Zyke: Discussion Forum. Talk, explore internet culture and ideas.
zyke.social
Join Zyke, an open discussion forum where communities share ideas, debate trends and explore internet culture. Create posts, vote and discover what matters.

I built Zyke: Discussion Forum, a discussion forum & social news aggregator like Reddit. Loads fast, moderation is transparent, has user mentions (@), hashtags (#), a democratic voting system and a modern rich text editor.

But how do I monetize without running ads? That’s why I’m skeptical about adding Zyke to the fediverse. The community dislikes products with ads, so it feels like a bad idea to me. I don’t even intend to put pop up ads, just clean banner adverts

    I have not seen ads on the fediverse, yet.

    Any source of ads will get blocked by me as soon as I see it.

    If ads were fixed into the experience of the fediverse I would not use it.

    I would think most other fedi users have a similar view.

    I think most instance hosts do this for ideological reasons.
