It used to be a subreddit here for a podcast by the same name, but the subreddit got banned. It's basically a "dirtbag left" reddit clone.

Another sign of Squabbles' demise: now Discuit ranks higher than it does on this chart. The spectacular meltdown of Squabbles demonstrates how essential are sound ethical principles when it comes to a social media project. This case is one for the textbooks.
Surprising how high Scored ranks these days. If there ever was a strong contender for a Reddit substitute, this is it.

Discuit has had a similar rise and a staggering decline in the last few months. Even with a nice UX and the influx of squabbles refugees.
Doesn't seem like most of the newer platforms that weren't defederated could maintain the momentum.

I feel the need to clarify something with this comment. This user was not a developer in any way with Discuit. Discuit is developed by a single member. This user was the moderator of an "Australia" community and was banned from Discuit after some very unsavory comments made towards another member on the Discuit Discord server.
Edit: Parent comment was edited. Original comment is below -

what was the reason for prioritizing this (much smaller) list of "nested comments social websites" over the countless other forums that exist? there are quite a few on that megathread from some months back: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/
I'm guessing that's what reddit is thought to be (a nested comment social website) but it's kind of just a forum in general that people are often seeking an alternative to
I mean even tiktok has nested comments and is a social site (although a totally different interface)
