Posted by FaboulousNews@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 31 comments
New Canadian social media platform similar to fb but no ads and its free! Anyone around the globe can join. Check it out! kcunac.com (canuck backwards)
Ditch Meta. Go Canadian 🇨🇦

While I want to support my spiritual siblings this looks bad and the name is a travesty. I'd like something less blatantly canadian to foster an international user base, the ability to share content without making an account, and a catchier name that doesn't need an explanation.

You may want to migrate over to Openspace.social. There is none of this random nudity, censorship, account disabling, AI content, data mining algorithms, annoying influencers…
It’s back to basics with straight up human to human connections and interactions.
And ya it’s Canadian

Thanks for you honest review 😁
Canadafication@reddit
Not to be negative, but just some thoughts:
That name is awful and extremely not catchy.
It's such a weirdly obviously missed opportunity that it's using a .com instead of .can
Being unable to view content without making an account is going to cause almost every visitor to bounce before signing up
SnowHannah@reddit
I agree. This was so hard to search for this app when you don't t have an iPhone. Horrible name that is not memorable at all. Change now while you can.

I literally mouthed "Kakuna?" before realizing it's canuck backwards.
Aimhere2k@reddit
Funny, there's a city in Wisconsin named "Kaukauna".

I been thinking about something like this, a well made social media platform owned and operated by the people not the oligarchs.

I would like to sign up but it isn’t letting me register
FaboulousNews@reddit (OP)
How about now ?

While I applaud any non-US/non-Chinese platforms, that name will never catch on. It's neither pronounceable nor spellable.

2fa not working no French (guess that's down the line) No cookie consent
Really really like this UX.
MrMag00@reddit
Don't like the name... but have to say, I like the UX. Good luck

lemmy.ca is an option and is pretty well managed by the non-profit Fedecan.
Facebook is an ugly, awful, manipulative design anyway I'm not sure why anyone would want to emulate it.
Comfortable_Change_6@reddit
So hard to spell.
I like the idea but.
I can’t remember that abbreviation,
Better off with cansome like handsome haha
Can some : Canadian social media

Fuzzy_Windfox@reddit

Iamtheconspiracy@reddit
Wow a thing nobody asked for.

We're literally in a subreddit that's looking for reddit alternatives. It's even called that.
pyr0kid@reddit
and this is literally talking about being "an alternative to facebook".
we're here for r/RedditAlternatives, one might say "it's even called that".
pyr0kid@reddit
so what? this is literally talking about being "an alternative to facebook".
do you realize we're on r/RedditAlternatives? it's even called that.
pyr0kid@reddit
...and it literally says its an "alternative to facebook".
we arent on r/facebookalternatives.

Kcunac advertises itself as more of a Facebook or Twitter alternative, not a Reddit alternative.
FaboulousNews@reddit (OP)
Although the platform is still small but they have over 1,000 active users
threelonmusketeers@reddit
I can't seem to view the site without creating an account.
What advantages does Kcunac offer that a more traditional Canadian Reddit alternative like lemmy.ca does not?

An auto-generated picture? No thanks.
fckingmiracles@reddit
Why is their branding all AI-generated?

As an American, I love you, Canada 🇨🇦. Sorry my country is run by maniacs.
SteamPoweredDonut@reddit
The name is bafflingly awful imo… if you need a paragraph to explain the pronunciation and origin, it’s probably got a low chance of catching on. I wish them all the best, but that name is fighting them every step of the way
UnflinchingSugartits@reddit
No app?
