. People are friendly, curious and intelligent. It sounds a bit cliché, but it's the truth. I like to make comments and posts here. I feel more free to express myself, unlike in Reddit. I just hope the core developers continue to moderate as well as ever, without giving in to pressure from those troublesome users. Keep it up 💪🏽💖
