Hello, Goats!
I was a once was a beta tester on the original Voat, and have been floating around, on and off, since then. I have had a couple of other accounts here, but for some reasons keep being locked out of my accounts.
I am mainly here to shill Free Software tech and platforms.
In this intro, let me mention Plebbit.
Plebbit is real, and the protocol is working. It is possible to post there. The clients are under active development. (If you know React JS, you should find it easy.)
Plebbit is designed to be a complete replacement for Reddit. It is decentralized, and runs on a client (which helps the network) or in a web-browser. It is a bit buggy at the moment, but will be a strong solution for Free Speech.

I think this needs a trust system to work long term.
My 2 copper pennies.
There are 3 literal pedophiles that post here and have nearly fucked it up 8x. One comes back with an alternating vpn and a dozen different users. Wish I was kidding.
Also there are just general fuck-ups who have nothing else to do that hoard the stage if given free reign to do so. Meaning 1% embezzle 90% of attention. The captchas might help or might even make it worse because it rewards the insane who don't value their time in the first place.

How does Catbox manage to accomplish this?

I suspect AI can be written to detect with no human interaction.
And you're spot on. There will be some who will act to subvert free speech.

/p/ImaginaryCastles
You would need to buy: imaginarycastles.eth
Once purchased, you would be able to create e.g. funny.imaginarycastles.eth without charge

With that, you could create a community on Plebbit (and do other things elsewhere) with the name:
/p/germ22
People on Plebbit could post fan-art of you there, for example.

It's frustrating to keep signing up on a new site , then just to see that place fizzle out. I wish i know a solution to this.

I hope you pop in to Plebbit from time-to-time to see how it is progressing and try making a post occasionally. It is a based community.

Plebbit hasn't really tried to launch yet. The community is waiting for the MVP (Minimal Viable Product) client to be released. So far, there are only a few communities/subs on Plebbit. More would be useful for testing. (It is a drag that there was a sort of landgrab on .eth names, as it is difficult to find a name for a community which hasn't already been bought.)
This place is far more active. Somebody made a based anti-Plebbit, FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) website, if you are curious. It is a pretty cool website!

You will in the future be able to remember what it was like being on Plebbit in the very early days!

So, I think you have been trying to reach one of the http instances of Plebbit, one of these:
https://plebbitapp.eth.limo/
or
https://plebchan.eth.limo/
And then hopefully you saw something like this:

or

It might take a while for the page to load. Plebbit uses IPFS and it takes longer, but work is underway to make it faster.
Notice the green (or red) light next to the community. This indicates whether that community is currently online. If you are testing, try the test sub or politically incorrect.
If you didn't see anything at all, it might be because you have locked down your browser tightly. Try Tor-Browser to visit the site. That works.
If you go to the telegram site, you would probably need Telegram. (The client is Free, but Telegram uses a proprietary, centralized server and requires your phone number.)

If you are already running IPFS, you might have an ipfs-companion browser extension running in your browser. That might be effecting it.
