Been searching for an alternative to reddit for months. I'm aware of Voat, and while I'm fine with the lax nature of the site, I didn't like the posting restrictions. Curious as to where Phucks.co lands in regards to those other platforms.

Welcome to Phuks, a place where people can post whatever it is that is on their minds as long as it doesn't break any laws.
Many of us came over from Voat, and we've stayed here because the rampant hate being spewed daily on the front page is just not our thing. Sure you might not like fat people, or black people, or jews. But feeding into hate is non-productive, and plus it gets boring after a while. I would liken us an alternative to reddit, yet still reminiscent of reddit's first days before the influx of paid advertisements determining content.
We have a small community here from all walks of life, and we refer to each other as Phuks or Phukkers. Notice the wordplay on "fox". Be warned, while foxes are cute they pack a vicious bite, and I will let you in on a little secret: there is an ongoing war here taking place in the background. Which side you fall into will be determined by your love for a specific cabbage. Remember this, new guy: Not all cabbages were created equal.
Stick around for a while, ask some questions. Join the chat and speak your mind. You'll be surprised what you can find here.
A non-player agent, eh? We shall see about that.
There is a war going on for your mind, and the longer you stay here the more susceptible you become to our conditioning!
Broccoli is the better cabbage! I bet you didn't even know that broccoli was a cabbage, did you?
Notice how broccoli is held high above the others, esteemed in its position as the GrandMaster Green. It leads all others to the path of excellence, and fortifies our bodies with vitamin B1, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc, calcium, iron, niacin and selenium. All praise be unto Broccoli.
Phuks has some Terms-of-service restrictions that are inherited from the hosting provider. Given the reasonable manner that they are enforced, I don't see them as an impediment to semi-intelligent discussion of controversial topics.
Voat's CCP restrictions amount to heavy community/hivemind censorship. I think phuks has greater effective freedom of speech.
Many of us used both platforms, the main difference here is the culture. Most of us just want to chill and discover/share stuff we find interesting and aren't all that interested in the insane amounts of drama/witch hunts that go on at those other places.
Hi
The only account restrictions we have are:
We also have some stuff in our TOS about things you can't do on the site, some of these were made by us, and some are lifted directly from our hosting provider's TOS.
If you have any other questions, I can answer them.
Also out of curiosity, where did you find us?
