Follow up on Mirage.talk
Hey everyone, about two or three weeks ago I posted on here about a site I had begun using, much like the old reddit. Mirage.talk The post got removed because I needed to give people invite codes, so I asked to people of Mirage and they gave me one of the developers links that you can click on and enter that way. https://mirage.talk/signup?ref=Anon-Pavones
There was a lot of Interest on here, and they are gaining users from Instagram and Twitter also. The number of users has actually risen above 1300. I personally love it, and tend to only use reddit to interact on football/Arsenal related things
Mirage is built around the kind of things people in this sub look out for, old reddit style format, less noise, more control over what you see, and most of all self-moderation. No email, No phone number, No personal info. If you click the link you get 12 word seed phrase(you need to save this otherwise you might forget and lose the account) You can opt in to use 5 'agents'. You can use it anonymously, instead of going through the usual account setup stuff. That alone makes it feel much more open and less intrusive
Noone is there controlling what you post, or what you comment, you can create any 'topic' you want that you are interested in and it won't get removed. If you don't like something YOU block it from your feed. Don't like a User YOU block them from your feed. There are the agents that you see above, one of these I really like called the safespacebot. It changes how something is said, in this case you dont see any nasty comments that are inevitable. I've put examples from the users there
This before and after the 'SafeSpaceBot'
It's built around rewarding actual participation rather than popularity. Upvotes, comments, and posts all matter because they help you earn MIRAGE, and that reward system isn’t just based on who happens to upvote you. From what I understand, the token is meant to be useful inside the platform, it can be used for subscriptions, username reservations, higher limits, and upgrades. So participation has a real purpose beyond karma-like vanity metrics.
What I like most is that it feels like a Reddit alternative focused on use, not just scrolling. The anonymous setup, the low-friction onboarding, and the fact that users can earn something by contributing all make it feel more practical than a lot of the other options I have used.

So you don't have to take my word for it, you can do your own homework. If you like it below again is the link you need to click to get access and that's it. They tend to give 'subscriber tier' to new users, so if you do join, make a post so thats given to you. Hope to see some of you there!
