Show HN: Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported network doesn't have alignment between the needs of the users and the needs of the platform, which is what drove me to make this. Because this is a soft launch, if you do subscribe I'd encourage you not to pay for the time being. I'm still testing the distribution algorithm for returning funds - you won't get overcharged or anything, but I just want to guarantee your funds are properly distributed at the end of the month. I've opened up free accounts to post and interact in the meantime.

Tell HN: My Reddit account was banned after adding my subs to the protest

As you may be aware, there is an upcoming protest[0] on June 12-14 where many subreddits[1] are going private for 48 hours in protest of reddit's API fee increase[2][3], which many expect will lead to the end of all third party apps. I moderate a few subreddits for a niche hobby, and decided to join the protest. We're fairly small, if non-negligible potatos: altogether, maybe 10k-15k active users on a busy day, but still want to show support. So, I commented to add the subs to the list[1] and made announcement posts based on the template[4] linked from r/modcoord. Several minutes later, the site logged me out. I received an email from reddit that said my account had been locked for "suspicious activity" and I would need to reset my password. The timing seemed curious, but as I was logged in over an Airbnb's wifi, I figured it could be legitimate. When I logged back in, I saw that all of the posts and comments I've made from this account had been deleted. The password reset requirement is understandable; the fact that the posts and comments were not restored, less so. Looks like it's finally time to encourage my community to move to another site. 0. https://ift.tt/l4qtBkd 1. https://ift.tt/IsALTZD... 2. https://ift.tt/YSX19Do... 3. https://ift.tt/gGxMAEC... 4. https://ift.tt/iREvPhb
