What Hacker News says
5 sourcesWhy not point Apollo at a Reddit alternative, or use the open-source code for Reddit (or code like this https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) instead of shutting it down?
If Apollo's users (or a good percentage of them) moved over to an alternative platform, that would be poetic justice, at least.
To go even further, all the app devs should get together and create a new platform or pick one Reddit alternative and point all their apps at it.
That way it would be even more likely to get critical mass quickly.
3 weeks should be enough time to come up with a coordinated plan. Don't let Reddit push you out -- push them out and let your users stick with the app they love.

Old Reddit code is still pretty good.

My point was that HN runs on ads and the financial goodwill of YC. If there's hate speech and misinformation on here then it would reflect badly on YC and YC backed companies. So we run into the exact same problem with Reddit and Youtube servers running with ad

companies that don't want ads on a site with hate speech and misinformation.
If you want to set up or donate to such a site to prevent these influences, as you seem to think servers, bandwidth and maintenance is cheap. I think only talk is cheap, prove me wrong. What are the reasons for not creating such a site since you feel so strongly about censorship?
Saidit is an old reddit fork with small changes (the biggest one is no downvotes):
